Ekkono Synthesis: Federated Learning for the Industrial IoT

Project description

The solution to edge intelligence and beyond

The increasing complexity of the Industrial IoT 2.0 demands smarter, more efficient solutions. Current AI systems either rely on resource-heavy cloud processing or limited onboard inference, hindering the transition from ‘connected’ to ‘smart.’ In this context, the EIC-funded Ekkono FLIIoT project is developing Edge Intelligence, an edge machine learning framework that performs learning on super-small, sensor-sized devices. Their unique product trains individual models on each unit, enabling per-device maintenance and optimisation. Furthermore, their federated learning solution, Synthesis, combines device models into supermodels, ushering in a new era of service-centric business models for product original equipment manufacturers in the European industrial manufacturing and automotive sectors. Ekkono FLIIoT is set to disrupt the market and pave the way for a smarter future.

Objective

Ekkono is developing a unique product: Edge Intelligence, an Edge Machine Learning framework that conducts learning on super-small, sensor-sized devices, enabling a transition from ‘connected’ to ‘smart’. It is based on over 7 years of university research, and is materially different from other AI solutions that either run in the cloud or can only perform inference onboard of connected things (IoT). Our product trains an individual model on each unit it runs on, learning how, where and for what the unit is used—enabling per-device maintenance, performance & optimization.
We are pioneering Edge AI in the emerging Industrial IoT 2.0 specializing in the European industrial manufacturing & automotive sectors.
Our ambition is to disrupt the market with our Federated Learning solution, called Synthesis, where individual device models are collected, compared, correlated & combined into supermodels, enabling next-gen sustainability leap & new service-centric business models for product OEMs.
