NeuroMem Technologies Teams Up with FiberOne for AI

SINGAPORE: NeuroMem Technologies Pte Ltd,

a paern recognion technology company

focused on the use and benefits of

neuromorphic semiconductor components,

teamed up with FiberOne Asia to demonstrate

the praccal use of arficial intelligence (AI) at

EmTech Asia 2018, the annual global emerging

technologies conference hosted by MIT

Technology Review.

FiberOne, one of Singapore's most forward

looking audio visual (AV) system integrator, is

leveraging Neuromem's disrupve,

neuromorphic AI technology to create a facial

recognion soluon that would create a more

interacve experience for the hospitality,

construcon and audio-visual sector. The team

tapped into Neuromem's ecosystem of

engineers, designers and experts including

Dr. Manan Suri, Assistant Professor with the

Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian

Instute of Technology-Delhi (IIT-Delhi) and a

member of the Steering Commiee at

NeuroMem Technologies. Dr. Suri used his

personal experience with projects he has been

working on in facial recognion and medical

applicaons to help the FiberOne team make

the best use of the neuromorphic memory

capabilies of the Neuromem chips.

Johnson Mutaya, CEO at FiberOne, said, “This is

an excing new journey for us and we are

pleased to be working with the team at

Neuromem who have not only one of the most

effecve technologies in the AI space but have

provided us with the support and resources to

make this happen. It has been my ambion for

FiberOne to get involved in AI and hopefully

become a game changer within the AV

industry.”

One of the key highlights for Mutaya was the

fact that Neuromem's neuromorphic AI

technology consumed less power and was not

dependent on cloud services. “The fact that it

does not rely on the cloud or an Internet

connecon, means that our technology can be

deployed anywhere and is completely secure

because it is localized to the applicaon and yet

dynamic enough to deliver what we need,”

added Mutaya.

“We are truly excited. I am already working

on some proof of concept using the

technology and so far the response has

been very posive,” said a pleased Mutuya.

This project will help Fiber One Asia's

connued efforts to provide out of the box

and creave soluons in the AV sector with

plans to expand into the construcon and

hospitality sectors looking to adapt future

technologies.

Pierre Brunswick, CEO of Neuromem

Technologies, commented, “We are

delighted with the results of this project

with the FiberOne team. This soluon has

so many applicaons not just in the AV

sector but also for the tourism,

construcon, hospitality and, of course,

security and surveillance sectors. Our

demonstraon at EmTech Asia will

showcase the versality of our technology

and we hope that we will soon have more

prototypes in several other sectors.”
