Montreal, Canada - August 15, 2025 - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, is pleased to announce the launch of an advanced Edge AI Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) solution, designed to deliver ultra-fast and accurate arc fault detection in modern power systems. This innovative system leverages the high-performance Renesas RA6M4 MCU, integrated with the powerful Reality AI Tools®, enabling real-time, reliable safety monitoring for solar, smart energy, and DC applications.
By 2030, global AFCI shipments are projected to surpass 40 million units annually as international safety standards such as NEC, IEC 60364-4-42, and UL 1699B continue to expand. Addressing this growing demand, Future Electronics' new AFCI solution sets a new standard in endpoint AI-based fault detection.
The Smart Edge AI AFCI system utilizes the FDC AI Plus solution—a combination of FDC AI and Renesas Reality AI technology—to achieve near-perfect detection accuracy in under 4 milliseconds, using less than 100kB of Flash/RAM. This breakthrough minimizes false alarms and reliably identifies hazardous DC and AC arcs that may otherwise go unnoticed.
