Fibocom in collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies have announced the launch of their cutting-edge Linux-based edge AI solutions which integrates a series of Qualcomm Technologies-powered Fibocom smart modules.
This new series of solutions utilise a lot of Fibocom’s smart modules SC171, SC171L, SC138 and SC126 series that are developed based on the Qualcomm QCM6490/QCS6490, Qualcomm QCM5430/QCS5430, Qualcomm QCM6125, and Qualcomm QCM2290 processors from Qualcomm Technologies with integrated Linux system, will unveil the peak performance of Linux-based industrial applications with robust connectivity and scalable operating system compatibility, and also accelerate the integration of advanced 5G, edge AI across emerging industries like robotics. With the expansion of digitalised industries, Fibocom will intensify the Linux-focused embedded computing intelligence and use expertise in edge AI inclusion to help industry customers realise responsive decision-making, real-time communication and ultra-reliable system interoperability in industrial automation, smart manufacturing, smart retailing through the partnership.
At the “heart” of Industry 4.0, interoperability is crucial for operators to get insights into the equipment’s performance in the field. This series solutions is poised to advance the industrial applications that demand wireless connection, high-integration expertise with design-in Linux operating system for easy integration and long-term product lifecycle optimisation. By adopting Linux-supported Fibocom’s smart modules, Linux engineers around the world have the ability to develop industrial devices such as industrial PCs (IPCs), edge AI workstations, smart POS terminals and industrial routers with higher efficiency as well as potent multimedia processing capabilities.
Harnessing the interoperability of the Linux operating system, industry-focused customers catered to the benefits below:
- Utilising the stability and reliability of the Linux system, the Linux-based edge AI solutions integrated with Qualcomm Technologies-powered smart modules ease the concerns of diverse system integration to industrial control systems and enable the 24/7 data transmission and management of industrial equipment with minimum risk of malfunction and downtime.
- The Linux-based Edge AI Solutions are highly flexible and customisable compatible with industrial standards and can be widely deployed in industrial PCs (IPCs), industrial cameras, edge AI workstations, smart POS terminals, and robotics.
- Inherently beneficial from the robust feature and open-source nature of the Linux operating system, the solutions allow equipment manufacturers to safeguard product development and management with long-term upgradable support through the entire lifecycle.
Fibocom unveils intelligent lawn mower robotic solution with Linux-based smart module SC171 integrated
The lawn mower robotic solution is a highly integrated solution equipped with Fibocom smart module SC171 and edge AI algorithm, empowering lawn mowers with capabilities in environmental perception, precise positioning, map construction, path planning, autonomous obstacle avoidance and wireless connectivity. The lawn mower robotic solution enables the autonomous navigation of the lawn mower without using boundary cables, changing the lawn mower industry. The core of this robotic solution lies in the AI-based lawn recognition algorithm, equipped with outdoor cameras, to achieve accurate detection and efficient planning of the lawn boundaries. It is worth mentioning that the solution also includes responsive obstacle avoidance and automatic recharging, in addition to the mapping function and an “edge-cutting mode” to facilitate precise mowing even at the sidelines. By deploying the solution, it will enhance the operational efficiency of the lawnmowers and reduce the time-to-market of lawn mower’s massive deployment in the global marketplace.
“We are proud to collaborate with Fibocom to help them develop these Linux-based edge AI solutions for industrial applications,” said Dev Singh, a vice president of business development and head of building, enterprise and industrial automation at Qualcomm Technologies. “By utilising Fibocom’s smart modules and Qualcomm Technologies’ powerful processors, Fibocom are enabling the integration of advanced edge AI technologies, empowering industries with responsive decision-making and real-time communication capabilities.”
“We have a clear vision for the edge AI-enabled future, and with the collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, we will continue building the Linux-based edge AI-driven core solution for industrial-focused markets,” said Ralph Zhao, a VP of MC BU at Fibocom. “The first landed implementation in the robotic industry has infused confidence into the utilisation of both Fibocom and Qualcomm Technologies’ strength to empower an intelligent, future-promising digitalised world.”
