In the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence, the focus is shifting from the realm of cloud computing to the dynamic frontier of edge computing. This webinar explores the paradigm shift that positions edge computing as the future powerhouse, challenging the conventional dominance of cloud-centric models promoted by major tech giants.

Although there has been hype promoting the idea that the cloud was the only solution for scalability and the availability of unlimited computing capacity, the evolution of systems on chips, heterogeneous architectures such as ultra-low power accelerators and the advent of new software frameworks such as TinyML have paved the way for a new paradigm of Ubiquitous Computing, characterized by the decentralization and distribution of resources.

The webinar delves into the unique attributes that make edge computing the linchpin for the future of AI. This process involves decentralized computation, allowing data to be processed closer to the source, reducing latency, and improving real-time decision making. The result is a paradigm that not only meets the growing demand for speed and efficiency, but also establishes a solid foundation for addressing critical security and privacy concerns.

During the webinar we will delve into how Edge AI works and SECO's approach to this challenge, addressing topics such as Approximate Learning, data pipelines on architectures with computational and energy constraints, and standardized hardware and software architectures for edge computing, taking an approach without technological lock-in.

Join us as we explore the redefined boundaries of Edge AI, where computing is not just everything but is also everywhere, reshaping the narrative of technological innovation.

In this IoT Central Webinar, see how overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is a key performance indicator (KPI) created to measure manufacturing performance. OEE calculation and improvement empowers manufacturers with higher efficiency and quality and reduces costs. Scored from 0% to 100%, an OEE of 100% means the manufacturing unit is performing at peak capacity.

Manufacturers apply the calculation in various ways. Reasons behind the differing formulas include:
- Lack of available data
- Unique line details
- Management preferences

The complexity is in the challenges of obtaining reliable data from machines and processes and transforming that data to improve performance.

In this IoT Central MicroSession with Edge Impulse, learn how to perform feature normalization and standardization prior to uploading data to Edge Impulse. This process involves calculating the mean and standard deviation of each channel and standardizing the data along a single axis to have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. The means and standard deviations will need to be recorded for inference during deployment. We use Google Colab to perform this analysis and transformation prior to uploading the data to Edge Impulse.

The demands of on delivery fleets are evolving constantly, with a market that is more competitive than ever. The need for real-time intelligence to solve transportation issues before they become costly mistakes is business critical. Fleet managers require a roaming solution, combined with IoT / M2M analytics, to reduce time-to-market processes, resolve troubleshooting issues, and bring down the total cost of ownership. In addition, the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate for electronic logging devices is looming and fleet managers must act now to become compliant with this new regulation that takes effect in the United States on December 18th, 2017. It is only with real-time business intelligence data that fleet managers and owners can acquire a total vision of their transportation ecosystem.

This Iot Central webinar will outline the three major ways your company can benefit from deploying a cellular management infrastructure, including:

Instant Global Connectivity & Management - Learn how one platform running on a centralized management architecture can make a tremendous difference
Reliable Network — Cellular connectivity is reliable connectivity. Reliable telematics network (3G), high-security wireless communication, data storage and recovery over non-coverage areas
Improved Cost Control and Compliance – With advanced analytics, fleet managers have better visibility into usage to allow for better maintenance and scheduling along with compliance with the ELD mandate

Internet of Things (IoT) data is exploding, driven in part by the adoption of connected home technologies such as smart thermostats. While the adoption of connected home technology is increasing at a dramatic rate, creating value from the growing volume of sensor data generated by smart devices requires a new approach to advanced analytics at increasing scale.

Join us for the latest Iot Central webinar to learn how Ecobee, a maker of wi-fi enabled smart thermostats, leverages Vertica advanced analytics to process massive raw data clusters at scale to build thermal models so customers can intelligently manage heating and cooling systems and contribute to a sustainable future.

During this presentation, we will explore how:

Vertica in-database machine learning uses massively parallel processing and a familiar SQL interface to accelerate time-to-value on predictive analytics projects
Ecobee’s Vertica implementation and broader analytics stack allows them to answer analytics and data science questions faster
Ecobee is using smart thermostats and data analytics to unlock new innovations around demand response management, time of use optimization and energy storage
