At Sensors Converge, head on over to Headless IoT Intelligence

Texas-based Azilen Technologies will demonstrate its Headless IoT Intelligence Stack at Sensors Converge next week in a system designed to connect sensing, data and agent actions into a unified architecture.

The concept of “headless” means it can operate with minimal dependence on humans, and of course Azilen is hoping that visitors to Sensors will head on over (see what we did there?) to Azilen’s booth #1152 to learn more.  It will apparently be the first public live demonstrations of the tech. Sensors Converge runs May 5-7 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Registration is available online. 

“With Headless IoT, we enable system to take ownership of monitoring and routine decisions with speed, consistency and control,” said Azilen’s Taka Joshi, vice president of sales, in a statement released Wednesday.

Azilen is hoping to use the platform to replace continuous human oversight of the large volumes of data generated by sensors on a continuous basis in industrial and connected settings. Headless IoT “allows systems to monitor environments, analyze incoming data and execute actions on defined logic and systems intelligence,” the company said. Humans are then left to primarily focus on exceptions in data and higher-level control.

The philosophy behind Headless IoT Intelligence may strike a chord with the many developers working on IoT who have complained about how well software in a connected system operates – or doesn’t operate.  The tech industry has a magnitude of sensor-driven hardware, much of it on display at Sensors Converge, but engineers are in constant need of ways to analyze it effectively to make decisions.  AI models also came under fire from developers in a recent Edge AI survey.

Pricing for the platform was not announced but Azilen is an enterprise AI development services company where price usually depends on the complexity of integrating software with existing hardware. 

Azilen faces potential competition for the Headless product, but not directly for all the parts that Azilen says the platform will provide. Several companies offer build and manage services such as Apexon, 2Base Technologies, AlphaBOLD and Cognizant. And for autonomous decision-making, competitors potentially include AWS IoT Greengrass, Particle, Azure IoT Edge and Edge Impulse, which enables TinyML models to power intelligence.  Other AI development companies in the market include DataRobot, Determined AI and Skaled.  The market is potentially crowded.
