Qualcomm announced plans to buy EdgeImpulse during Embedded World Germany. This move aims to boost Qualcomm's offer to developers and extend its lead in AI for Internet of Things products and services. The companies must meet standard conditions before closing the deal. This purchase fits perfectly with Qualcomm's plans to change IoT through chips, software, services, developer tools, partners, solutions, and industry plans.
Nakul Duggal from Qualcomm expressed excitement about adding EdgeImpulse's advanced AI platform to their IoT strategy. He believes this purchase strengthens their position in AI and helps developers. The combined tech will serve important areas like retail, security, energy, utilities, supply chains, and asset tracking. Companies succeed when they create practical solutions that let developers and businesses use AI to learn from data and build apps for industry transformation.
AI adoption across IoT happens because it helps automate workflows through quick data gathering, smart analysis, and better decisions. This gives businesses more flexibility and efficiency. Qualcomm is ready to benefit from these trends with its edge AI technology leadership. Last year, they changed their approach to meet different IoT needs by creating complete packages of services, software, and hardware that work across many industries.
EdgeImpulse provides tools for over 170,000 developers who create, deploy, and watch AI models on edge devices. Their platform supports many types of processors and makes development easy with user-friendly features requiring little or no coding. Developers use these tools to build solutions for tracking assets, manufacturing, finding problems, and predicting maintenance needs using computer vision, time-series data, audio events, and speech recognition.
Qualcomm plans to let EdgeImpulse developers target Dragonwing processors with great AI performance, computer vision, graphics, and processing abilities. Working with Qualcomm AI Hub makes models run up to four times faster with smaller size and memory needs. EdgeImpulse already works with some Dragonwing processors and will add support for more soon. They'll keep their website but brand it as "Edge Impulse, a Qualcomm company," and continue supporting all developers and partners.
