EdgeMLOps: Operationalizing ML models with Cumulocity IoT and thin-edge.io for Visual quality Inspection

We address the challenges of model optimization, deployment, and lifecycle management in edge environments. The framework's efficacy is demonstrated through a visual quality inspection (VQI) use case where images of assets are processed on edge devices, enabling real-time condition updates within an asset management system. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance benefits of different quantization methods, specifically static and dynamic signed-int8, on a Raspberry Pi 4, demonstrating significant inference time reductions compared to FP32 precision. Our results highlight the potential of EdgeMLOps to enable efficient and scalable AI deployments at the edge for industrial applications.
