Iftest is featured in the latest Switzerland special edition of the trade magazine elektronik industrie. In the “Focus Switzerland” section, we present modern carrier boards with edge AI and their use in high-performance embedded systems for industrial and medical applications.

Swiss Electronics Development in Transition

Electronics development in Switzerland is facing major challenges. Sluggish economic growth, increasing cost pressure and global uncertainties are putting development departments under growing strain. At the same time, the requirements for modern electronic systems continue to rise: hardware and software are becoming increasingly integrated, while topics such as edge AI, energy efficiency, functional safety and cyber security are gaining importance.

In addition, companies are confronted with a shortage of skilled professionals, shorter development cycles and intense international competition for technological leadership. Despite these conditions, Switzerland remains an important innovation hub for sophisticated embedded and electronic solutions.

Edge AI Directly on the Device

High-performance and flexibly scalable embedded systems are becoming increasingly important in industrial and medical technology. Iftest addresses this trend with modern carrier boards that serve as the foundation for advanced edge AI applications.

Intelligent algorithms are executed directly on the device itself, for example in industrial controllers, machine control systems or medical devices. A cloud connection is not necessarily required. This reduces latency, increases system reliability and ensures that sensitive data remains processed and protected locally.

This approach offers clear technological advantages, particularly in applications with high demands on real-time capability, validation and regulatory compliance.

At the core is a modular carrier board that combines high computing performance, flexible interfaces and a pluggable COM module. The platform can be adapted to a wide range of applications, supports long-term life-cycle management and provides a future-proof foundation for embedded and edge AI solutions.
