In a step forward for edge AI, Variscite has announced a new partnership with Peridio, a cutting-edge player in the AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) field. This collaboration offers Variscite customers an advantage by accelerating the development and deployment of edge AI and machine learning (ML) applications.
A Partnership Built for AIoT Excellence
The Peridio platform provides a powerful toolset for building, managing, and monitoring AI applications at the edge. Through this partnership, Variscite customers gain access to Peridio’s workflows and tools, streamlining the development of advanced AIoT solutions. Additionally, Peridio’s platform allows Variscite customers to manage edge devices in the field with secure, bandwidth-efficient over-the-air (OTA) updates and performance monitoring, simplifying the rollout of updates and the maintenance of AI/ML models.
With Peridio’s suite of tools and expert integration teams, Variscite customers can bring AI-embedded products to market quickly. This partnership fosters more efficient collaboration and expedites development cycles for AIoT applications. Furthermore, Peridio’s extensive partner network provides access to additional AI resources, empowering product developers to build and refine their edge AI devices with ease.
As part of this partnership, Peridio will also offer priority support to Variscite customers.
Empowering Innovation with Variscite SoMs
The Peridio platform is compatible with Variscite products featuring integrated neural processing units (NPU). These include:
These modules are part of two Pin2Pin families, DART and VAR-SOM. The pin-compatible design simplifies processor transitions and enhances scalability, providing customers with extended product longevity, faster development, reduced costs, and minimized risks.
“The Edge AI market is evolving rapidly, and companies looking to stay ahead are seeking ways to streamline development while maintaining a competitive edge. Variscite hardware with integrated NPUs leads the SoM market in AIoT readiness, and our platform enables the rapid implementation and management of machine learning-based applications,” said Justin Schneck, Peridio Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. “This partnership offers an end-to-end solution that ultimately helps edge AI companies gain a competitive advantage.”
“Peridio’s platform, workflows, and expertise significantly reduce time-to-market for launching ambitious AIoT applications on Variscite’s i.MX product lines,” said Tal Semo, Managing Director of Sales and Marketing for the Americas. “We’re excited to integrate Peridio into Variscite’s technology ecosystem and to showcase a joint demo at the upcoming Open Source Summit Europe.”
EEG Brainwave Classification Demo on an i.MX 93 System on Module
The two companies will showcase their combined technologies at the upcoming Open Source Summit Europe in Vienna from September 16-18, 2024. Variscite will be a bronze sponsor at the event, exhibiting at booth B18. Peridio will demonstrate its real-time EEG brainwave classification system using Variscite’s VAR-SOM-MX93, an i.MX 93-based SoM, at booth B2. This technology will highlight the potential of edge AI in fields such as healthcare and neurotechnology, showcasing the ability to process complex neurological data in real time.
