2026 Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year Award Winner Showcase: SiMa.ai (Edge AI Computer or Board)

SiMa.ai’s Modalix MLSoC SoM has been awarded the 2026 Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year Award in the Edge AI Computers and Boards category.

SiMa.ai’s Modalix SoM (System on Module) is a compact, production-ready circuit board designed to run advanced AI directly on edge devices. Modalix SoMs are ideal for companies building physical AI systems—such as robotics, industrial automation, and intelligent vision applications—that need reliable, high-performance AI in real-world environments. Physical AI deployments often struggle with high power consumption, thermal limits, and expensive hardware redesigns. Modalix allows customers to modernize their existing platforms quickly, bringing more powerful AI closer to where the data is created without overhauling their systems.

Modalix combines purpose-built machine learning acceleration, Arm compute, vision processing, and high-bandwidth I/O in a single module. Its GPU-compatible software framework support and pin- and form-factor compatibility let customers upgrade from legacy or GPU-based designs with minimal friction—delivering higher performance per watt and faster time-to-production than competing Physical AI platforms. By delivering up to 50 TOPS of AI compute in under 10 watts, Modalix enables generative AI, large language.

“We are truly honored to be recognized by the Edge AI and Vision Alliance for our Modalix MLSoC SoM. This award reflects our commitment to redefining edge AI through a purpose-built architecture, rich-I/O form factor, and innovative software that accelerates deployment and scaling for Physical AI,” stated Durga Peddireddy, Vice President of Product Management & Partnerships, SiMa.ai. “As Physical AI takes center stage across robotics, industrial automation, and smart infrastructure, SiMa.ai works closely with partners to help customers evolve from traditional computer vision to reasoning-based analytics — solving real-world problems faster and delivering lasting value.”

SiMa.ai is a leader in Physical AI, delivering a purpose-built, software-centric platform that brings best-in-class performance, power efficiency, and ease of use to Physical AI applications. Focused on scaling Physical AI across robotics, automotive, industrial automation, aerospace & defense, smart vision, and healthcare, SiMa.ai is led by seasoned technologists and backed by top-tier investors. Headquartered in San Jose, California.


The award trophy will be presented at the 2026 Embedded Vision Summit May 11-13 in Santa Clara, CA. The awards program is organized by the Edge AI and Vision Alliance. The Edge AI and Vision Product of the Year Awards celebrate the innovation and achievement of the industry’s leading companies that are enabling and developing products incorporating edge AI and computer vision technologies.

Here you’ll find a wealth of practical technical insights and expert advice to help you bring AI and visual intelligence into your products without flying blind.
