Through the acquisition, AI-models with increased user privacy, reduced carbon footprints, and faster response times – all developed by the Eindhoven-based company – can reach a global audience.
In a press release, Nx says that Scailable’s cutting-edge development, deployment, and management tools allow AI developers or data ops teams to seamlessly deploy AI models from the cloud to any edge hardware device, re-train them, and manage an infinite fleet of edge AI pipelines. This streamlines operations and minimizes time, effort, and cost.
By integrating Scailable’s tools as a component of the Network Optix Video Platform, Network Optix and Scailable aim to supercharge the extraction of actionable intelligence from video, turning it into a powerful data sensor accessible to anyone.
Data derived from video has become a crucial element in organizational and government operations and plays a pivotal role in data collection and automated decision-making used to optimize operational efficiency. Intelligent video has already solidified its presence in Manufacturing, Logistics, Smart City, Transportation, and Data Operations, among other industries.
Incorporating Scailable’s capabilities into the Network Optix Video Platform, Nx aims to empower developers and organizations to create and deliver customized and ever-evolving solutions with a fraction of the resources.
“We are thrilled to welcome Scailable as the new member of our Nx global family,” said Nathan Wheeler, Chairman and CEO of Network Optix. “Their disruptive edge AI management software supercharges our enterprise video platform, empowering organizations and businesses worldwide to unlock the full potential of video data to drive innovation in operational intelligence.”
Prof. Dr. Maurits Kaptein, CEO of Scailable, added, “We are excited to join forces with Network Optix, bringing the benefits of edge AI — increased user privacy, reduced carbon footprints, and faster response times — to a global stage. Together, we can ensure real-time AI-generated insights on any video stream without the heavy and costly cloud processing.”
The combined solution is expected to be available to customers in the second half of 2024.
