Industries such as railways are moving from traditional inspection methods to using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to perform automated inspection of railcars. Data streaming from the edge at high rates requires the compute power of a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster, storage and advanced analytics to return results in real time. The system also must effectively enable remote administration and management to ensure reliable system operations. Duos Technologies, in collaboration with Dell, Kalray, and NVIDIA, has pioneered the Railcar Inspection Portal (RIP), which harnesses innovative AI and ML at the edge for wayside mechanical railcar inspections.
