Infineon Technologies introduces a new brand for Edge AI software, DEEPCRAFT thereby bolstering its AI portfolio.
Infineon Technologies AG, headquartered in Munich, Germany, has launched DEEPCRAFT, a dedicated brand for Edge AI and machine learning solutions, marking a significant expansion in its AI software portfolio which is aimed at enhancing consumer and industrial applications through a comprehensive range of ready-to-use AI models that simplify the deployment of Edge AI capabilities.
“The applications for Edge AI seem almost limitless. At Infineon, we enable our customers to benefit from Edge AI,” remarked Thomas Rosteck, President, Connected Secure Systems division, Infineon. Its offerings are tailored to support seamless integration between Infineon’s software and hardware, making it accessible for a wide range of AI-driven functionalities. These solutions are well-suited for original equipment manufacturers, industrial safety teams, and smart device developers seeking efficient and advanced AI solutions in fields like autonomous driving, healthcare, and consumer devices.
With this new innovation, Infineon consolidates its existing Edge AI products, such as DEEPCRAFT studio and DEEPCRAFT ready models (previously Imagimob studio and Imagimob ready models), under one umbrella. This portfolio expansion is designed to meet the rising demand for intelligent, sustainable, and efficient solutions in fields such as autonomous driving, industrial safety, and smart consumer devices.
Among the latest offerings, the ready models stand out for their innovative applications, such as sound detection, gesture control, and safety monitoring. For instance, the ‘direction of sound arrival detection model’ can determine the origin of emergency sounds, enhancing vehicle safety. The ‘surface detection model’ enables lawn mowers to recognize grass surfaces, while the ‘factory alarm detection model’ ensures that factory workers with noise-cancelling equipment remain aware of alarms. additional models include ‘gesture detection’ for intuitive device control and ‘fall detection’, which provides safety for wearable users, especially seniors.
Imagimob, an Infineon company since 2023, plays a central role in this new initiative, leveraging tiny ML to streamline AI model deployment. “Our expanded ready models portfolio makes it possible for customers to quickly integrate AI capabilities,” noted Anders Hardebring, CEO, Imagimob, emphasizing its impact on industry innovation.
