July 14, 2020 – ForwardX Robotics announced it has joined Intel IoT Solutions Alliance as an Intel IoT Market Ready Solutions (IMRS) partner. The partnership reinforces ForwardX’s ability to address customer pain points and deliver solutions across increasingly competitive industries. Intel’s IoT Solutions Alliance is one of six partnership programs currently offered and consists of a network of global partners and members working together to accelerate IoT adoption across a wide range of industries. Intel forecasts 55% of all data will be generated by IoT by 2025 and 43% of AI tasks will happen on edge devices by 2023.
Given the disruptive potential of IoT, Intel’s IoT Solutions Alliance offers companies an abundance of scalable, interoperable solutions in order to accelerate the deployment of intelligent devices and end-to-end analytics. According to Intel’s website, the IoT Solutions Alliance aims to “enable a more intelligent Internet of Things (IoT), supporting enterprises that are moving to the edge so they can capture more data, analyze it faster, and act on it sooner.” While Intel’s IoT Solutions Alliance contains more than 6000 solutions, only 135 have been recognized as IoT Market Ready Solutions; solutions granted this status must clearly demonstrate scalability, adaptability, and immediate implementation opportunities across multiple industries.
With the partnership now formalized, ForwardX will work with Intel on initiatives as well as the continued delivery of cutting-edge robotics solutions to logistics and manufacturing functions across electronics, automotive, general merchandise, and apparel industries. ForwardX’s FLEX and MAX solutions utilize 8th Generation Intel Core i7 Processors for onboard processing as well as Intel’s RealSense technology as part of the perception capabilities of ForwardX’s visual Autonomous Mobile Robots.
