Barbara

Barbara, the Spanish pioneer in Edge AI platforms for grid operators, and Picsellia, the French end-to-end MLOps platform for computer vision, have joined forces to accelerate edge computer vision applications in the energy sector.

The Edge for Smart Secondary Substations (E4S) is a technical working group, made up of Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and technology partners, that promotes the creation of a secure grid architecture based on open and interoperable standards. Barbara joins the Edge for Smart Secondary Substations Alliance to endow the Digital Grid with its groundbreaking Edge AI Platform infrastructure.

According to Gartner, “The technology or service offering must be innovative, impactful and available for purchase for a Cool Vendor.” With Barbara, companies can deploy, run, and manage their models across distributed locations, as easily as in the cloud.

Joining NVIDIA Inception will provide Barbara with support for enhancing the platform’s computing performance and increase its cybersecurity levels. The program will also offer Barbara the opportunity to collaborate with industry-leading experts and other AI-driven organizations.

The two industry leaders will deploy AI to ensure private, secure, real-time digital transformation. The partnership will leverage real-time data processing and local storage to accelerate the time to market for intelligent, cyber-secure and decentralized applications for Industry 4.0.

As thousands of millions of assets are connected to the Internet the industrial world faces new challenges when it comes to connectivity and cybersecurity for real-time automation and decision making . In this talk we address the key role of an Edge Platform as a solution to overcome the Data Gravity issue of the Cloud.

Be part of MLOps at the Edge. This survey is an opportunity to be part of the 1st global MLOps report for ML/ AI teams. If you want to stay abreast of AI deployment at scale, join and take part in this survey.

Replay this webinar given by some of the top leaders in AI in Spain about the most important Machine Learning applications and how their deployment is getting closer to the source of data to ensure privacy and enable real-time decision making.

Do you want to know how you can monitor all your distributed assets and regain control over them? Join us on April 18th at 17:30 to our DEMO & BEERS together with Mytra at Advanced Factories.

Under the name SEC2GRID, Barbara together with Ingeteam, Iberdrola, Ormazabal, Arteche, PwC, Zigor ZIV, Ikerlan and the GAIA Cluster will provide cybersecurity to the electricity grid. A collaborative framework composed of competing companies that will extend to 2024 with a total investment of €6.4 million.

Barbara is currently actively participating in a series of Research and Development projects promoted by the Basque Business Development Agency (SPRI) and supported by the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF).

Under this framework of collaboration, Barbara´s cybersecurity and edge computing technology will run on Advantech devices. Likewise, Advantech will offer hardware that is pre-certified to run Barbara's secure OS, providing greater cybersecurity and usability on the installation, certification and maintenance processes of its devices.
