In collaboration with Taipei City, we will begin providing solutions for AIxIoT edge computing systems, including device management and maintenance after installation.
Operational Issues Accompanying the Spread of AIxIoT Edge Computing
After the era of centralized processing by cloud computing, the spread of AIxIoT edge computing, which has advanced processing capabilities, is rapidly expanding due to technological advances. With the increase in applications that require low latency and real-time performance, and the development of mobile networks such as 5G, it is expected that a large number of edge devices will continue to be used in the future.
On the other hand, with the increasing sophistication of edge devices, there are more opportunities for software updates and modifications after installation, making it extremely difficult to deal with edge devices installed in remote or inaccessible locations. In addition, AI application technology advances very quickly, and there is a need for a software-defined mechanism for updating models and introducing new technologies, etc., in anticipation of long-term system operation. Especially in a large-scale edge computing environment, it becomes difficult to manage operations in proportion to the scale of installation.
Open device management solution
As an agent for NVIDIA, Macnica has been supporting customers in implementing edge computing, focusing on the company's Jetson series, which has gained overwhelming support in the industrial market. In response to increasing market demand for device management solutions in recent years, the AI BOX (Edge AI "MIC-AI" and AI video solution "MIC-IVA" developed by Advantech, a leading company in industrial computing, are both NVIDIA® Jetson Xavier™ NX), Jetson-compatible AIxIoT device management solution "Allxon Device Management Service (DMS)" developed the Company Allxon, which provides advanced SaaS device management solutions, With Jetson's support track record and advanced technical capabilities regarding hardware and software, we provide a one-stop, total solution for customers considering the introduction of edge computing, including device management and maintenance after operation.
