Access Co., Ltd. announced that LeapMind Inc. has entered into a collaboration agreement with ACCESS as an artificial intelligence (AI) technology partner for NetFront (TM) EdgeAI, a comprehensive solution that integrates edge-computing technology with AI technology to achieve high-speed, real-time AI processing on edge devices. ACCESS and LeapMind have entered into a collaboration agreement to provide a solution that combines ACCESS' advanced technology for managing edge devices in the cloud remotely with LeapMind's advanced model compression technology. LeapMind's advanced model compression technology equips small computing environments, including low power consumption SoC FPGAs, with deep-learning inference algorithms. Specifically, the combination of ACCESS' NetFront (TM) EdgeAI with LeapMind's DeLTA-Lite will be provided as a comprehensive solution for building deep-learning models, distributing them to each edge device and updating them, thereby helping companies efficiently deploy and operate IoT solutions. Targeting low-cost, low-power consumption edge devices, this solution makes it possible to implement recognition features on various edge devices such as small cameras that were not previously able to utilize deep learning. ACCESS and LeapMind will provide this integrated solution to several companies in advance as a pilot test and will offer it officially by the end of the year to factories, warehouses, logistics, security and other fields that are working to equip their numerous IoT devices with AI.
