AIoT hardware (& physical product components)
AIoT hardware includes all the physical components required to build an AIoT product or retrofit solution. For the retrofit solution, this will usually include sensors, as well as edge and cloud (or on-premise) compute resources. Most retrofit solutions will not include actuators. However, they will often require specialized hardware for AI inferencing and AI training.
Products, on the other hand, must not only provide the IT-related hardware plus sensors, actuators and AI compute resources, but also all the mechanical components for the product, as well as the product chassis, body and housing.
This means that the hardware for an AIoT product will not only require the edge/cloud/AI perspective, but also the physical product engineering perspective. This will include mechatronics, a discipline combining mechanical systems, electronic systems, control systems and computers. The concepts developed for Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) will also be relevant here.
The following will look at both, the AIoT product and retrofit solution perspective, before discussing details of the hardware requirements and options for edge/cloud/AI.
