Numurus LLC, provider of NEPI, a full-featured operating system (OS) for industrial edge AI and robotics applications, today announced that it has joined NVIDIA Metropolis, a partner program focused on bringing a new generation of vision AI applications to market. has announced that it will participate. The program fosters a rich ecosystem and provides powerful developer tools to power vision AI applications designed to make the world’s most critical spaces and operations safer and more efficient. .
Researchers and application solution providers spend up to 40% or more of their total software budget on building and maintaining low-level software, drivers and tools. This effort is not core to most development teams, but it is an essential component of any smart systems software stack. Providers offer hard-to-find expertise, short timelines, tight budgets, and low-level, high-effort integration and maintenance of sensor drivers, control system interfaces, communication drivers, tools to manage AI at the edge, and automation. I am facing a big challenge of building software. , from. “Providers should avoid this complex and costly approach and use scalable methods to meet and scale the demands of industrial automation,” said Shanif Merchant, Chief Product Officer of Numurus. said.
Numurus addresses these challenges by providing the NEPI OS platform, off-the-shelf edge computing hardware, and engineering services. NEPI is a commercial, open-source platform with plug-and-play abstracted sensor and communication drivers, backseat robot and manipulator interfaces, drag-and-drop AI and automation tools, and local and remote system and data management solutions. It is a turnkey OS that reduces costs and simplifies smart system development.
NVIDIA Metropolis enables enterprises, governments and integration partners to easily and cost-effectively use world-class AI-enabled solutions to improve critical operational efficiency and safety issues. The NVIDIA Metropolis ecosystem includes a large and broad membership that invests in cutting-edge AI technologies, the most efficient deployment platforms, and uses an enterprise-class approach to solutions. Members get early access to NVIDIA platform updates to further enhance and accelerate their AI application development efforts.
Additionally, the program offers members the opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading experts and other AI-driven organizations.
Numurus incorporates NVIDIA CUDA-X software libraries, JetPack development environment, Nsight developer tools, and Jetson system-on-modules into its product line.
Going forward, integration with the NVIDIA TAO Toolkit and DeepStream SDK will enable developers to build AI models and manage datasets even faster.
