Four benefits driving AI and
computer vision adoption
The worldwide amount of data collected by IoT devices is quickly climbing to more than 79 zettabytes by 2025,1
with one zettabyte equaling 1 billion terabytes. But raw data needs analysis or context to effectively guide either
automated or human decisions and actions.

AI-driven data analytics and machine learning algorithms can rapidly and accurately make sense out of
voluminous data points and map out trends. They also can learn how to identify deviations in data, sounds,
or images that could be missed even if the data were scrutinized manually in painstaking fashion. And as the
technology becomes more affordable, enterprises are embracing these devices and solutions that can easily
collect and process images, audio, and data.

3 Accelerate development and time to deployment
More powerful processors, sophisticated IoT vision and acoustic devices, and AI work in ways that
automate problem-solving. These technologies can assist employees in a variety of environments to
improve productivity or deliver better service to customers. As IoT devices advance and become more essential in
a more connected world, technology providers are focused on keeping them from becoming dizzyingly complex.

Intel and Microsoft, for example, are both encouraging developers to design IoT Plug and Play compatible
devices and offer toolkits, such as the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit, that connect quickly and speed
up deployment of sophisticated capabilities. This allows technicians or other employees without deep coding
experience to deploy devices and applications, in addition to making devices and systems more understandable to
those who use them.

4 Achievable tangible return on investment

The power of advanced technologies to collect multimedia data and extract detailed insights has the
potential to create faster returns on investment in IoT solutions. Companies using AI as a component of IoT
have fewer projects in the learn phase and more projects in the purchase phase compared to surveyed companies
who aren’t using AI in a solution, according to Microsoft IoT Signals Report.

Ninety-six percent of those companies integrating AI also indicate overall satisfaction with IoT technology, compared
to 87% among IoT adopters. They’re also more likely to view IoT as critical to the success of their business— leading
to more IoT investment and use—than overall IoT customers (95% vs. 82%).

Examples of ROI from AI

Because of the power of AI-powered data analytics to create understandable insights out of large amounts of data,
it is boosting productivity and value across industries.

Some real-world examples and potential savings from using AI applications:

• Using an AI-automated energy management solution in commercial buildings showed savings of 10% to 20%
in energy costs. 5
• A European automaker built a “fully digitized” factory and significantly reduced manufacturing time while
boosting productivity by 10%.6
• Intel reduced downtime of its fan filter units in semiconductor production plants by 300% after deploying
industrial IoT sensors and edge computing to monitor and predict maintenance for the equipment. 7
• DC Water streamlined sewer pipe inspections with an AI-powered video analysis solution that reduces pipe
scanning cost by 75% and can create an ROI of 350% over three years.8

Industry scenarios powered by AI and
computer vision
From streamlining urban commuting to creating manufacturing lines that adjust more easily to changing conditions,
the responsible use of AI and computer vision in IoT solutions already is enabling innovative use cases that span
smart spaces, transportations systems, manufacturing, retail spaces, and healthcare.

“Speed and agility are critical to any manufacturer. Having the ability to capture real-
time data streams and apply analytics as close as possible to the manufacturing
operations—i.e., an intelligent edge—empowers manufacturers to be able to respond
to live operational events with actionable and optimized insights. This continual digital
feedback, from the edge to the cloud, gives any business deeper and real-time insights
into their operations, product development, and product usage.”
– Çağlayan Arkan
VP of Manufacturing Industry at Microsoft

Predictive Maintenance

Predictive maintenance incorporates machine learning software that analyzes data to predict outcomes and
automate actions. Predictive capabilities allow service providers to move beyond the traditional reactive and
scheduled maintenance business model to using data and analysis to identify issues before they become critical,
allowing technicians to intervene before customers even realize there’s a problem.

Enabling safer spaces and faster transportation
Computer vision and AI technology could routinely guide autonomous vehicles one day, but they’re already
improving commuting and traffic. Driven by Intel and Microsoft Azure technology and services, Hitachi Smart Spaces
enabled by Lumada Video Insights are some of several smart transportation solutions that analyze and optimize
transit flows and safety for customers like RTC Southern Nevada, while improving security in stations and other
public spaces.

