Sisense launches AI edge analytics, turning IoT devices “into supercomputers”

Business intelligence provider Sisense has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) technology that it claims turns Internet of Things (IoT) devices “into supercomputers”. According to the company, the new Sisense Hunch product represents a “new class of big data analytics” that can be applied to applications that were previously impossible on the Internet of Things, due to its latency, power, storage, and cost challenges. Using the new system, massive stores of data are transformed into “mere megabytes” allowing for “microsecond response times and the ability to be placed anywhere, even inside a tiny IoT device”, said the company today.
