Embedded Vision & Edge AI

As supply-chain risks grow around InP and InGaAs-based materials, not every SWIR application necessarily requires an InGaAs sensor. Below 1,100 nm, silicon-based BSI CMOS can be a practical alternative in terms of cost and supply stability. This article looks at the technical boundary between InGaAs and silicon.

Starbucks pulled NomadGo’s computer-vision-based inventory management system just nine months after rollout. This case highlights the limits of marketing claims like 99% accuracy, the constraints of FOV and on-device AI, and the difficulty of simply adding vision technology onto existing store operations.

A recap of visiting Shanghai Vision China and Semicon China 2026. The shift toward edge devices by Chinese companies, the overwhelming scale of Semicon China, and the vertical integration of materials, components, and equipment made the speed—and the urgency—of Chinese manufacturing feel very real.

Dutch AI semiconductor startup Axelera AI has secured an investment of $250 million. This news goes beyond simple funding; it reaffirms the presence of European AI semiconductor startups and the growth potential of the edge semiconductor market for AI inference. I summarized why Axelera AI is gaining attention and what this investment means for the industrial AI and machine vision sectors.

The TKH Group's subsidiaries Allied Vision, Chromasens, Mikrotron, NET, and SVS-Vistek will be unified under a single 'Allied Vision' brand. The product lineup will expand from GigE/MIPI to CXP and line scan, with the core focus on providing a unified platform experience based on an integrated SDK.

The EMVA GenIcam group presented GenFeA, which makes camera integration easier in embedded and heterogeneous architectures. Let's take a look at the details and prospects.
