Edge Al is getting more and more popular in our lives. How can we bring the Al technologies to the last mile of edge sensors? In this talk, we will discuss the TI Neural Network Inference Engine (TINE) and the unique semiconductor technologies to make small Al engines possible inside various types of sensors: vision, voice/acoustic, motion, and current to name a few. How to deploy those low-power sensors in a large connected wireless sensor network for smart manufacturing will be introduced as well.
We will address development flow from definition, platform, and scale, to deployment with semiconductor components and use cases in smart manufacturing settings. Use cases covered in this talk can easily extend to others such as smart factories, smart buildings, smart cities, and smart transportation systems to name a few.
