Dell Technologies has announced the expansion of its edge partner ecosystem with Hyundai AutoEver and Intel to help manufacturers derive more value from their edge data with AI.
These initiatives underscore Dell's commitment to leveraging edge data for transformative business outcomes in the manufacturing sector.
To ease manufacturers' transition to an AI-enhanced factory, Dell is introducing updates to the Dell Validated Design for Manufacturing Edge with the integration of Hyundai AutoEver. This integration will enable real-time data analysis and AI-driven optimisations, empowering plant managers to enhance equipment performance, predict maintenance needs, and increase productivity.
The Dell Validated Design for Manufacturing Edge is now supported by NativeEdge, Dell's edge operations software platform. Manufacturers can simplify infrastructure deployments, manage multiple applications on the factory floor and scale infrastructure and applications quickly while maintaining factory security.
This comes as the IDC expects AI will drive major growth in edge computing spend over the coming years, with worldwide edge computing spend expected to reach $232 billion in 2024, an increase of 15.4% over 2023.1
Speaking about the expansion of Dell's manufacturing edge solutions, Pierluca Chiodelli, Vice President of Engineering Technology at Dell Technologies, said, "Artificial Intelligence is poised to transform how quickly and accurately edge data can be collected, analysed, and acted upon.
Dell Technologies is expanding its edge partner ecosystem with Hyundai AutoEver and Intel to help manufacturers derive more value from their edge data with AI. These collaborations highlight a pivotal role played by the Dell edge ecosystem in providing customers the latest technologies to harness the power of their edge data."
Dell is also introducing enhancements to Dell NativeEdge Blueprints using Intel's OpenVINO Developer Toolbox. The integration provides businesses with more flexibility and choice for the deployment and management of AI and machine learning applications at the edge. Simplified orchestration and management of edge computing resources provide seamless and secure application deployment on Intel-based hardware.
Optimized AI inferencing offers real-time insights and improved operational efficiency for businesses.
"By integrating OpenVino Developer Toolbox into NativeEdge Blueprints, we are empowering businesses to unlock the full potential of AI at the edge, optimizing operations and paving the way for new, intelligent applications. This is a game-changer for industries worldwide, accelerating the path towards a smarter, more connected future," said Muneyb Minhazuddin, vice president and general manager of NEX compute and edge AI software, Intel.
