AI on the Edge: Powering Tomorrow‘s Smart Devices

As Schaeffler continues to digitize its product portfolio, the demand for efficient AI processing directly at the edge is rapidly increasing.

Traditional AI models consume too much power and are not scalable for battery-powered or resource-constrained smart products. Existing neuromorphic solutions and frameworks are often tailored to specific hardware and lack the flexibility needed for broad industrial applications.

  • Low-Power Edge AI — SNN Frameworks for Smarter Products

    We are seeking scalable SNN frameworks and neuromorphic solutions that enable energy-efficient AI processing at the edge. Let’s co-develop smart products that are intelligent, power-efficient, and ready for industrial applications.

    Challenge Areas

    • How can we implement hardware-agnostic SNN frameworks that scale across multiple neuromorphic platforms?
    • How can we minimize power consumption while ensuring reliable AI inference in real-world industrial environments?

    Key Criteria:

    • Flexibility for different hardware architectures and chipsets.
    • Ability to prototype quickly on commercially available neuromorphic hardware.
    • Solution is scalable and adaptable to multiple Schaeffler smart products and use cases.

    The Perfect Fit:

    A startup providing a working SNN prototype running on off-the-shelf neuromorphic hardware, with a roadmap to support various hardware platforms and industrial-grade applications.
