Ekkono Synthesis: Federated Learning for the Industrial IoT

Introduction

Ekkono is developing a unique product: Edge Intelligence, an Edge Machine Learning framework that conducts learning on super-small, sensor-sized devices, enabling a transition from ‘connected’ to ‘smart’.

Background

It is based on over 7 years of university research and is materially different from other AI solutions that either run in the cloud or can only perform inference onboard of connected things (IoT).

Product Features

Our product trains an individual model on each unit it runs on, learning how, where, and for what the unit is used—enabling per-device maintenance, performance, and optimization.

Market Focus

We are pioneering Edge AI in the emerging Industrial IoT 2.0, specializing in the European industrial manufacturing and automotive sectors.

Ambition

Our ambition is to disrupt the market with our Federated Learning solution, called Synthesis, where individual device models are:

1. Collected
2. Compared
3. Correlated
4. Combined into supermodels

This enables the next-gen sustainability leap and new service-centric business models for product OEMs.
