Scaling Vision-Based Edge AI Solutions: From Prototype to Global Deployment

The Embedded Vision Summit brings together innovators in silicon, devices, software and applications and empowers them to bring computer vision and perceptual AI into reliable and scalable products. However, integrating recent hardware, software and algorithm innovations into prime-time-ready products is quite challenging. Scaling from a proof of concept—for example, a novel neural network architecture performing a valuable task efficiently on a new piece of silicon—to an AI vision system installed in hundreds of sites requires surmounting myriad hurdles. First, building on Network Optix’s 14 years of experience, Professor Kaptein will detail how to overcome the networking, fleet management, visualization and monetization challenges that come with scaling a global vision solution. Second, Maurits will discuss the complexities of making vision AI solutions device-agnostic and remotely manageable, proposing an open standard for AI model deployment to edge devices. The proposed standard aims to simplify market entry for silicon manufacturers and enhance scalability for solution developers. Maurits will outline the standard’s core components and invite collaborative contributions to drive market expansion.
