AIoTHub (formerly IoT North) Community meetup are pleased to present Bart Schouw and Dr. Kanishk Chaturvedi in "From Sensor to Insight: Building Real-World AIoT with Cumulocity"

Abstract:
From Sensor to Insight: Building Real-World AIoT with Cumulocity
Edge AI keeps getting talked about — but what does it actually look like when it's running on real hardware, in real time, on your factory floor or in the field?

Join Bart Schouw and Kanishk Chaturvedi from Cumulocity for a hands-on session unpacking how they're turning edge AI from concept into production reality. In 30 minutes (plus 15 for your questions), they'll take you through:
Why the "boring" infrastructure matters — how open-source thin-edge.io solves the unglamorous but critical problem of deploying and managing AI models on thousands of devices, not just one prototype
Vision AI on the edge — a demonstration of Sony's IMX500 intelligent sensor running AI inference directly on the chip, with edge post processing results flowing straight into Cumulocity — no cloud round-trip, no raw video leaving the device
Beyond vision — how the same pipeline generalizes to any AI model via ONNX, so the story isn't "one clever camera trick," it's a repeatable path from trained model to deployed edge AI
Try it yourself — the exact open-source starting points to get your own edge AI experiment running with Cumulocity and thin-edge.io this week
Expect demos, practical detail, and plenty of time to ask the questions that actually matter to your own use case.
