EVENTS
Qualcomm IoT Partner & Tech Days - Taipei and Taiwan, September 2024
Starting in Taipei, Taiwan then heading over to Shenzhen, China, members of the Foundries.io team showcased our FoundriesFactory platform as part of the Qualcomm’s APAC IoT Partner & Tech Days. George Grey and Sven Golda included a live demo of our FoundriesFactory SaaS platform managing a micro-fleet of Qualcomm RB3Gen2 development boards during their stage presentation; they also participated in the exhibition and networking area of the events.?
The demo performed over-the-air container updates of the fleet with different applications, switching between a Wayland display, an AI parallel inference live camera application, and a video wall application, all operated seamlessly from the cloud.
We were delighted to join forces at these events, embracing Foundries.io and Qualcomm's transformative journey and our joint focus on an open-source, developer-first approach.
