HOW AIOT AND EDGE INTELLIGENCE POWERING THE NEXT TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION

The advent of the Internet of Things is already changing people’s daily lives, and its integration with artificial intelligence gives rise to a completely new technology landscape, Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). The convergence of both technologies is set to redefine the future of industrial automation and lead the Industry 4.0 revolution. Conversely, the increasing use of connected devices generates a tremendous amount of data that requires processing to extract meaningful insights. Thus, the new level of processing power at the Edge offers near real-time insight from data collected, assisting in making data-driven decisions by sending that data back and forth to the servers and other smart computing processes.The latest evolution of intelligent edge applications promises real-time insights by assessing data at the edge itself. Edge Intelligence allows data processing for decisions to be made locally, without sending back to the cloud.AI on the network edge identifies and reports on occurrences detected by sensors and results in real-time analytics, fully deployed intelligence, integration of AI technologies, and completion of the lifecycle. Since AIoT devices are constantly producing data, analytics should be implemented in distinct ways to get the best possible outcomes.The advancements in AI also provides a great improvement in handling decision making at the edge. With intelligence at the edge, decentralized nodes of a system are empowered to perform different kinds of data handling that may have traditionally been handled at a central point in a system. At the edge, the edge network components or nodes can process the data intelligently, possibly bundling, refining or encrypting it for sending into the data warehouse, which will enhance the agility of data-handling systems, as well as enable their safety.

And, at the start of this year, was named to the Built In 2024 Best Places To Work Award in San Francisco – Best Startups to Work For, recognizing the company's commitment to fostering a positive work environment, remote and flexible work opportunities, and programs for diversity, equity, and inclusion. Today, the company received the BigDATAwire Readers/Editors Choice Award – Big Data and AI Startup, which recognizes companies and products that have made a difference. Other key milestones in 2023 include the following. Availability of more than 350 data connectors, making Airbyte the platform with the most connectors in the industry. The company aims to increase that to 500 high-quality connectors supported by the end of this year. More than 2,000 custom connectors were created with the Airbyte No-Code Connector Builder, which enables data connectors to be made in minutes. Significant performance improvement with database replication speed increased by 10 times to support larger datasets. Added support for five vector databases, in addition to unstructured data sources, as the first company to build a bridge between data movement platforms and artificial intelligence (AI). Looking ahead, Airbyte will introduce data lakehouse destinations, as well as a new Publish feature to push data to API destinations. About Airbyte Airbyte is the open-source data movement infrastructure leader running in the safety of your cloud and syncing data from applications, APIs, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations.
