The Next Stage of Edge AI Told by CES – From Smart Homes and Intelligent Homes to Manufacturing Floors

What CES Revealed About the Next Stage of Edge AI

From Smart Home and Intelligent Home to Manufacturing Facilities

AI no longer operates solely within the cloud.

Faced with latency, security, cost, and the need for immediate decision-making at the site,

AI is increasingly moving down to devices and the edge.

 

This shift was first tested in smart homes and intelligent homes,

confirmed as an industry-wide trend through CES 2026,

and is now expanding in full scale to Industrial Edge AI and Physical AI in manufacturing facilities.

 

This webinar examines how the AI transformation that began in smart homes and intelligent homes

is being applied to solving manufacturing facility challenges through CES 2026.
