The last 365 days have been another remarkable chapter of innovation, growth, and collective success at Barbara. As 2024 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to express our gratitude to everyone who has been part of Barbara’s incredible journey this year.

Led by Iberdrola, the IA4TES project has successfully completed its three-year initiative (2022–2024), focusing on leveraging Artificial Intelligence to advance renewable energy generation, optimize distribution networks, and enhance customer-level operations. Barbara played a pivotal role by developing industrial edge software to deploy and orchestrate AI at the Edge, enabling smarter, more efficient energy solutions.

Computer Vision is experiencing unprecedented growth at the edge, driven by the demand for real-time data processing, enhanced privacy, and operational efficiency. This article delves into deploying a comprehensive Computer Vision solution using Barbara Edge Platform, focusing on the integration of Barbara Video Tools and the cutting-edge Ultralytics YOLOv8 application.

This post delves into how Barbara 's MLOps capabilities make deploying AI models like ResNet18 to edge devices effortless and remote, all managed seamlessly through a single, intuitive console. Discover more.

In this live webinar, we dive into ACCIONA’s Smart Plant use case, demonstrating how Schneider’s SoftdPAC can be seamlessly deployed across multiple industrial PCs, regardless of the hardware manufacturer, all managed remotely from a centralized platform developed by Barbara.

One of the key goals of the Barbara platform is to support data scientists and AI engineers in deploying their algorithms with minimal friction. In line with this, our latest release, version 2.8.0, introduces several new features, including support for additional development frameworks like ONNX and Pytorch, as well as GPU support, among others. However, these are just a few of the enhancements in the 2.8.0 release. Let’s take a closer look at all the updates.
