Xovis Showcases Real-World Edge AI in Action With PF-Series Sensor at Embedded World 2026
The PF-Series is a production-deployed 3D sensor designed for large-area people tracking and spatial analytics. Based on the Astra SL1680, the system runs AI inference, vision pipelines, and system control entirely on-device, enabling low-latency operation and simplified deployment without external accelerators.
“Xovis has focused on pushing 3D stereovision to scale reliably in complex, real-world environments,” said Christian Studer, CEO and Co-Founder of Xovis. “With the PF-Series, we combined our optical and algorithmic expertise with a tightly integrated AI compute platform to deliver both accuracy and efficiency in a single sensor.”
The PF-Series will be shown as part of Synaptics’ Edge AI processor portfolio, illustrating how system-level integration at the silicon layer enables complete, deployment-ready sensing solutions.
“PF-Series is a clear proof point for integrated Edge AI,” said Vikram Gupta, SVP & GM, Edge Compute & Connectivity Division, Synaptics. “By unifying AI compute, vision acceleration, and system control on Astra SL1680, we enabled real-time vision at the Edge—and Xovis is proving that architecture at production scale.”
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
- The Synaptics Astra SL1680 SoC with integrated 7.9 TOPS NPU, on-chip ISP, and hardware-accelerated image and video pipelines.
