By Joe O\u2019Halloran, Computer Weekly \u00a0– \u00a0\u00a014 Mar 2025<\/span><\/p>\n Looking to enhance data-driven decision-making for customers in industrial internet of things (IoT) applications, Palantir Technologies has entered into a collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies to run its Ontology enterprise systems on Qualcomm\u2019s hardware and software platforms at the network edge to hasten and improve real-time insights and data-driven decisions even in offline remote environments.<\/p>\n By combining its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered edge processors and connected software with Palantir\u2019s<\/a> AI platform, Qualcomm believes manufacturers and enterprise customers will be able to build and deploy scalable AI solutions for a variety of sectors, beginning with manufacturing, industrial and automotive.<\/p>\n The partnership comes weeks after Qualcomm unveiled the Dragonwing suite of products<\/a> that now represent the comms tech firm\u2019s networking and cellular infrastructure solutions. Dragonwing products are designed to support edge intelligence custom-designed for business and industry, with on-device hardware and software AI solutions seeing use in a number of areas.<\/p>\n The net result, according to Qualcomm, <\/b>is that the IoT solutions can be used to simplify complexity, empower smarter decision-making and optimise operational efficiency, forming \u201cblueprints for industry transformation\u201d, from enhancing everyday needs to solving the world\u2019s most mission-critical challenges.<\/p>\n The collaboration will combine Palantir\u2019s Ontology<\/a> directly with Dragonwing processors, enabling AI-powered applications built using Palantir\u2019s OSDK and AIP to be run directly on devices powered by Dragonwing platforms for hardware-accelerated multimedia and AI experiences, even in partially disconnected or fully air-gapped environments.<\/p>\n Palantir Foundry Object Peering, designed to enable data synchronisation across compute topologies powered by Qualcomm Technologies\u2019 platforms, supports hardware and software solutions that capture and process data at the source, all while integrating with core AIP infrastructure during times of connectivity. Palantir Apollo then enables customers to manage those solutions on devices powered by Qualcomm platforms at scale, delivering ontologies, AI models and third-party software across edge and cloud footprints.<\/p>\n The two companies are confident that by harnessing Palantir\u2019s data integration and analytics and the Dragonwing IQ series, users will be able to create devices that will identify potential security breaches and operational issues early, optimise response times and significantly enhance overall system reliability.<\/p>\n \u201cQualcomm Technologies is at the forefront of enabling intelligent edge computing, and our collaboration with Palantir marks a pivotal moment in advancing AI capabilities at the edge,\u201d said Nakul Duggal, group general manager of automotive, industrial and embedded IoT, and cloud computing, at Qualcomm Technologies.<\/p>\n
