- 7 Milestones
Machine-learning inference that runs on the machine, line, or site instead of in a remote cloud—quality inspection, vision, and closed-loop control. Typical hardware is a rugged GPU/SoC (NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm, Intel) with millisecond latency and no WAN dependency. Industrial uses include Advantech factory brains, inspection cameras, delivery drones, and on-robot policy inference.
