EMASS, a Nanoveu subsidiary emerging from stealth with next-generation semiconductor technology, has introduced the ECS-DoT, their Edge AI system-on-chip (SoC). The new design facilitates always-on, milliWatt-scale intelligence for Edge devices, eliminating the need for Cloud-based computation.
With this chip, EMASS is targeting the extreme edge of the network, an area occupied by compact and lightweight connected devices powered by small batteries. Application examples include medical wearables and sensor modules operating adjacent to the sensors they support.
The ECS-DoT is designed with four megabytes of on-board SRAM, allowing AI computations to run efficiently on Edge and IoT devices. By processing data locally, the chip dramatically reduces latency and power consumption, opening the door for always-on intelligence in wearables, drones and predictive maintenance-dependent systems.
“We are thrilled to bring EMASS out of stealth and introduce the ECS-DoT to market, redefining what’s possible at the edge,” said Mark Goranson, CEO of EMASS. “OEMs have told us that power efficiency is the defining factor for edge AI, and ECS-DoT delivers on that promise while enabling always-on, zero-lag intelligence directly on devices.”
Compared with competitors, ECS-DoT operates up to 93% faster while consuming 90% less energy, all while supporting true multimodal sensor fusion on-device, eliminating the need for Cloud processing.