Other smart transportation and smart city uses are numerous, especially as many municipalities already have street-
level camera networks. The Innodep Vurix platform, as one example, integrates input from up to 10,000 cameras
with help from an Azure-based video management system and Intel processors. When used with AI technology, it is

Elevating manufacturing quality and safety

In the manufacturing and industrial sphere, vision and AI applications are ensuring the build quality of vehicles and
keeping employees safe in the workplace. Intel AI and vision technology is central to the ADLINK arc-welding defect
detection solution, which checks welds on John Deere production lines. The solution automatically detects cavities
in the weld metal caused by trapped gas bubbles, stops the welding process, and allows for the weld to be fixed
in real time to keep up Deere’s consistency in build quality. Intel edge processors similarly are used to help Audi
automatically inspect vehicle welds. The solution takes data from welding-gun controllers and analyzes it at the edge.
In addition to improving quality control accuracy, the solution has reduced inspection-related labor costs by 30-50%9

Anheuser-Busch InBev, the Belgium-based global brewing business, is harnessing Microsoft Azure AI services to track
bottles of its products from their origins in wheat and barley fields all the way through manufacturing,

distribution, and sale promotion. To do that, the company has created a complete digital twin of its breweries and
supply chain to track and make adjustments when needed to their operations. Through the use of mixed reality with the
digital twin, employees can even remotely assist different locations.

Meanwhile, Linker Vision AI, powered by Azure Stack Edge and Intel® Xeon® processors, utilizes video cameras and
intelligent auto-labeling algorithms to protect workers in hazardous job sites. The system can detect whether people
are wearing the correct protective equipment, following standard procedures, or entering restricted or dangerous areas
of a workplace. When an incident occurs, it automatically alerts on-site supervisors.

Linker Networks has developed an AI-powered

worker safety system that helps prevent workplace
injury 24/7. Tasks that have traditionally required
hours of labor-intensive, in-person inspection and
supervision can now be automated using Linker’s
ready-to-adopt system, which integrates AI,
machine learning, and the intelligent cloud. Built
on Microsoft’s Azure Stack Edge and powered
by Intel technology, the system is pre-trained for
manufacturing and heavy industries such as oil
and gas, mining, and construction.

Remote Monitoring 77
Creating better retail experiences and inventory management
In the retail sector, advanced technologies are managing inventory levels and ordering tasks in the back of
stores, but they also can create detailed insights into customer behavior to increase sales per square foot.
The WonderStore solution, which uses Intel hardware and Azure IoT, combines advanced vision and machine
learning to analyze in-store information on customer demographics, mood, time spent browsing, fashion choices,
and buying habits. One store saw a 16% increase in shop window conversion for existing customers by better
targeting suggested merchandise. The Sensormatic IQ solution tracks and analyzes foot traffic and other factors in
retail spaces to help optimize staffing levels, inventory, and more.

Improving diagnoses and prescription accuracy for patients

Similar to the use of AI and vision in medical imaging, Intel edge AI and vision can automate fetal measurements and
monitor the progression of labor in real time during the birthing process without the need for invasive manual exams.10
Beyond medical image and measurement analysis, advanced IoT technologies and edge computing are enabling
wearable devices for patients that can track vital signs in detail or allow for remote care from home.

Additionally, predictive analytics can help hospitals accurately forecast patients’ length of stay and re-admission
rates based on their conditions. Having that information can reduce operational experiences, tailor care for better
patient outcomes, and potentially avoid penalties. The same vision and edge AI technology that can monitor retail
inventory powers the StockView for Healthcare solution, which uses Intel and Microsoft Azure services to automate the
management of medical supply closets and predict which supplies and medicines are likely to run out first.

GE Healthcare’s Carestation Insights is a suite

of cloud-based applications built on Microsoft

 Considerations when choosing AI
and vision solutions
Choosing, building, and deploying the right advanced technologies for your desired business outcome isn’t easy.
Among the considerations that can guide what technology you use when selecting advanced IoT capabilities:

• What type of devices and how many will your solution include? Handling video streams or countless still
images from a number of vision devices requires high-performance processors and vision processing units to avoid
slowdowns.

• What are your needs for edge processing and storage versus cloud processing and storage? If real-time
analysis without latency or on-site storage of images and data are crucial, then having AI-capable processors and
high-capacity storage at the edge is necessary. Alternatively, hybrid solutions that process images and data at the
edge and then store them in the cloud provide flexibility.

• How scalable does your solution need to be? If you plan to expand your IoT use or your business, does the
technology you’re considering easily allow for growth? The answer to this also can guide your choices between
on-site edge hardware, cloud-based services, or both.

• What is your deployment timeline and technical expertise? If you have knowledgeable technical employees
with IoT experience and a long timeline, you’re in a good position to design your own solution and choose the
right technology. If that’s not the case, Intel and Microsoft offer pre-built cloud service applications and many tools
and templates to create targeted solutions that use advanced technologies without requiring significant technical
knowledge.
