Jonathan Berte

Founder & Chief Visionary Officer
Robovision

Jonathan Berte first experimented with vision and artificial intelligence in 2009 and continued to amass expertise in applied physics and image processing.

During an early stint working with automotive software, Berte soon saw the potential of combining machine vision with robots. With an academic background in applied physics from Ghent University and a specialization in neuroscience at ETH Zürich, Berte built a solid reputation for developing custom solutions for machine vision and robotics. He started as a consultant in 2003; opportunities quickly led to a full-fledged company renamed Robovision in 2008 headquartered in Ghent, Belgium.

Robovision pioneered a software platform for AI applications in advanced image recognition and  robotics. It soon evolved into a turnkey AI solution-provider with a deep-learning platform, RVAI. Designed to be no code and user-friendly, RVAI allows people from farmers to machine operators to adapt, retrain and run models without relying on data scientists. With over 1,000+ industrial applications deployed, Robovision has enabled over €250M in sales.

Aside from Robovision, where he also serves as Chairman of the Board, Jonathan is a frequent guest lecturer at the London School of Economics, Vlerick Business School, and Ghent University on subjects focused on artificial intelligence, machine vision, and robotics.

PARTNER KEYNOTE

Current approaches to handling AI at the edge are required to step up to the challenge of deploying AI based on the Foundation Model concept into edge-based devices from mobile to automotive to desktop/PC. This new landscape of AI models, alongside the traditional edge use cases demands new flexibilities and strategies that can take advantage of opportunities and challenges resulting from the CMOS scaling roadmap and 2.5/3D integration and the ongoing march of intelligent systems. 

This blue-sky presentation from the engineer driving Imagination’s long-term roadmap for AI will ask how the era of foundation models arrived, lay out forthcoming hardware and software challenges, and suggest a few routes to success in this new landscape.

Imagination is a global leader in innovative edge technology, delivering landmark GPU, CPU and AI semiconductor solutions across automotive, mobile, consumer and desktop markets for over thirty years.

CASE STUDY

In the case study I provide a deep dive into the area of food production (bakery goods) in europe´s largest bakery factory. The case study is about how we successfully implemented Computer Vision to monitor our production process to evaluate 3.5 mio. bakery goods every day. I will show how this leads to a reduction of food waste during production and how this is aligned with environmental/sustainability goals in food production. I will motivate why AI on the edge was identified as being a crucial success factor and which considerations we took as Schwarz group to get started in this area 3 years ago. I will discuss – based on the case study – how we selected and benchmarked hardware chips (Nvidia, Intel, GPU vs CPU…), how we needed to change software engineering to accommodate for Edge AI, how we integrated edge AI models into our cloud-based infrastructure, how we do the deployment and how/why we still use cloud-based GPUs for model training.

PRESENTATION

The explosion of interest in Large Language Models (LLMs) and other Foundation Models (FMs) over the past two years has meant that more organizations want to know what it takes to run solutions using these models in production. In this talk, Andy will share his learnings on how to organise your people and technology to take full advantage of these capabilities and run production grade solutions at scale. He will discuss common architectures, emerging team structures and how evaluation and monitoring practices need to be upgraded for the GenAI era. This talk is useful for anyone involved in the deployment and operations of systems where the latest wave of machine learning models play a role.
