Di Shan Technology AI Edge Sensing Platform Technology Solution: Empowering Intelligent Edges, Driving Perception Revolution
Overview
In the era of edge intelligence, sensing and AI are deeply converging. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G technologies, smart terminals are evolving from cloud-dependent to edge-autonomous operation. Across scenarios like smart manufacturing, smart cities, autonomous driving, and healthcare, there is an increasingly urgent demand for real-time, low-latency, and highly secure perception and decision-making capabilities.
The traditional "perception-transmission-cloud processing" model can no longer meet the requirements for efficient responsiveness in complex environments. This is especially true amid explosive data growth, constrained network bandwidth, and stringent privacy compliance mandates—factors that have made edge computing indispensable. According to Gartner’s forecast, by 2025, 75% of global enterprise data will be generated and processed at the edge, with the edge computing market set to exceed USD 300 billion in size. Edge intelligence not only eases cloud-side load pressures but also enables real-time local data analysis, safeguards data privacy, and cuts transmission costs, emerging as a pivotal enabler of intelligent transformation.
Against this backdrop, the AI Edge Sensing Platform has emerged as the core carrier for closing the loop on intelligent perception. As a pioneer in edge intelligence, Dishan Technology leverages its profound expertise in advanced packaging and system integration to launch an innovative technical solution for the AI Edge Sensing Platform. By deeply integrating sensors, AI computing power, algorithms, and communication modules, the platform builds an all-in-one "perception-computation-decision-making" intelligent edge node. It empowers customers to break through traditional technical bottlenecks, shifting from passive data collection to proactive intelligence and driving the intelligent upgrading of industries. Through this platform, Dishan Technology is committed to building the "nerve endings" of the intelligent world, making edge intelligence ubiquitous, and propelling industries and society toward higher-level intelligence.
Platform Positioning: A Hardware-Software Coordinated Intelligent Perception Hub
Dishan Technology’s AI Edge Sensing Platform is a highly integrated, low-power, and scalable intelligent perception system solution tailored for multi-scenario applications. Guided by the core design philosophy of "edge-side intelligence, real-time response, and security & reliability", the platform delivers localized processing of perceptual data and intelligent decision-making through deep hardware-software synergy.
It integrates high-precision sensors, edge AI processors, embedded operating systems, and dedicated algorithm libraries, supporting the fusion processing of diverse perception modalities—including vision, voice, inertial sensing, and environmental monitoring. This creates a closed, end-to-end workflow spanning data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, and intelligent decision-making.
For example, in smart transportation scenarios, the platform uses cameras and radar sensors to monitor road conditions in real time, rapidly identifying vehicles, pedestrians, and traffic signs while processing data locally at the edge. When potential hazards are detected, the system triggers immediate decisions and sends alerts to relevant vehicles or traffic management centers, effectively preventing accidents. This use case vividly demonstrates the platform’s high-efficiency perception and real-time decision-making capabilities. Whether deployed for precision detection in industrial settings or real-time monitoring in urban traffic, the platform delivers high-performance, highly reliable edge intelligence services.
Its core strengths are threefold:

It adapts flexibly to lightweight tasks (e.g., face detection with <30ms latency) and complex inference scenarios (e.g., industrial defect analysis with >99% accuracy). For example, in smart manufacturing, 8 TOPS of computing power can process 16 channels of high-definition video streams simultaneously.
AI Framework Compatibility: Fully compatible with mainstream frameworks (TensorFlow Lite, PyTorch Mobile, ONNX), the platform provides a model conversion toolchain to minimize migration costs. Developers can seamlessly deploy cloud-trained models to the edge—for example, quantizing and deploying the YOLOv5 object detection model boosts inference speed by 40%.
Real-Time Inference Optimization: Hardware acceleration (e.g., NPU fixed-point operations) and intelligent software scheduling (e.g., dynamic task allocation) keep model inference latency under 50ms, meeting millisecond-level requirements for scenarios like autonomous driving (collision warnings require <20ms response) and industrial control (1ms servo system cycle time).

In smart elderly care, for example, fall detection algorithms combined with skeleton key point recognition cut false alarm rates by 60% compared to traditional solutions.
Customized Development Support: An AutoML toolchain (one-stop data annotation, model training, and evaluation) enables customers to fine-tune models with limited data (e.g., 1,000 industrial defect images). Model compression techniques (distillation, quantization, pruning) reduce model size by over 50%, adapting to edge resource constraints. A semiconductor factory, for instance, compressed a defect detection model to 2MB and tripled its inference speed.
Edge Learning Capability: Select models support online learning, iteratively optimizing models using real-time feedback data. In smart retail, for example, passenger flow analysis models dynamically adjust accuracy based on seasonal trends, improving precision from 85% to 92%.

Gigabit Ethernet
It enables collaboration between edge devices (e.g., multi-robot linkage in smart workshops) and cloud-edge synergy (encrypted upload of critical data), while supporting IoT protocols (MQTT, HTTP, CoAP) for cross-platform interoperability.
Secure Communication Mechanism: Built-in TLS/SSL encryption and a Hardware Security Module (HSM) supporting national cryptographic algorithms (SM2/SM3/SM4) ensure data confidentiality and integrity during transmission and storage. The platform complies with GDPR, ISO 27001, and China’s Cybersecurity Level 2.0 standards—for example, medical imaging data is desensitized locally, with only diagnostic results uploaded to the cloud.
5. Low-Power & Reliability Design: Guarantee for Sustained Edge Operation
Dynamic Power Management: Supports multi-level sleep modes (deep sleep power consumption <0.5mW) and event-triggered wake-up (sound, vibration, light). In smart agriculture, sensors activate only during critical crop growth stages (flowering, ripening), extending battery life to 3 years.
