Partnership with Ronds enables always-on predictive maintenance across global industrial operations
AUSTIN, Texas, January 6, 2026 — Ambiq Micro, Inc. (“Ambiq”) (NYSE: AMBQ), a technology leader in ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions for edge AI, today announced a significant expansion of its industrial footprint through a strategic partnership with Ronds, a publicly listed provider of intelligent equipment monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions.
Founded in 2007, Ronds specializes in industrial IoT–based anomaly detection and condition monitoring for heavy industries, including petrochemical, coal processing, and chemical plants. The company is expanding into international markets across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
The partnership emphasizes Ambiq’s growing momentum in industrial applications, enabling large-scale deployments of always-on, battery-powered edge AI sensors in critical environments. By integrating Ronds’ intelligent sensing platforms with Ambiq’s proprietary Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®), the companies are overcoming long-standing barriers to industrial edge AI adoption in power, scalability, and maintenance.
Always-On Intelligence for the Industrial Edge
Industrial operations face ongoing challenges, including unplanned downtime, equipment wear, limited on-site visibility, and safety hazards. Ronds’ industrial monitoring sensors perform advanced analytics directly on the device, providing real-time insights without relying on continuous cloud connectivity. To date, over 400,000 units have been shipped into industrial settings, proving the viability of always-on edge AI in tough operating environments.
Key capabilities include:
- Advanced Anomaly Detection: Continuous monitoring of vibration, temperature, and acoustics to identify early indicators of equipment failure.
- Natural-Language Diagnostics with Generative AI: Integration with large language models (LLMs), including ChatGPT and DeepSeek, allowing operators to query machine health in natural language and receive actionable diagnostics.
- Multi-Year Battery Life: Ambiq’s ultra-low-power architecture enables years of maintenance-free operation, supporting dense, large-scale sensor deployments.
“The industrial sector is central to the global economy, yet edge AI adoption has long been limited by power and reliability demands,” said Aaron Grassian, EVP of Marketing and Sales at Ambiq. “This partnership demonstrates that Ambiq’s edge AI technology is ready for industrial-scale, mission-critical deployment.”
“As we expand predictive maintenance across complex industrial settings, we need processors capable of running advanced AI algorithms without sacrificing battery life,” said Rachel Qi, US Branch Leader at Ronds. “Ambiq’s Apollo SoCs provide the performance and efficiency needed to transition from pilots to real-world deployment.”
