Executive Summary
The promise of automation is its ability to improve and modernize operations anywhere. The real-time data that once existed only in data centers can now be gathered and accessed across the spectrum of commercial and industrial settings. It’s a phenomenon highlighting a tangible shift in how we think, how we act, and how we compute. And it’s driving the rapid adoption and growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies, promising to streamline processes and tighten timelines across business sectors and around the world. When layered with edge computing, data processing and analysis occur close to the source, enabling the real-time decision making that makes such a difference in industrial operations. Rugged edge computing takes these capabilities a leap further, allowing these same actions to be taken in the harshest industrial environments where extreme temperature, dust, debris, or vibration present their own challenges of performance, latency, and reliability. Think aerospace, manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation, among others.
Embedded designers are working to bring advanced automation applications to inhospitable industrial environments – empowered by the potential inherent to rugged edge computing. That said, designing for the rugged edge requires a significant understanding of the critical considerations that ensure durable, reliable computer performance suited to handle the algorithms that drive inference computing for machine intelligence.
It's an ever-evolving dilemma that demands exploration, analysis, and expertise. And time – a luxury the vast majority of designers do not have. Reading, reviewing, and mulling over the myriad news articles, reports, and white papers covering the rugged edge is simply not feasible for any one designer. To support this challenge, Premio has considered a broad scope of respected industry analysis and research, extrapolated key insights, and developed a series of reasoned conclusions into how this emerging technology performs in a variety of severe scenarios, as well as key considerations for its implementation and success.
A leader in the edge computing ecosystem, Premio taps into its industrial computing heritage to develop solutions that address the nuanced needs of increasingly diverse industrial applications. This is accomplished via a deep understanding of the industrial sector's needs, a commitment to leveraging the latest technologies, and a forward-looking approach to the integration of AI and computing at the edge. Premio’s focus on rugged and reliable solutions underscores the company’s commitment to meeting customer demands for uniquely rigorous performance, and actively contributing to the ongoing evolution of edge computing and AI integration.
Premio’s ‘Snapshots into the Edge’ ebook leverages the abundance of analytical and technical material available on the rugged edge to form a concise view of what has recently been referred to as ‘the edge continuum.’ The paper delves into market and growth projections, and the industry's move towards more scalable, modular, and secure computing solutions. The document also highlights the role semiconductors play in enhancing edge AI capabilities within robust hardware solutions designed to meet the demands of industrial IoT. Key technology drivers and stakeholders are identified, along with specific, high-priority considerations influencing the selection of specialized hardware.
To be sure, the integration of AI technologies with edge computing is a transformative force, garnering significant interest from organizations around the globe. The synergy between AI and edge computing is only expected to deepen, leading to more intelligent, secure, and efficient solutions.
