Dell, Hyundai AutoEver and Intel team up for AI edge ecosystem expansion

Dell Technologies has teamed up with with Hyundai AutoEver, a subsidiary of Hyundai, and Intel to make it easier for manufacturers to integrate “edge data” using AI.

Under this expansion, Dell Validated Design for Manufacturing Edge will integrate with Hyundai AutoEver’s NeoFactory IoT software to help manufacturers easily adopt AI-enhanced operations in their factories.

“Imagine you’re a plant manager of a factory,” wrote Dell VP Engineering Technology and Edge Product Manager and Customer Operations, Pierluca Chiodelli in a blog post. “Think of all the points in the factory that generate data. Machinery status and part production, cameras on the assembly line monitoring processes and safety, packaging and logistics…”

With this update, he promises: “Manufacturers can analyse this vast amount of data created at the edge in real-time to make critical decisions and drive better business outcomes.”

Specifically, plant managers will be able to quickly monitor equipment performance, detect anomalies and use predictive maintenance to reduce downtime, increase productivity and eliminate costly process waste.

“In collaboration with Dell Technologies, Hyundai AutoEver’s NeoFactory IoT elevates modern manufacturing by using real-time data and AI at the edge to inform decisions and drive business growth,” added the Hyundai Autoever Smart Factory team.

“Our integration with Dell NativeEdge ensures scalable, secure solutions that set a new benchmark for manufacturing excellence and digital transformation.”

Dell NativeEdge Blueprints and Intel OpenVino

Dell also announced it has introduced NativeEdge Blueprints for Intel’s OpenVino developer toolkit. The company claims the integration will provide businesses with additional flexibility and choice in how they deploy and manage AI and machine learning applications at the edge.

Chiodelli noted that as Dell expands its partner ecosystem, customers will have access to more AI-driven capabilities and choices.

“The Dell Validated Design for Manufacturing Edge supports a diverse ecosystem of partners and independent software vendors to offer manufacturers a broad choice and flexibility in how they manage the data on their factory floors,” he said.

“From expanded digital twin capabilities with XMPro, advanced quality control with AI-enabled smart cameras from Cognex and enhanced on-prem threat detection from Claroty, Dell’s ecosystem of partners continues to innovate and deliver the technologies manufacturers need to support their environments.”
