AI+Internet of Things: Edge intelligence opens up a new era of Internet of Things

When AI encounters the Internet of Things (IoT), edge intelligence allows AI capabilities to sink from the cloud to end devices.

1、 The advantages of edge intelligence

  • low latencyLocal inference does not require network transmission, and response time is reduced to milliseconds
  • Privacy protectionData is processed locally and not uploaded to the cloud
  • Offline availabilityCan still work normally without a network environment
  • Bandwidth savingsReduce the cloud transmission of large amounts of raw data

2、 Typical application scenarios

  1. Smart Home: Localized Facial Recognition Door Locks, Voice Control
  2. Industrial testing: real-time defect detection on the production line
  3. Smart Transportation: Real time Vehicle Recognition of Roadside Devices
  4. Smart Agriculture: Disease and pest detection and precise irrigation

With the improvement of AI chip performance and the advancement of model compression technology, edge intelligence will replace pure cloud AI solutions in more scenarios.
