    The Future is Here

    Industrial Edge

    Ambiq’s SPOT platform and solutions deliver a powerful combination of intelligence, reliability, and ultra-low power performance tailored for demanding industrial environments. From smart factories and logistics hubs to remote infrastructure and field operations, SPOT enables always-on sensing and edge AI that help optimize asset tracking, predictive maintenance, and real-time monitoring. Industrial teams can detect equipment anomalies before failures occur, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend the life of critical machinery—all while operating on tiny power budgets that make long-life, battery-powered deployments practical.

    At the same time, embedded intelligence enhances worker safety through environmental monitoring, location awareness, and automated alerts in hazardous conditions. By bringing AI to the edge with unmatched energy efficiency, Ambiq helps industrial organizations increase productivity, streamline operations, and significantly lower total cost of ownership across connected systems.

    Automotives

    A device is designed to
    • unlock the door when you approach the car, readjust the seat, rearview and side mirrors to your specification, tune to the audio source/radio station of your choice, turn on the GPS with the next destination ready to go, remind your to-do’s. monitor your vitals and alert the user of any elevated stress or irregularity, and call for help during an emergency and notify the immediate contacts

    Health and Wellness

    Ambiq’s SPOT platform advances digital health by enabling a new generation of highly capable, ultra-low power edge devices that deliver real-time, secure, and always-on intelligence patients and clinicians can depend on, anytime and anywhere.

    From wearable monitors and hearing aids to remote patient monitoring systems and connected medical devices, SPOT makes continuous sensing and on-device AI practical without sacrificing battery life, comfort, or reliability. This allows health solutions to track vital signs, detect anomalies, and generate actionable insights in real time, even in always-on use cases that demand months or years of operation on a single charge. Built with security and data integrity at the core, SPOT supports privacy-first, edge-based processing that keeps sensitive health data protected while reducing reliance on the cloud.

    By combining medical-grade performance with unmatched energy efficiency, Ambiq empowers digital health innovators to improve patient outcomes, enable proactive care, and extend high-quality healthcare beyond traditional clinical settings.

    SPOT Support

    APOLLO MCU

    Ambiq's SPOT platform will allow you to run optimized models for pattern recognition on microcontrollers in a low-profile that does not exceed the size of a grain of rice, and consumes only a milliwatt of power.

    The edge AI hardware market is expected to reach USD 58.90 billion by 2030 at a17.6% CAGR
