Global technology provider Arrow Electronics has formed a strategic collaboration with SiMa.ai, a company specialising in software-centric, embedded Edge machine learning systems-on-chip. This partnership enables Arrow to distribute SiMa.ai products across the EMEA region.
SiMa.ai offers a versatile platform for all Edge AI needs, supporting the evolution of AI/ML projects from computer vision to transformers and multimodal generative AI. The SiMa.ai MLSoC (Machine Learning System on Chip) facilitates the full pipeline deployment of complete real-world workloads as an autonomous edge-based system, delivering high performance and power efficiency.
The MLSoC from SiMa.ai integrates seamlessly with Palette Software, enhancing compute capabilities across various sectors such as industrial manufacturing, retail, aerospace, defence, agriculture, and healthcare. It achieves this by delivering the highest frames per second per watt (FPS/W) performance in the edge AI/ML market, maximising efficiency.
Under this agreement, Arrow and SiMa.ai will jointly market SiMa.ai’s products, with Arrow acting as the exclusive distributor in the EMEA region for the SiMa.ai MLSoC, Palette Software, and Development Kits.
Margit Tischler, Vice President of Engineering in EMEA for Arrow, said: “At Arrow, we recognise the importance of artificial intelligence at the edge. SiMa.ai extends our AI line card, allowing us to offer our customers a solution tailored to their specific AI needs.”
“We are pleased to enter this distribution agreement with Arrow, which will speed access for customers throughout Europe and the Middle East to SiMa.ai’s one platform for all edge AI — and will support customers as their AI/ML journeys evolve — from computer vision to transformers to multimodal generative AI,” said Elizabeth Samara-Rubio, Chief Business Officer, SiMa.ai. “This agreement with Arrow will help SiMa.ai scale further to meet rising customer demand as organisations increasingly need a partner to help them deploy and scale AI/ML workloads at the edge.”
