Edge AI applications include arc fault detection and condition monitoring

Microchip Technology has introduced full-stack edge AI solutions built around its microcontrollers and microprocessors to support real-time inferencing in industrial, automotive, data center and IoT applications. The platform integrates deployable pre-trained models, application code and development tools including MPLAB X IDE, MPLAB Harmony and the MPLAB ML Development Suite, enabling AI functions such as arc fault detection, predictive maintenance, facial recognition with liveness detection and keyword spotting across 8-, 16- and 32-bit MCUs and MPUs. Support for FPGA-based acceleration through the VectorBlox Accelerator SDK 2.0 and complementary connectivity and power components allows developers to implement secure, power-efficient AI processing at the edge.
