RUUT EDGEBOX — the on-premise AI appliance
RUUT EDGEBOX is the on-premise AI appliance of the RUUT system. It runs perception, open-weight models, retrieval and FORGE verification inside your own facility, so sensitive data stays on site and operations keep running without depending on an external connection.

What it does
What RUUT EDGEBOX does
The whole loop in one box
EDGEBOX hosts VISION, SENSE, BRAIN and FORGE together on your premises: cameras and sensors in, verified actions out, with nothing required to leave the site.
Your models, run locally
Open-weight models run on the appliance's own accelerator, with a local knowledge store for retrieval over your documents. External providers are used only for steps your policy explicitly allows.
Built to keep running
Critical inference stays local, so perception, reasoning and verification continue through network outages. Updates are staged and applied only with your approval, and every change is recorded.
How it connects
Where it sits in the loop
EDGEBOX is not a stage of the loop — it is the substrate beneath all four. Perceive, Reason, Verify and Act all run on EDGEBOX, which is why it sits under every RUUT deployment that has to stay on-premise, from a plant floor to a bank's controlled environment.

Deployment
How it is deployed
EDGEBOX is installed at your site and sized to the workload: the number of cameras and sensors, the models to run and the agents in use. Installation, model setup and the FORGE rule packs for the site are part of every project scope.
Typical uses
- A plant that needs camera footage and safety records to stay on site
- A financial institution that must keep customer data inside a controlled environment
- Sites where connectivity is limited, intermittent or not allowed
FAQ
Questions about RUUT EDGEBOX
Is RUUT EDGEBOX a hardware product?
Yes. RUUT EDGEBOX is an on-premise AI appliance: accelerator hardware with the RUUT runtime, models and local storage, installed at your site. Its configuration is sized during scoping to the cameras, sensors, models and agents a deployment needs, and the same software can also run on infrastructure you already operate.
What data leaves the site with EDGEBOX?
By design, none that you have not approved. Camera footage, sensor readings, documents and the records FORGE keeps are processed and stored on the appliance. If a deployment uses an external model for a particular step, that route is set in policy, limited to that step, and recorded every time it is used.
Why run AI on-premise instead of in the cloud?
For control, continuity and predictable cost. Sensitive or regulated data stays inside your walls; operations keep running when connectivity does not; and inference on hardware you own does not grow with every API call. Cloud still has its place, and RUUT can route specific steps to it where your policy allows.
Do we need EDGEBOX to use RUUT?
No. EDGEBOX is for deployments that need to run on-premise. The RUUT system can also run on infrastructure you already operate, in a private cloud, or in a hybrid arrangement — the choice depends on your data, latency and control requirements.
