Embedded design teams are moving from edge AI evaluation to deployment and need production-ready, system-level solutions engineered for deterministic performance, security and low power. We’ll begin with an overview of four production-ready edge solutions spanning vision and non-vision use cases: always-on keyword spotting for voice activation, arc fault detection for power monitoring, anomaly detection for predictive maintenance and face ID for secure access control. We’ll outline the shared workflow and building blocks, including how Microchip’s MPLAB Machine Learning Development Suite streamlines the path from data to optimized models and deployment. We’ll conclude with a deep dive into our face recognition and liveness detection solution, co-presented with WG Tech Solutions. We’ll explore the single-RGB-sensor architecture, on-device enrollment, biometric security and robustness to real-world conditions—plus implementation guidance, performance trade-offs and integration considerations for access control and smart entry systems.
