Schneider Electric, a global specialist in digital transformation in energy management and automation, has entered into a strategic partnership with Hailo Technologies, the industry’s leading artificial intelligence (AI) chipmaker. Based on the significant advantages of AI technology in industrial automation system performance optimization, efficiency improvement and function enhancement, the two parties will integrate Hailo advanced processor products in Schneider Electric industrial automation solutions, aiming to empower enterprises in various industry segments to cope with future challenges more easily and build their own core competitiveness.
By integrating the Hailo-8 AI processor into industrial automation solutions, Schneider Electric can further improve the efficiency and intelligence of the industrial edge control layer, helping enterprise customers enhance their innovation capabilities. At the same time, with the blessing of AI technology, enterprises can also achieve substantial optimization of production, manufacturing and other links in the short term:
Pick and place operation: Target detection response is 6 times faster than traditional central processing unit (CPU)
Quality control: The classification process runs 20 times faster than the CPU
Yield optimization: Increase throughput and throughput, and reduce waste by an average of 15%As a leader in AI chips for edge devices, Hailo Technologies is committed to applying advanced technologies to help customers in industries such as automotive, retail and manufacturing unlock new computing capabilities. Its Hailo-8 processor is an efficient, compact and low-power AI processor offering real-time, high-precision data analysis at the edge control level.
Eyal Barnea, Vice President of Business Development at Hailo Technologies, said: “We are very proud to enter into a strategic partnership with Schneider Electric. Schneider Electric not only maintains a keen market insight at all times, but also takes the lead in integrating AI technology into industrial automation solutions. With Hailo’s advanced AI technology base, Schneider Electric will be able to more quickly and easily create new intelligent AI solutions that are more powerful and cost-effective.”
Aurelien LeSant, Senior Vice President of Innovation and Technology and Chief Technology Officer of the Industrial Automation Business at Schneider Electric, said: “Schneider Electric is always committed to bringing together leading corporate partners in the industry to create high-quality, cutting-edge solutions. “This in-depth cooperation with Hailo will help us to further strengthen our technological innovation, research and development of the next generation of technologies, and also marks a key step on the road of Schneider Electric to create intelligent solutions with high energy efficiency, thus laying a solid foundation for accelerating the industrial future.”
Recently, at the Intelligent Production Solutions Exhibition (SPS) in Nuremberg, Germany, Schneider Electric showcased the latest products and solutions integrated with advanced processors from Hailo Technologies, and shared how to use multi-carrier machine applications, robotics and AI technologies, etc. The fast and efficient execution of the picking operation of the circuit board chip provides innovative thinking and technical direction for the integration of AI technology into industrial automation systems.
