Sony has announced that its AI-powered edge sensing platform AITRIOS™ will be available in Japan, the US and Europe from the end of 2021. Sony is currently recruiting business partners around the world and inviting them to get involved. in the development and implementation of detection solutions based on cameras with AI and other solutions capable of taking full advantage of this platform.
The AITRIOS platform allows to optimize the development and implementation of detection solutions based on cameras with AI, among others. The first step in service involves providing a single environment that offers a variety of features that make it easy to partner with solution providers such as AI developers, application developers, camera manufacturers/module integrators, and system integrators to build solutions that span from the edge up to the cloud
Through this platform, Sony wants to facilitate the development of optimal systems, in which the edge and the cloud work in synergy, to help its partners popularize and expand environmentally friendly detection solutions using edge AI, and to offer new added value and help solve the challenges faced by different industries.
Operating environment and challenges
Advances in AI, the expansion of the Internet of Things, and the acceleration of digital transformation have resulted in a growing need for sensing technologies that extract data from image sensors for use in recognition tasks, in order to provide new added value and help solve business challenges. On the other hand, with the increasing number of Internet of Things devices that acquire and use images, such as smartphones, security cameras, home appliances, and automobiles, some concerns have been raised about overreliance on the cloud of data. systems that service all these devices.
The enormous amount of data sent from Internet of Things devices and the increase in energy consumption for the operation of systems have become social problems that must be solved. In addition, there are other challenges that also hinder the spread and expansion of detection solutions, such as privacy when personally identifiable data is stored in the cloud, data transmission latency, data manipulation, and other concerns. related to safety, as well as the risk of service interruptions during emergencies.
