This collaboration represents a significant milestone for the electronics industry, bringing hardware closer to AI/ML by combining Edge Impulse's platform and tools with Mouser's extensive range of compatible hardware products. It also demonstrates Mouser's commitment to innovation and will contribute to the growth of edge ML solutions, as well as open-source projects and practical applications. Mouser customers can access the Edge Impulse software platform through relevant product microwebsites and learn more about how they can use ML to enhance their designs. Similarly, Edge Impulse users will have convenient access to compatible hardware, such as microcontrollers and development kits, directly from Mouser.

"Our partnership with Edge Impulse is an exciting proposition for both companies, as well as for the broader engineering community," said Kevin Hess, senior vice president of marketing at Mouser Electronics. "Their innovative platform is revolutionizing edge ML by making it accessible to a wide range of users, from individuals to large corporations." “Teaming up with Edge Impulse allows us to offer its users easy access to the hardware they need, at the scale they want.”

“We are thrilled with Edge Impulse’s alliance with Mouser Electronics, which accelerates our mission to empower businesses and developers worldwide with cutting-edge AI tools,” said Zach Shelby, president and co-founder of Edge Impulse. “Mouser’s global reach and industry-leading electronic component distribution services make it the perfect partner to help us advance the development of edge AI across all sectors.”

The increasing popularity of edge AI and machine learning (ML) solutions in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and consumer electronics underscores the importance of engineers having access to powerful development platforms and appropriate products. Edge Impulse, distinguished as the industry leader in ML, enables developers to leverage real-world data to build and optimize solutions. Its platform streamlines usage and scalability and enables rapid deployment. As a hardware-agnostic solution, Edge Impulse empowers engineers and students to develop sophisticated AI and ML solutions, leveraging a wide range of hardware options to expand the application spectrum.

This global collaboration is designed to remove barriers to edge AI and ML development and simplify access to hardware products to accelerate development. The partnership builds on previous successful collaborations between the two companies, initially with BrickML, a standalone tool designed by Edge Impulse and manufactured by Reloc. This system-on-a-module (SoM) enables engineers to develop and deploy ML at the edge and is distributed exclusively through Mouser. In addition to BrickML, Mouser used Edge Impulse in its captivating pest detection demonstration, presented at recent trade shows in EMEA.
