Edge AI is a union of the two powerful words, embedded machine learning and TinyML.
So, before starting to talk about how Edge AI can solve different Operations problems in Buildings and Industry, we need to understand in depth what these words are.
Starting with Embedded,
What is “embedded”? Embedded systems are the computers that control the electronics of all sorts of physical devices. Embedded software is software that runs on them.
Embedded systems are usually meant to perform one specific, dedicated task. Because they have constrained resources such as memory.
On the other hand, Programming embedded systems is the art of navigating these constraints, writing software that performs the task required while making the most out of limited resources.
Now, talking about The Edge and The Internet of things (IoT).
The Internet of things are all the devices connected to the internet creating and consuming data. It includes everything you can think of: industrial sensors, home sensores, city sensors. These sensors give the network different kinds of data such, numerica data, image data, sound data, binary data and so on.
Now is the moment to join the parts. All of these devices are embedded systems, because each of them contains microprocessors that run software written by embedded software engineers.
Since they’re at the edge of the network, we can also call them edge devices.
Now something more, Performing computation on edge devices is known as edge computing.
All is clear, nice. The edge isn’t a single place, it’s more a broad region. Devices at the edge of the network can communicate with each other, and they communicate with remote servers too. In fact, there are servers that live at the edge of the network.
Why are Edge Devices important to Company’s Operations?
There are some major benefits to being at the edge of the network. One, it’s where all the data comes from! Edge devices are our link between the internet and the physical world. They can use sensors to collect data based on what is going on around them. They have access to data that nobody else does.
Last but not least, imagine if we can empower these devices with the AI power to make decisions on edge, in near real time, with zero latency and without need to send the data on the internet and pay monthly bills for that. This is the Edge AI power.
Imagine what edge AI could do for your business?
