Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled customers in multiple industries, such as manufacturing, automotive, and energy, to monitor and control real-world environments. By deploying a variety of edge IoT devices such as cameras, thermostats, and sensors, you can collect data, send it to the cloud, and build machine learning (ML) models to predict anomalies, failures, […]

Automated defect detection using computer vision helps improve quality and lower the cost of inspection. Defect detection involves identifying the presence of a defect, classifying types of defects, and identifying where the defects are located. Many manufacturing processes require detection at a low latency, with limited compute resources, and with limited connectivity. Amazon Lookout for […]

Edge is a term that refers to a location, far from the cloud or a big data center, where you have a computer device (edge device) capable of running (edge) applications. Edge computing is the act of running workloads on these edge devices. Machine learning at the edge (ML@Edge) is a concept that brings the […]

Today, AWS announced the general availability of Amazon Rekognition Streaming Video Events, a fully managed service for camera manufacturers and service providers that uses machine learning (ML) to detect objects such as people, pets, and packages in live video streams from connected cameras. Amazon Rekognition Streaming Video Events sends them a notification as soon as […]

Managed video monitoring is a critical component of a comprehensive security strategy for 3xLOGIC’s customers. With more than 50,000 active cameras in the field, video monitoring teams face a daily […]

Abode Systems (Abode) offers homeowners a comprehensive suite of do-it-yourself home security solutions that can be set up in minutes and enables homeowners to keep their family and property safe. Since the company’s launch in 2015, in-camera motion detection sensors have played an essential part in Abode’s solution, enabling customers to receive notifications and monitor […]

Deploying and managing machine learning (ML) models at the edge requires a different set of tools and skillsets as compared to the cloud. This is primarily due to the hardware, software, and networking restrictions at the edge sites. This makes deploying and managing these models more complex. An increasing number of applications, such as industrial […]

Discrete and continuous manufacturing lines generate a high volume of products at low latency, ranging from milliseconds to a few seconds. To identify defects at the same throughput of production, camera streams of images must be processed at low latency. Additionally, factories may have low network bandwidth or intermittent cloud connectivity. In such scenarios, you […]

Running machine learning (ML) models at the edge can be a powerful enhancement for Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that must perform inference without a constant connection back to the cloud. Although there are numerous ways to train ML models for countless applications, effectively optimizing and deploying these models for IoT devices can present many […]

You can use AWS Snowball Edge devices in locations like cruise ships, oil rigs, and factory floors with limited to no network connectivity for a wide range of machine learning (ML) applications such as surveillance, facial recognition, and industrial inspection. However, given the remote and disconnected nature of these devices, deploying and managing ML models […]
