Qualcomm, Advantech Collaborate to Accelerate Edge AI Innovation for IoT

At COMPUTEX 2025, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. announced a collaboration with Advantech to advance AI-driven IoT applications. Through this collaboration, Advantech is positioned as a partner in Qualcomm Technologies’ IoT ecosystem, enabling deeper integration of Qualcomm Technologies’ cutting-edge technologies into Advantech’s edge computing and edge AI platforms – accelerating the deployment of intelligent solutions across industries.

Qualcomm introduced its Qualcomm Dragonwing™ portfolio earlier this year, delivering cutting-edge AI performance and ultra-low latency at the edge to unlock new possibilities for scalable industrial innovation. As part of the collaboration between the two companies, Advantech has adopted Dragonwing technology across diverse hardware form factors and product lines, including solutions powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QCS6490 processor for embedded modules, smart panels, and AI cameras; as well as the Qualcomm Dragonwing™ IQ8 and IQ9 platforms for Edge AI systems and robotic controllers. Advantech plans to utilize these platforms to enable scalable, high-performance solutions for robotics, smart manufacturing, medical, retail, and urban infrastructure.

To foster developer innovation, Qualcomm Technologies is collaborating with Advantech to help them deliver a developer-oriented tool chain for Edge AI development and deployment. Leveraging Advantech’s deep expertise in embedded markets, the companies are utilizing Qualcomm Technologies’ robust enablement platforms —including Edge Impulse, and Foundries.io—and integrating Advantech’s EdgeAI SDK to provide no-code/low-code model training tools and a rich model zoo. This enables developers to accelerate time-to-market and efficiently scale intelligent edge solutions.

This collaboration reflects a shared vision between Advantech and Qualcomm Technologies—to drive the future of edge intelligence, where AI, connectivity, and scalable ecosystems converge to empower industries, accelerate innovation, and unlock the full potential of intelligent, autonomous systems at the edge.
