ThunderSoft announced its edge computing based ThunderSoft® TurboX(TM)Edge Station with Intel at CES 2020. The Station is designed to shorten the development schedule and simplify the development process, aiming to bring benefits in saving cost, improving efficiency, maintaining inventory accuracy, as well as providing smarter marketing and better customer experiences. TurboX Edge Station is a robust, scalable, reliable end-to-end solution, which is based on the Intel® Visual Data Device, with ThunderSoft's optimized operating system, and integrated with Edge-X-Foundry framework. Benefiting from Intel's Open Visual Inference & Neural Network Optimization (OpenVINO™) toolkit, video real-time encoding, decoding and inference computing functions can be realized smoothly. Therefore, they can conduct real-time face recognition or data analysis at the edge to provide their customers with a structured and visual data including customer portraits, traffic statistics, and customer behavior analysis. Moreover, the solution provides a secure data storage and end-to-end security connection by utilizing ThunderSoft's comprehensive security technology. ThunderSoft has joined The Open Retail Initiative (ORI), which is a collaborative effort by Intel and top technology companies who believe that open accessible solutions will accelerate iteration, flexibility, and innovation at scale. Joining the ORI, ThunderSoft will take advantage of the ecosystem to provide more vertical solutions in retail as well as to enrich the ecosystem.
