Empowering AI at the Edge with Advantech

Advantech is at the forefront of driving the shift from cloud to Edge AI, offering tools that enhance performance, reduce latency, and simplify deployment across various industrial applications.

Your Data is at the Edge

In the modern era, industrial applications demand the generation of vast amounts of data on-site. Whether it involves smart sensor networks, image and video processing, machine optimization, or intelligent robots, the need for local data processing where it originates is paramount.

Historically, AI applications were predominantly cloud-based due to high-performance computer requirements. However, advancements in technology have enabled more powerful processors, facilitating the execution of AI applications directly at the Edge.

Why Edge AI matters for Industry

The transition from cloud to Edge AI presents numerous advantages for industrial applications, particularly those requiring real-time responsiveness. Benefits include ultra-low latency, enhanced reliability through offline operation, reduced power consumption, improved data security, and cost savings due to lower bandwidth requirements.

Edge AI emerges as the optimal technology for developing robust, high-performance, and scalable industrial applications.

Evaluating AI Performance for Your Application

When implementing Edge AI, the initial step is to determine the specific AI performance needs of your application. This involves conducting tests using real-world data or similar approximations to your use case.

Advantech’s EdgeAI SDK provides a powerful inference benchmarking tool that allows for the comparison of performance metrics like maximum frame rate, latency, and power consumption across different hardware platforms in just minutes.
