Background
In China, recent economic growth and more open policies have led to
rapidly increasing levels of urbanization. At the end of 2017, approximately
60% of the total population resided in urban areas. This mass urbanization
has led to numerous problems in terms of transport, social security, energy
consumption, and the environment. To address these challenges, Beijing
city officials needed an intelligent IoT solution for conducting real-time
monitoring of local conditions, such as air quality, road traffic, and video
surveillance data. The collected data would be then used for subsequent
analysis to provide actionable feedback and insights for optimizing the
city’s smart capabilities.

Background
Vehicle safety monitoring systems automatically identify faulty moving parts, and are
essential for the safe operation of trucks, vehicles, and trains. Faced with mounting
problems stemming from overloaded passenger trains and freight traffic, a Chinese
state railway operator decided to take urgent action. A system was needed that
could perform real time advanced data analysis and diagnosis with communication
technologies that detected over stressed parts on trains while they were moving.
The vehicle safety monitoring system included the following: Train Hotbox Detection
System (THDS), Trackside Acoustic Detector System (TADS), Train Braking
Performance Detection System (TBDS), Truck Performance Detection System
(TPDS), and Trouble of Moving Freight Car Detection System (TFDS).

Background
Cameras are used in railway stations for monitoring passengers to keep
passenger safe and to protect secure areas. If an emergency occurs,
station operators need to identify incidents and take action immediately.
However, traditional video surveillance systems suffer from relatively low
quality video and accurate analytics. It takes too much time and effort for
station operators to recognize and acknowledge false alarms. By using
AI trained models, passengers can be easily detected and tracked, and
most false alarms caused by non-human artifacts and objects can be
distinguished and eliminated from the data. AI can raise video detection
accuracy and improves passenger safety.

System Description
The AI video detector took advantage of deep learning technology to not only detect but also recognize objects precisely. An edge AI
system with GPU cards required high computational complexity. MIC-7700 was used to grab four video streams from four IP cameras and
recognize objects based on AI inference. It can work flexibly with MIC-7000 i-Modules series to support a variety of NVIDIA GPU cards and
railway operators can choose appropriate system combinations to meet their needs. In the central control room, the AI inference server

Background
Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems perform visual
inspections of printed circuit boards (PCB) during manufacturing in
which a camera is used to scan the board in extremely fine detail
to check for any defects or failures. AOI is the integration of optics,
mechanics, electronic control, and software to replace the human
eye. In the real world, PCBs are getting smaller and more complex;
even a relatively simple board can be made up of literally thousands
of soldered components. AOI monitors the quality of PCB production
and corrects them in the process flow, which is a key to success in
today's competitive PCB production environment.
System Description
Because of technological improvements, AOI systems can now very accurately detect defects with only a small number of failures. The

Background
As we enter the 5G era, the convergence of IT with communications and
operations technology will happen at an accelerated pace. Cross-industry
experts agree that an increasing number of services will be pushed from
the cloud to the edge of the network where data processing can ensure
better response times and higher reliability. The new paradigm is the shift
of billions of IoT and mobile devices from a principally data consumer
role to one of producer or consumer, resulting in bottlenecks on backhaul
networks and increased latency between edge devices and cloud data
centers. Edge computing must be able to connect to a mix of on-premises,
private clouds, and third party public cloud services, whilst enabling
distributed cloud capabilities to cater for future needs.

Background
Enterprises believe simulation and modeling, artificial intelligence (AI), and big data
analytics can help them achieve breakthrough discoveries and innovation. Enterprises
increasingly seek a new approach to deliver the compute infrastructure needed by AI
workloads, with high levels of performance and cost-effectiveness, without adding the
complexity of managing separate, dedicated systems. However, this is not a simple task
as Big Data Analytics and High-performance computing (HPC) utilize different runtimes,
resource managers, and application environments. Also with limited commercial support
for AI and HPC, the seamless coexistence of these two vital technologies presents a huge
challenge for the convergence of AI in HPC.

Background
Communications service providers (CoSPs) are seeking to change the economics
and service deployment agility of their networks by embracing network functions
virtualization (NFV)-based services. This network revolution provides the agility
and flexibility to support new high-bandwidth applications like 5G and new high
device-count services such as the Internet of Things. NFV replaces fixed-function
appliances with virtual network functions (VNFs) that run on general-purpose Intel®
architecture-based servers. With an NFV server in place, a CoSP can remotely turn
up or turn down services in a very short time. Networks can be lower cost through
the general-purpose nature of the server as well as the ability to use the server for
multiple services.
