OpenMV AE3 reaches 80µA in deep sleep with Alif Semiconductor’s Ensemble E3: why that changes the equation for battery-powered edge vision

For edge vision, the key challenge is making it run within real-world size and power constraints. That is why the latest OpenMV AE3 deep-sleep result matters. OpenMV and Alif Semiconductor® have highlighted that the AE3 now reaches just 80µA in deep sleep at 3.3V, compared with an earlier USB-powered deep-sleep measurement, that works out to roughly a 9.5 times reduction.

PointGrab and Alif: CogniPoint 2 Flex shows how edge AI can make workplace intelligence as agile as the office itself

CogniPoint 2 Flex runs its latest-generation AI models directly on the device, enabled by the low-power Ensemble® MCU family from Alif Semiconductor®. To be useful in a modern workplace, the system must support accurate counting, distinguish between areas of interest, operate continuously on a tight energy budget, and remain small enough and affordable enough for wide deployment.
