IronYun to accelerate generative AI development and increase solution value using NVIDIA NIM and NVIDIA Metropolis
30 Julio 2024 - 9:25AM
IronYun, a market leader in Vision AI applications for security,
safety, and operations, today announced it is using NVIDIA NIM
microservices and the NVIDIA Metropolis application framework to
accelerate the time to market and expand the real-world value of
its Vaidio® AI Vision Platform through generative AI.
Vaidio is an open video analytics platform that works with any
camera to generate real-time alerts, near-instant video search
results, and rich business intelligence data for retail,
manufacturing, traffic, education, security, safety, and other
operational and smart-city applications. The Vaidio Platform
recently won the SIA ISC West Best New Product of 2024 award, and
in recent years has won awards for managed services, video
analytics, loss prevention, and commercial monitoring.
Building on its work with NVIDIA for the past nine years,
IronYun is using NVIDIA NIM vision language model (VLM)
microservices and NVIDIA Metropolis reference workflows to develop
visual AI agents that integrate into its platform to help solve
security, safety, operational, and business intelligence challenges
across multiple industries.
IronYun is currently testing scenarios where it can run an
NVIDIA NIM VLM microservice to build visual AI agents. The company
is also using a reference workflow from NVIDIA Metropolis that
accelerates the development of these AI agents, which can create a
wide range of alerts and extract actionable insights from videos
using natural language. The production release is scheduled for
early September, with customers in Europe already awaiting this
implementation.
NVIDIA NIM is a set of microservices that includes
industry-standard APIs, domain-specific code, optimized inference
engines, and enterprise runtime. It delivers multiple VLMs for
building a visual AI agent that can process live or archived images
and videos to extract actionable insight using natural
language.
Any experienced engineer can make the first NVIDIA NIM API call
within 15 minutes. NIM helps future-proof IronYun’s solution,
allowing the company to quickly adopt and adapt newer VLMs as they
become available. NIM will also allow customers to switch or update
VLMs without waiting for product updates.
NVIDIA Metropolis nurtures a rich ecosystem and offers powerful
developer tools to supercharge Vision AI applications that are
designed to make the world’s most important spaces and operations
safer and more efficient. Metropolis makes it easier and more
cost-effective for enterprises, governments and partners to develop
and deploy Vision AI solutions to improve critical operational
efficiency and safety problems.
Paul Sun, IronYun CEO, said, “Fundamentally, NVIDIA NIM
microservices give us deployment flexibility, which strengthens one
of the most important differentiators of the Vaidio Platform. We
are not only using NIM to make our visual AI agents more
intelligent and to solve a broader range of customer problems – we
are also using NIM to accelerate our efforts to increase the
intelligence we build into our platform itself.”
