Accelerate Processing Power Where It’s Needed

The edge refers to computational processes occurring close to the data sources at these locations – be they sensors, devices, or end-users – rather than relying on centralized systems that are common in traditional AI processing. This unlocks hyper-personalized experiences such as dynamic menu recommendations in quick-service restaurants, while also contributing to significant savings in data transfer bandwidth.

Supermicro and NVIDIA deliver Edge AI solutions that streamline deployment through pre-integrated components with optimized hardware and software for real-time processing.

Real-Time

From data analysis, monitoring, predictive maintenance, or personalization, AI at the edge will empower you to meet your business needs as they happen

Uninterrupted

Offline processing and inference enables uninterrupted operations in remote or disconnected environments

Personalized

Understanding and responding to customer preferences in a more natural and engaging manner to create innovative experience, powered by generative AI

The Two Halves of Edge AI

The deployment of AI at the Edge can be for two distinct yet complementary purposes: predictive and generative AI. Predictive AI is the analytical powerhouse, leveraging historical data to forecast future events.

Generative AI, conversely, is a creative catalyst that uses underlying data patterns to synthesize new information, driving innovation and personalized experience.

Edge AI Types: Generative and Predictive

Retail

Leveraging predictive AI to revolutionize retail spaces

  • Asset Protection
  • Autonomous Shopping
  • Demand Forecasting
  • Recommenders & Hyper-Personalization

In the retail sector, predictive AI is revolutionizing asset protection. By analyzing patterns and identifying potential threats, AI systems provide retailers with preemptive solutions to reduce losses and enhance store security.

These calculations must happen at the edge to facilitate the real-time responses that are required to respond effectively.

Quick-Service Restaurants

Enabling restaurants to stay in front of the competition

  • Speech-enabled food kiosks
  • Food quality and operational efficiency
  • Forecasting & inventory

Quick service restaurants are embracing generative AI to transform their customer experience. Speech-enabled food kiosks, powered by generative AI, offer personalized interactions, understanding and responding to customer preferences in a natural and engaging manner.

Generative AI can offer upsell and complimentary suggestions on the fly or offer human-like customer service right within the kiosk. When combined with predictive AI that learns from a customer’s loyalty card history, each subsequent visit can provide deeper customizations and more delightful interactions.

Manufacturing

Streamlining end-to-end manufacturing challenges

  • Workforce Health and Safety
  • Automated Quality Inspection
  • Mitigation of Skilled Employee Attrition

The manufacturing industry is leveraging predictive AI to address one of its most important and expensive challenges: workplace safety. Companies are using Edge AI hardware to connect data feeds from CCTV, machinery, and operational software to provide real-time predictive analysis of potential hazards.

Another significant application is automated quality inspection. For example, by continuously monitoring an automotive parts production line and feeding data into a predictive AI system, it is possible to provide real-time insights for quality control and significantly reduce the risk of defects.

Healthcare & Medical Devices

Helping those who help others provide the highest quality care

  • Patient safety and monitoring
  • Diagnostic imaging
  • Wayfinding

In healthcare, predictive AI is increasingly being trialed with diagnostic imaging, attempting to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of medical diagnoses by augmenting trained experts.

Another example, particularly in hospital settings, is to use generative AI for wayfinding - an application that enhances the patient and visitor experience. Digital kiosks and concierge services, powered by AI, guide individuals through complex hospital layouts, offering directions and information either on wall-mounted screens that follow the visitor’s progress or on updates delivered right to a mobile device.
