Infineon introduces DEEPCRAFT™ brand for Edge AI software solutions and launches new Ready Models

  • Infineon strengthens its AI portfolio by launching DEEPCRAFT™
  • The new brand will include all Edge AI and Machine Learning software solutions
  • In parallel new Edge AI Ready Models are launched

Munich, Germany – 30 October 2024 – Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) is further strengthening its AI software portfolio as Edge AI comes to a growing number of consumer and industrial applications. With that in mind, the company introduces DEEPCRAFT™, a new software solution category brand for Edge AI and Machine Learning. Infineon recognizes the huge potential of Edge AI for the market, and the importance of providing customers with the tools to utilize Edge AI.

“The applications for Edge AI seem almost limitless. At Infineon we enable our customers to benefit from Edge AI”, said Thomas Rosteck, President of Infineon’s Connected Secure Systems division. “We are proud to drive the development of innovative, trustworthy, convenient and green AI solutions. By establishing DEEPCRAFT, we’re making sure that our customers have a broad portfolio of Edge AI solutions to suit any need, with the added benefit that our Edge AI software and state-of-the-art hardware work together seamlessly.”

The DEEPCRAFT brand portfolio will include the existing Edge AI software products DEEPCRAFT Studio and DEEPCRAFT Ready Models (formerly Imagimob Studio and Imagimob Ready Models) and will quickly expand to provide Infineon customers with an even wider range of new Edge AI and Machine Learning software tools, models and solutions. Find more information on DEEPCRAFT, including the current product offering, available here.

Launch of new DEEPCRAFT Ready Models

In parallel with the introduction of DEEPCRAFT, the Infineon-owned Edge AI company Imagimob has launched additional Ready Models. These AI models are easily deployable and ready for production. The five new Models support gesture and surface detection via radar sensors as well as human fall detection using an accelerometer and extend the audio detection offering to industrial customers.

The new DEEPCRAFT Ready Models can be used to trigger many functionalities tailored to customers’ needs. The new models include:

  • DEEPCRAFT Ready Model for Direction of Sound Arrival Detection can be paired with other audio detection models to determine where a sound is coming from. When paired with the Ready Model for Siren Detection, for example, vehicles can understand which direction an emergency vehicle is coming from; That information can then be used to trigger various safety enhancements or to enable autonomous driving.
  • DEEPCRAFT Ready Model for Surface Detection is designed to let smart lawn mowers determine whether a surface is grass or not using a radar-based model, bringing a new level of sophistication to these devices.
  • DEEPCRAFT Ready Model for Factory Alarm Detection brings an added layer of safety to factory workers. It can, for example, be used to send an alert to workers wearing noise cancelling headphones or similar equipment when a siren or alarm goes off which might otherwise be inaudible.
  • DEEPCRAFT Ready Model for Gesture Detection makes smart homes and lifestyle products easier to use. For example, items can be turned on or off and volume can be raised or lowered with a radar-based model that recognizes five hand gestures.
  • DEEPCRAFT Ready Model for Fall Detection uses an accelerometer to understand motion and recognize falling, with minimal battery consumption for long battery life in wearables, providing safety for users, especially senior citizens.

“Our expanded Ready Models portfolio makes it possible for customers to quickly integrate AI capabilities into their products and services and unlock new possibilities for smart, safe and sustainable solutions that transform industries and improve lives,” said Anders Hardebring, CEO of Imagimob. “The expanded range of DEEPCRAFT Ready Models is an important step in creating a marketplace for any customer’s AI model needs and builds a solid basis for further DEEPCRAFT solutions by Infineon.”

Imagimob has been part of Infineon since May 2023 and drives innovation at the forefront of Edge AI and tiny ML, enabling the intelligent products of the future. Imagimob products offer game-changing productivity and faster time-to-market. DEEPCRAFT™ Studio is a platform for swift end-to-end development of Edge AI applications for embedded devices. Off-the-shelf DEEPCRAFT™ Ready Models enable quick, easy implementation of Edge AI.

Quantized Neural Networks for FPGA Inference

Sponsored by Intel

Implementing a low precision network in FPGA hardware for efficient inferencing provides numerous advantages when it comes to meeting demanding specifications. The increased flexibility allows optimization of throughput, overall power consumption, resource usage, device size, TOPs/watt, and deterministic latency. These are important benefits where scaling and efficiency are inherent requirements of the application.

High Power Charging Inlets
All major truck and bus OEMs will be launching electric vehicle platforms within the next few years and in order to keep pace with on-highway and off-highway EV innovation, our charging inlets must also provide the voltage, current and charging requirements needed for these vehicles. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Drew Reetz from TE Connectivity investigate charging inlet design considerations for the next generation of industrial and commercial transportation, the differences between AC only charging and fast charge and high power charging inlets, and the benefits that TE Connectivity’s ICT high power charging inlets bring to these kinds of designs.
