FactoryPulse—Industrial Automation and Edge AI | Powered by Qt
Built in partnership with Qualcomm and Edge Impulse, Qt Group's FactoryPulse Solution showcases how to leverage advanced graphics, edge AI, and connectivity as the foundation of modern, high-production industrial manufacturing.
High-Compute
Industrial Hardware
The Dragonwing IQS Series provides our solution with high-compute, power-efficient performance. Capable of handling heavy workloads in extreme environments, it executes demanding industrial applications with safety built in and flexibility in design.
Industry-Grade
Al Models
With visual tools for designing AI pipelines, annotating samples, deploying models across platforms, and optimizing on-device performance, Edge Impulse brings intelligence to our edge devices, helping make our factory more productive and safer.
Edge AI to Increase Productivity and Safety
Easily deploy AI onto the factory floor with Qt Edge AI, enabling platform abstraction and easy integration of models and inference pipelines. Use cases include:
-
Defect detection for performance monitoring
-
Personal Protective Equipment detection for worker safety
- Facial recognition for security
- Predictive Maintenance for process optimization
Real-Time Insight over Decentralized Processes
Leverage Qt Framework’s ready-made support for connectivity and machine-to-machine interaction for easy accessibility across devices, apps, SCADA systems.
- Instant notifications across devices, sites, and facilities
- Remote data access and control
- Portability across devices, companion apps, headless devices
Advanced Graphics to Monitor Your Factory at Scale
