How Artificial Intelligence, Edge Computing, and Low-Power Design are Reshaping Connected Systems in the age of IOT
Avalue Technology Inc., a global leader in industrial computing solutions, notes that the global Internet of Things (IoT) landscape is rapidly evolving from the conceptual stage to large-scale deployment. In 2024, the number of IoT devices increased to 18.8 billion, a 13% year-over-year increase. This growth is generating an unprecedented volume of sensor data.
As industries such as manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, retail, and public infrastructure adopt IoT technologies, the demand for real-time computing, data integration, and flexible system architectures continues to grow. Avalue believes that the IoT is transitioning from simple connectivity to intelligent, data-driven operations. As a result, the technology is entering a phase of accelerated development.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become key to unlocking the value of the IoT. By analyzing data collected from distributed devices, AI enhances the accuracy of anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and decision-making. Therefore, it prevents resource waste and improves operational efficiency.
In smart city environments, encompassing areas such as energy management, video analytics, and public safety, Avalue’s AIB-3588 ARM-based system provides high performance and scalability for device-side processing. Consequently, it enables cities to operate more intelligently and efficiently.
Edge computing is emerging as a critical enabler for the next phase of IoT development. By processing data directly at the data source, edge systems reduce the latency, bandwidth usage, and security risks associated with relying on cloud architectures. Additionally, Avalue’s ACS10-TGU offers robust edge computing performance. It is suitable for industrial monitoring, environmental sensing, and real-time video analytics.
Meanwhile, sensor technology is continuously evolving, capturing not only temperature and humidity measurements but also atmospheric pressure, biological signals, and magnetic field changes. Compact solutions like the EZX-EHLP embedded motherboard enable businesses to deploy a large number of front-end devices with greater flexibility.
Advances in connectivity technologies will further drive IoT development. With global 5G coverage expected to reach 85% by 2030, low-latency and high-bandwidth networks will create new opportunities for IoT expansion. Avalue’s ACP-Q6490 ARM-based single-board computer (SBC) provides the processing power needed to leverage next-generation connectivity technologies. Simultaneously, the decentralization of the IoT is driving rapid changes in cybersecurity, data privacy, and sustainability regulations.
Avalue emphasizes that future-proof IoT solutions must balance computing power, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Avalue offers a comprehensive portfolio of IoT, AI, and ARM-based edge computing solutions designed to support the next wave of technological transformation. Focused on efficiency, flexibility, and low power consumption, Avalue empowers various industries to accelerate their digital transformation and build resilient, intelligent, and sustainable IoT ecosystems.
