Heterogeneous Range of Solutions across Industries under Xilinx's Comprehensive Umbrella
Xilinx may be the leader in scalable Industrial IoT platforms by providing heterogeneous embedded processing, I/O flexibility, hardware-based deterministic control, and comprehensive solutions for that lowest total price of ownership. Xilinx powers intelligent and adaptive assets in harsh environments over industrial lifecycles.
Some Industrial and Healthcare IoT products need all elements of the Xilinx IIoT and HcIoT Solutions Stack. The Xilinx IIoT and HcIoT Solutions Stack is comprised of optimized Xilinx and ecosystem building blocks and solutions used across Industrial and Healthcare IoT platforms.
With a Xilinx-based Industrial or Healthcare IoT system, minimize development cost and time and maximize design reuse in your next Industrial or Healthcare IoT platform by exploring the different aspects of the Xilinx IIoT and HcIoT Solutions Stack.
It would be a pleasure having a conversation with Chetan Khona, Director of Industrial, Vision, Healthcare & Sciences, Xilinx. Chetan Talked about how Xilinx remains customers' number one option for a lot of years, their contribution across industries, specially in the healthcare sector, as well as their India operations.
Here would be the exclusive excerpts:
ELE Times: What would be the “next big thing” that might spur growth in the fields of commercial, vision, healthcare and science? Can you point out the emerging markets or technologies that appear to be promising to you?
In addition to everything, we're already deeply invested in, we believe there is still significant growth available in the regions of IoT, Machine Learning, AI, functional safety, cybersecurity, industrial communications, control and vision. We're focusing new efforts in 2022 around robotics and 5G wireless in industrial and healthcare applications.
ELE Times: How Xilinx has assisted the healthcare sector to function more efficiently and effectively?
Xilinx continues to be serving the medical industry for many years, almost immediately after our founding back in 1984. Medical Imaging has been the traditional strength of Xilinx before we've expanded into additional applications recently.
ELE Times: How Xilinx is Building Smarter Vision Systems with Xilinx SoCs and FPGAs?
Xilinx is one of the most popular choices in the field of machine vision and has been growing rapidly in security, retail, smart cities, etc. Kria SOMs enable users to construct a smarter vision system within 1 hour out of the box, enabled by the app store. For Xilinx customers not using Kria SOMs, we see the most popular applications are sensor interface, image signal processing (ISP), Vision AI Inference and sending it to the network in order to a presentation.
ELE Times: As Xilinx enjoys a global reputation, do you know the greatest challenges that your team faces in serving an international customer base?
Customers often compliment Xilinx on our local tech support team resources as being a differentiator and a competitive advantage for us. We have found the right balance of centralized and local resources to create our customers successful.
Offering multiple design entry modes such as C++, Python, ROS, OpenCL, etc. is strategic for the business because depending on our customer needs and employ cases, not as many university graduates have traditional FPGA design knowledge about VHSIC Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and Verilog.
ELE Times: How important is the Indian marketplace for Xilinx's ISM business, exploring the fact that the Indian government's initiative has attracted the earth's attention because the newest manufacturing hub. How does Xilinx's ISM adhere to the changing scenario?
The ISM business in India is very strategic and forward-looking for all of us. Some of the mega infrastructure investments planned by the government asia within the areas such as smart cities possess a direct correlation to what Xilinx does. We're working with several customers in India involved with applications like Automated Toll Management on National Highways, Crime Detection, Social Distancing detection, Industry 4.0 etc.
