I believe Schneider Electrics is a customer of Renasas. Here's an excerpt from an article published two days ago which talks about their focus on edge computing.

“This is where Edge computing comes into the picture,” said Lim. “AI requires robust compute capabilities in the Edge environment for faster processing. With these capabilities, Edge data centres are able to focus on keeping data on location for faster processing, higher security, and more efficient performance.”
Edge Computing Pushes AI to Do More
Edge computing offers much-needed speed for organisations that can be burdened with a large volume of raw data from AI. Processing is done on-site while the system’s speed allows for timely output of analysis. Latency is reduced significantly, allowing for real-time decision making.
In an industrial or large-scale setting, the availability of real-time decision-making saves money, effort and reduces the occurrence of the most feared element: unplanned downtime. Accurate data also gives industrial players the ability to predict machine failures and implement predictive maintenance without disrupting the production capabilities. On the other hand, the volume and nature of data handled by each business are subject to security vulnerabilities, both physical and digital.
Accessibility and device compatibility is one of the biggest security risks in data centres where third party plug ins and IoT devices can mean more than just convenience. Edge computing secures sensitive data in the furthest point possible on a company’s network. In short, Edge computing can isolate and protect data as well.
Moreover, with speed, security and convenience offered by Edge, businesses will be able to reach their customers faster, more accurately and keep them engaged in a relevant manner. With the power of AI processing, businesses can gain competitive advantage by engaging with their customers more precisely and predicting their needs. And when combined with Edge, Edge AI can unlock new possibilities for the way businesses interact with their customers.
“These are just some of Schneider Electric’s efforts around Edge, together with the support of the Internet of Things (IOT) and AI, across two industries which have experience positive changes in the way they do business,” explains Lim. “At Schneider Electric, we aim to help our partners improve the way their businesses operate through highly-connected and resilient digital solutions.”
The Future of AI
In a nutshell, the combination of AI and Edge computing leads to faster computing and insights, improved data security, as well as more efficient control over operations. There is something even more exciting on the horizon. AI, that are already optimised by Edge functionalities, will receive a further boost for seamless operations through the 5G rollout, which is among the most anticipated technologies in 2022.
