Future Electronics — SMART EDGE AI Sensing Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)

SMART EDGE AI Sensing Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI)

Future Electronics introduces an Edge AI Arc Fault Detection system using Renesas RA6M4 MCU, for fast, efficient detection. Ideal for solar, smart energy, and DC systems, it delivers real-time safety monitoring with minimal resources. AFCI solution is using Future Design Centre (FDC) AI Plus solution a combination of FDC AI and Reality-AI solution.

By 2030, AFCI shipments are forecast to top 40 million units annually as NEC, IEC 60364‑4‑42, and UL 1699B standard expand worldwide. Future Electronics, leveraging the Renesas RA6M4 MCU and Reality AI Tools^® , delivers a breakthrough endpoint AI-enabled system which offers near-perfect detection in <4ms utilizing <100kB Flash/RAM, virtually eliminating false alarms while identifying hazardous DC and AC arcs that other devices miss.
