For example, identifying road conditions, detecting obstacles, executing autonomous driving, etc. Get a Free Quote! More Products What is Edge AI? Edge AI refers to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) directly into devices at the edge of a network, rather than relying on a centralized cloud infrastructure. This allows data to be processed locally, on the device itself, without the need to send large volumes of information to a distant server. Edge AI leverages local computing power to perform tasks such as data analysis, decision-making, and real-time processing. This approach offers several advantages, including reduced latency, enhanced privacy, improved reliability, and lower bandwidth usage. Challenges & Solutions Challenges & Problem Edge AI Computing Solution Latency and Real-Time Processing Industrial automation often requires real-time decision-making to control machinery and respond to changing conditions. Traditional cloud-based AI can suffer from latency due to data transmission times. By processing data locally, Edge AI significantly reduces latency and ensures faster response times, which is critical for tasks such as predictive maintenance, quality control and robotic guidance. Bandwidth Limitations Transmitting large amounts of data to and from a central cloud can strain network bandwidth, especially in environments with numerous sensors and devices. Edge AI mitigates this by processing data at the source, reducing the amount of data that needs to be sent over the network. Reliability and Downtime Relying on constant connectivity to the cloud can be a drawback in industrial settings where network reliability is a concern. Edge AI systems can continue to operate and make decisions even if the network connection is temporarily lost, increasing system reliability and reducing downtime. Security and Privacy Industrial environments often handle sensitive data, and transmitting this data to the cloud poses security risks. Edge AI reduces the risk of data breaches by keeping data local, reducing the exposure of sensitive information and enhancing data security. Scalability and Cost Implementing cloud-based AI solutions can be costly, especially when scaling across numerous devices and locations. Edge AI allows for incremental upgrades and expansions and offers a more scalable and cost-effective solution by leveraging existing hardware and infrastructure. Customization and Flexibility Industrial processes vary widely. Edge AI systems can be tailored to specific needs and applications of AI algorithms and models to suit particular industrial processes bringing more efficient and effective operations. Edge AI Applications Vehicle Inspection and Management ARBOR's machine vision solutions are instrumental in streamlining vehicle inspections for Eurotunnel. By employing Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), the system can display relevant information for individual passengers automatically. This technology significantly reduces waiting times and prevents unauthorized vehicles without bookings from entering the tunnel, enhancing the overall efficiency and security of the vehicle inspection process. Enhanced Vehicle Safety The FPC-5211 series leverages edge AI computing to boost vehicle safety by minimizing network latency in processing visual data. Certified with E-Mark and equipped with Intel's 14th-generation processors, this series processes large volumes of sensor and visual data directly at the edge. This capability allows for rapid analysis and response to road conditions, obstacle detection, and autonomous driving functions. By handling data locally rather than relying on centralized servers, the FPC-5211 series ensures quicker decision-making and improved safety outcomes in real-time driving scenarios.
