Computing at the edge of the network instead of transferring data to the cloud for processing can greatly improve efficiency, improve data security and reduce energy consumption. This is especially true for industrial Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications where embedding some processing capability, i.e. "intelligence", is very beneficial, but impossible with conventional transistor technology due to high temperatures or radiation levels, or both, at the sensing sites.
In the i-EDGE project a research team consisting of Microchip Technology Inc. (UK and France), a leading provider of smart, connected and secure embedded control solutions, the University of Bristol (UK), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH, Sweden), Technical University of Vienna (TUWIEN, Austria), Gesellschaft für Angewandte Mikro und Optoelektronik mbH (AMO, Germany), the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology SA (CSEM, Switzerland) and SCIPROM Sàrl (SCIPROM, Switzerland) will build processo
Building on a technology platform developed in the ZeroAMP project https://www.zeroamp.eu/ funded by the European Horizon 2020 programme, the consortium in the i-EDGE project will exploit the unique properties of nanomechanical switches to build "systems-on-chip" where sensors, the interface to the sensors, the processor, and electronic memory for data storage are densely integrated on the same chip.
