The partnership will support Variscite customers in the development of edge AI/ML applications, enabling the launch of smart solutions while helping to minimise development challenges and risks.

Peridio offers a platform for developing, deploying, and managing edge applications, particularly suited for AIoT development. Variscite customers will have access to the platform which includes Peridio’s development workflows, tools, and features to create and manage edge AI applications.

After devices are in the field, Variscite customers can then continue to use Perido for secure, bandwidth-optimised OTA updates; to remotely monitor the performance and health of deployed systems; and to schedule rollout strategies to maintain and update AI/ML models and software.

In addition to accelerating time to market, Peridio’s suite eases collaboration among internal team members and provides access to Peridio's own integration teams, who offer specialised knowledge in developing AI-enabled solutions. The company’s extensive network of partners in the AI space will also offer Variscite customers access to additional products, resources, tools, and expertise to create and enhance AI-embedded products.

Peridio’s platform can be used with all Variscite products that have integrated NPU capabilities: DART-MX95, VAR-SOM-MX93, DART-MX93, VAR-SOM-MX8M-PLUS and DART-MX8M-PLUS. These SoMs are pin2pin compatible, divided into two families; DART and VAR-SOM. The Pin2Pin families simplify processor transitions and enhance scalability, providing customers with extended product longevity, faster development, lower costs, and reduced risk.

Under the terms of the partnership, Peridio will also provide priority support to Variscite customers.

“The Edge AI market is evolving at a rapid pace, and companies aiming to lead are seeking ways to streamline development while maintaining a competitive edge. Variscite hardware with integrated NPUs lead the SoM market in being AIoT-ready, and our platform adds the ability to quickly implement and manage machine learning-based applications,” said Justin Schneck, Peridio Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. “This partnership provides an end-to-end solution and ultimately help edge AI companies gain a competitive advantage.”
