Applications
Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 leverages connectivity and autonomous operation to create robust industrial IoT applications. Intel® FPGA and SoC FPGA industrial automation solutions enable industrial system designers to reduce costs and time to market significantly for factory automation system designs.
Industrial Machine Vision
Smart vision solutions must address applications on the edge, at the fog level, and finally in the cloud. This encompasses the use of image databases created offline by deep learning algorithms as well as video analytics that must achieve high levels of accuracy and perform in real-time. Intel® FPGA and SoC FPGA solutions provide a rapid development path with the flexibility to adapt to evolving challenges and solutions for a wide range of video and intelligent vision applications.
Smart Energy
Designing smart grid automation equipment and renewable energy sources is far from simple. With a single Intel® FPGA or SoC FPGA, you can better meet evolving standards for your design while increasing performance and scalability demands for mission-critical system functions like the control loop, grid communications, network redundancy, and security.
