Case Study: Elementary scales AI machine vision deployments with Canonical's Ubuntu Core

Elementary scales its AI machine vision solutions with Ubuntu Core

Elementary, a company creating AI-powered machine vision solutions for manufacturing, faced challenges scaling its operations due to a time-consuming, server-based architecture that required manual provisioning and raised security concerns. To grow, they needed a secure, low-touch system that would enable automated provisioning and over-the-air updates for their global deployments and channel partners.

Canonical provided its Ubuntu Core operating system, which offered a fully containerized architecture with critical security features like secure boot and full-disk encryption. This solution from Canonical reduced device provisioning time from one day to just 20 minutes, enabled customer self-management, and supported Elementary in scaling to perform over one billion AI-powered inspections annually for their Fortune 500 clients.
