Advantech, a major industrial computer manufacturer, is actively deploying in the opportunities of AI moving from the cloud to the edge. The company's VP Bao Zhiwei discussed the development of Edge AI at COMPUTEX, emphasizing the significant growth in output value compared to cloud AI. However, entering the edge AI market poses challenges due to higher entry thresholds, with three main differences from AI servers: customized servers, mass deployment requirements, and diverse computational needs. Advantech has been collaborating with customers in various sectors such as smart transportation and factory AI equipment to enhance production efficiency and rates. The rise of AI robots, particularly autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) like those used in Amazon, is expected to further drive the demand for edge AI equipment in the industrial computer market.
