Variscite, a prominent designer and manufacturer of System on Modules (SoMs) worldwide, has announced a new partnership with Peridio, a specialist in edge AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) development. This collaboration is set to enhance the development of edge AI/ML applications for Variscite’s customers, facilitating the launch of smart solutions while reducing development challenges and risks.
Peridio provides a robust platform for developing, deploying, and managing edge applications, particularly in the AIoT realm. Variscite customers will gain access to Peridio’s suite of development tools, workflows, and features designed to streamline the creation and management of edge AI applications. The platform also supports secure, bandwidth-optimized over-the-air updates, remote monitoring of system performance, and strategic rollout planning for maintaining and updating AI/ML models and software.
This partnership not only accelerates time-to-market but also promotes seamless collaboration among team members. Additionally, Peridio’s integration teams offer specialized knowledge in developing innovative AI-enabled solutions. The extensive network of AI partners that Peridio brings will provide Variscite customers with additional resources, products, tools, and expertise to enhance their AI-embedded products.
Peridio’s platform is compatible with all Variscite products featuring integrated NPUs, including the DART-MX95, VAR-SOM-MX93, DART-MX93, VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUS, and DART-MX8M-PLUS. These SoMs are pin2pin compatible within two families—DART and VAR-SOM—simplifying processor transitions, enhancing scalability, and offering extended product longevity, faster development, lower costs, and reduced risk.
As part of the agreement, Peridio will offer priority support to Variscite customers.
“The Edge AI market is advancing rapidly, and companies seeking to lead are looking for ways to streamline development while staying ahead of the competition,” said Justin Schneck, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Peridio. “Variscite’s hardware with integrated NPUs is at the forefront of AIoT readiness, and our platform enhances the ability to quickly implement and manage machine learning applications. This partnership provides a comprehensive solution, giving edge AI companies a competitive edge.”
Tal Semo, Managing Director of Sales and Marketing for the Americas at Variscite, added, “Peridio’s platform, workflows, and expertise significantly reduce the time-to-market for launching AIoT applications on Variscite’s i.MX product lines. We look forward to integrating Peridio into our technology ecosystem and demonstrating our joint capabilities at the upcoming Open Source Summit Europe.”
Peridio will showcase its real-time EEG brainwave classification system, which illustrates the transformative potential of edge AI in healthcare and neuroscience. This prototype, utilizing research-grade sensors from OpenBCI and running on Variscite’s VAR-SOM-MX93, analyzes brain activity and processes complex neurological data in real-time. The system’s advanced visual pattern recognition capabilities can identify specific shapes perceived by a patient’s eyes, demonstrating its potential for digital therapeutics, clinical trials, and other neurotechnology applications.
The brainwave AI demo by Peridio will be featured in booth B2 at the Open Source Summit Europe, taking place September 16-18 in Vienna, Austria. Variscite will be a bronze sponsor at the event, located in booth B18.
