Wind River, Edge Impulse, and ZEDEDA Showcase Edge AI Innovation at Embedded World 2025

By Avijit Sinha, Sr. Vice President, Strategy & Global Business Development

AI is no longer confined to the cloud or data centers -- it’s rapidly moving to the edge, transforming how industries process and act on data in real time. By enabling devices to analyze and respond to information locally, edge AI reduces latency, enhances security, and unlocks new possibilities for automation and intelligence. From industrial automation and healthcare to autonomous vehicles and robotics, edge AI is driving innovation across mission-critical industries, making systems faster, smarter, and more efficient.

To accelerate this shift, Wind River is collaborating with Edge Impulse and ZEDEDA to provide organizations with the tools they need to harness the power of AI in real time. This week, we joined forces with Edge Impulse and ZEDEDA at Embedded World 2025 in Germany to showcase the latest advancements in Edge AI innovation. Our live demonstrations highlighted AI-driven safety, security, and intelligence at the edge. Additionally, we participated in a panel session discussing the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of AI at the edge.

By combining Wind River’s proven edge-to-cloud software, ZEDEDA’s zero-trust edge computing platform, and Edge Impulse’s end-to-end ML development platform, we're simplifying AI deployment at the edge -- improving operational efficiency and driving next-generation innovation.

One of our key demonstrations focused on industrial manufacturing safety powered by AI at the edge. Specifically, we showcased how AI can prevent hazardous shop floor situations involving robotic arm movement. An AI algorithm, processing a live camera feed, detects a safety violation and, via closed-loop feedback, immediately halts the robotic arm’s movement. At the core of this robotic control system is a powerful combination of Wind River Linux, ZEDEDA’s edge orchestration, and Edge Impulse’s AI modeling, providing a robust solution for industrial safety.

During our panel session, “Transforming the Future with Real-Time Edge AI,” we explored how real-time edge AI is reshaping industries -- enhancing safety, ensuring business continuity, and redefining what’s possible at the edge. As industries increasingly rely on real-time intelligence, the ability to deploy secure and efficient AI at the edge is more critical than ever.

As we continue to drive innovation in edge AI, Wind River’s collaboration with Edge Impulse and ZEDEDA reflects our commitment to shaping the future of intelligent edge devices. The future is here -- and together, we’re making it a reality.
