Unveiling the Power of Edge Data

aicas Newsletter Issue #2 2024

Dear Reader,

Why do so many OTA updates continue to fail within the automotive industry despite significant efforts? What barriers exist preventing efficient data extraction, especially with the abundance of AI tools available today? How can leveraging the right data significantly enhance for example risk management for vehicle insurances and their driving clients?

These questions underscore the critical role of data, particularly when supported by user-friendly software platforms. Those who adeptly harness and select data at the edge gain a competitive advantage. At aicas, we provide the essential technology and tools to do just that. That's why we are excited to introduce our latest solution: the aicas Edge Device Portal (EDP), designed to streamline edge data management.

Let's explore these questions further together. If you are in the automotive industry, join me and the team at AutoTech:Detroit on June 5-6. Alternatively, we are available to connect with you at various upcoming IoT expos and partner conferences.

Looking forward to engaging with you soon.
