予知保全は、IIoT 向け AI の有用性が最も高い分野の一つ SensiML Analytics Toolkit を利用して、IIoT 向け AIを簡単に実装 データ サイエンティストやファームウェア エンジニアに頼る必要のない実用的なエンドツーエンド ソリューション カリフォルニア州サニーベール (2019 年 5 月 23 日) – 最適化した組み込み IoT 向けのAI アルゴリズムを開発するためのソフトウェア ツールを提供する SensiML は、同社が開発した Data Analytics Toolkit が IIoT 予知保全アプリケーション向けの AI (人工知能) をサポートすることを本日発表しました。このツールキットは、実用的なエンドツーエンド ソリューションを提供するため、データ サイエンティストやファームウェア エンジニアによる大規模なチームに頼らなくても、予知保全用の AI を簡単に実装できます。このツールキットを利用して予知保全を実装する製造業者やその他の企業は、従業員の安全性を高めることができ、運用コストの大幅な削減を可能にします。 2017年に発表された「IndustryWeek」誌と Emerson 社の共同調査では、製造業で計画外保全によって毎年 500 億ドルの不要なコストが生じていることが分かり、IIoT アプリケーションの重要性が指摘されています。計画外保全の最も大きな原因 (42%) は、機器の故障です。さらに、従来の保全プロセスでは設備の過剰修理や交換によってコスト高をまねき、リソースの無駄遣いやセーフティ リスクに対するスタッフの過剰配置などが問題視されていることが分かりました。 新しい予知保全アプローチは、これらのプロセスを近代化し、計画外のダウンタイムやそれに伴うコストを削減あるいは排除できます。ローカル ネットワークに接続されたセンサーを機器に取り付け、これらのセンサーがセンサー ノード内で効率的に […]
Driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution
The first industrial revolution started in roughly the middle of the 18th century and ran for about a hundred years. The key elements of that revolution were the transition from hand-made to machine-crafted goods (especially textiles) and water and later steam-powered machinery. The second industrial revolution started around the mid-1800s and lasted into the first […]
CES 2019 Wrap Up
188,00 industry professionals – the most ever – turned up at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to see and touch the latest, the greatest and sometimes the weirdest consumer products. From smart home devices to drones, to futuristic cars to the plant based “impossible burger”, there was a lot to see […]
Convergence of Voice Control and the One-Watt Initiative Driving Unique Requirements in Smart TVs and Home Appliances
The primary application for QuickLogic’s EOS S3 Ultra-Low Power Voice and Sensor Platform is mobile, battery-powered devices that require both always-on wake word detection and extended battery life. As recently as a year ago, if anyone told me there would be a compelling use-case for wall powered devices I wouldn’t have believed it, or at […]
QuickAI, a Practical Solution for AI at the Edge
In our November quarterly conference call we forecasted that we would report our first material revenue for QuickAI in Q4 2018; several quarters ahead of the outlook we provided in May. This led to numerous questions from QuickLogic investors that we could not answer at the time due to the NDA with our customer. We […]
World’s First eFPGA Technology on 22 FD-SOI Process
When GLOBALFOUNDRIES announced the introduction of a brand-new process technology “developed specifically to meet the ultra-low power requirements of the next generation of connected devices” (as they stated in their announcement’s press release), we knew that it would be a great fit for our ArcticPro™ 2 architecture, and in particular our embedded FPGA (eFPGA) technology […]
The End(point) of AI As We Know It
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has burst onto the consumer scene in a big way over the last few years. Now most of us have smartphones and smart speakers which allow us to ask natural language questions or make requests and (at least most of the time) get appropriate and useful responses. This technology is very likely […]
Machine learning at the node
Listen to this short (5-minute) interview between Rich Nass, Editor, Embedded Computing Design and Brian Faith, QuickLogic’s President and CEO during which they discuss current trends in AI – specifically, machine learning at the node level of the network, and how new battery powered solutions can provide critical processing capabilities.

QuickAI™ Platform Covered by Linley Group
As you know, we launched the QuickAI™ platform for endpoint Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications a couple of weeks ago. The editorial community has been very interested in this new platform which provides an all-inclusive low power solution and development environment to economically incorporate the benefits of AI in endpoint applications. Mike Demler, Senior Analyst at […]
Strategic Considerations of Our Recent Secondary Offering
Earlier today we filed an 8-K with the SEC announcing the completion of a secondary public offering. As is noted in the filing, the net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, and exclusive of any funds raised in the future via the cash exercise of warrants, […]
