Infineon Launches DEEPCRAFT AI Suite to Accelerate Edge AI Development

Infineon Technologies has unveiled its DEEPCRAFT AI Suite, a comprehensive software ecosystem designed to streamline AI integration for edge computing applications. The platform reportedly reduces development friction from model creation to commercial deployment. Industry sources indicate this could significantly accelerate time-to-market for IoT devices requiring local AI processing.

German semiconductor giant Infineon Technologies is making a substantial push into the edge AI space with its newly announced DEEPCRAFT AI Suite, according to recent company disclosures. The comprehensive software platform aims to address one of the biggest challenges in embedded systems: simplifying the complex process of integrating artificial intelligence into resource-constrained edge devices.

Industry analysts have noted that while hardware capabilities for edge AI have advanced rapidly, the software ecosystem has often lagged behind. Infineon’s approach appears designed to bridge this gap specifically for their PSoC Edge microcontroller family. “With the introduction of our DEEPCRAFT AI Suite, we are further expanding Infineon’s Edge AI software ecosystem for unlocking the full potential of Edge AI,” Steve Tateosian, SVP and General Manager of IoT, Consumer, and Industrial MCUs at Infineon, stated in the announcement.
