NI Platform provides a platform for fast development of modular sensing& control systems
Cogito adds disruptive embedded analytics capability to the NI platform.
Current alternative is CLOUD based analytics, not suitable for manyapplications because of performance/cost constraints.

Our Key Differentiation at Edge 4.0
It's Truly Massively Parallel – No Von Neumann bottleneckPatterns for recognition are broadcasted to all neurons in a context group, whoindividually calculate their similarity with the reference.
It's Real Time – Constant latency – learning ‘on the job’In the order of a few micro-seconds per recognition with constant recognitionlatency, no matter how large the dataset is. Learning is just as fast.
It's Simple To Scale – Software solutions are notThe behavior of the neurons remains the same regardless of the final networkcapacity. It can be set as a single network or segmented into separate networksrunning concurrently
It's Energy Effective and Compact4K neurons on a CompactRIO cartridge deliver 500+ GOPS use less than 1.5W
