ClearBlade’s Integration with Google Cloud’s Vertex AI Platform: Surface Smarter AI at the Edge

May 8, 2025

Smarter, Faster Decisions with ClearBlade and Vertex AI

The ClearBlade integration with Google Cloud’s Vertex AI is redefining the edge. By combining Google Cloud’s machine learning solutions with ClearBlade’s edge-native platform, organizations can now surface real-time AI insights where they matter most—in the hands of the operator.

Whether it’s detecting anomalies in critical infrastructure or identifying safety risks through video analytics, this integration makes AI actionable, immediate, and intelligent.

What Google Cloud’s Vertex AI Platform Brings to the Table

Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform simplifies model development with automated machine learning, custom training, and full lifecycle management. It’s built to scale and supports TensorFlow, PyTorch, and more.

With Vertex AI, teams can build sophisticated models to detect anomalies, forecast equipment failures, recognize visual patterns, and more.

ClearBlade: Edge Intelligence Built for Action

ClearBlade is the edge-first IoT platform that connects physical systems with real-time intelligence. It enables data collection, processing, and AI execution at the edge without relying on the cloud.

At the core of this platform is ClearBlade Intelligent Assets—a visual, no-code application that transforms AI outputs into meaningful, real-time dashboards, alerts, and automated actions. 

How ClearBlade Intelligent Assets Supports Vertex AI

ClearBlade Intelligent Assets plays a central role in this integration. It serves as the operational interface where Vertex AI-driven insights are brought to life. Here’s how:

  • Anomaly Detection models from Vertex AI can be deployed at the edge and monitored within Intelligent Assets.
  • The platform visually surfaces when equipment behavior deviates from normal patterns, allowing operators to act immediately.
  • Custom rules within Intelligent Assets can trigger workflows, alerts, or maintenance requests automatically based on AI findings.
  • Intelligent Assets GenAI Assistant, built using Vertex AI, allows users to type everyday language commands and create assets, asset types, and event types. For example, an operator may say, “I want to monitor my fleet of trucks,” and the chatbot will guide them through connecting their assets.

In short, Intelligent Assets takes the predictions made by Vertex AI and turns them into clear, contextual, and actionable intelligence for everyday users.

Top Benefits of This Combined Power

1. Real-Time Operator Awareness

Operators see and respond to AI findings instantly. That means faster decisions and better outcomes.

2. Low-Code AI Activation

No advanced coding needed. Intelligent Assets allows teams to deploy and operationalize AI results with a simple drag-and-drop interface.

3. Privacy and Performance at the Edge

Keep data local. Surface AI insights without streaming sensitive video or sensor data to the cloud—protecting privacy and optimizing costs.

4. Fully Scalable and Flexible

Run your AI wherever it makes sense—on the edge, on-prem, or in the cloud—and manage it all from one unified platform.
