March 15, 2023, ST. LOUIS, MO – Saefix, a Faith Group LLC company, announced today that it has built an Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence (AI CoE), working with NVIDIA to develop and deploy high-impact AI applications, services, and experiences in the aviation and transportation space. This collaboration highlights Saefix and Faith Group’s overall commitment to driving innovative solutions for clients across all of its key verticals.
The AI CoE collaboration allows Saefix and Faith Group access to NVIDIA’s global expertise and resources, including deep learning frameworks, development tools, and technical support, along with access to its network of thousands of partners. The purpose of the AI CoE is to accelerate AI technology development and bring innovative solutions to market faster.
“The goal of Saefix’s collaboration with NVIDIA is to fast-track and expand solution development capabilities for our clients and focus on AI and machine learning as a technical platform. NVIDIA has a network of providers that can help Saefix harness best-in-breed solutions and enable full solution development,” explains Zach Varwig, Chief Operating Officer of Saefix.
Saefix will bring experience and best practices specific to the aviation and transportation markets to the NVIDIA Partner Network, as well as leverage Faith Group’s industry reach and influence. Saefix will work with NVIDIA to bring industry-specific knowledge, use cases, and AI-powered solutions to help smart airport facilities & campuses to solve critical challenges.
“With the AI CoE collaboration with NVIDIA, Saefix gains additional exposure to the latest technologies, which provides our subject matter experts with industry-leading knowledge, best practices, and use cases for consulting and design on client projects,” said Rick Adams, Chief Technology Officer at Saefix. “The collaboration allows Saefix to continue to maximize client capabilities surrounding data collection and dissemination focused on video analytics, internet of things (IoT), machine learning, and other emerging AI applications.”
These new resources enable Saefix & Faith Group to rapidly widen their service bookends provided to partners/clients, such as rapid integration development, proofs of concept, and testing using their in-house, cloud-extended test lab service model. Saefix and Faith Group’s St. Louis-based, shared technology Test Lab is powered by NVIDIA products and resources, including Dell EMC hyperconverged and traditional server infrastructure. This Lab serves as a controlled environment for the firms’ clients to test-drive and evaluate solutions first-hand to create industry-specific deployment models. Clients can run concept of operations, processes, and various scenarios, along with performing in-depth market analysis. This also enables Saefix & Faith Group to continue to mature relationships with other collaborators, including Genetec, BriefCam, and Cisco Systems.
“Faith Group is excited to announce our sister company, Saefix, and its new collaboration with NVIDIA,” Faith Varwig, Managing Principal of Faith Group. “Saefix enables Faith Group to expand its overall capabilities and meet our client requests for solution delivery and development, centered around emerging technologies and more advanced use cases for existing technologies.”
Next on the horizon is an effort with NVIDIA to develop a client-focused aviation roadmap to identify gaps in current products and services to meet the ever-growing need for data science in aviation and transportation environments. The roadmap will provide additional use cases that allow for the broader adoption of AI and machine learning in these markets, enabling continuous improvement processes.
As Saefix/Faith Group completes Test Lab solution analysis, white papers will also become available to showcase a variety of solutions’ results and recommendations. These solutions will also then be easily adoptable by the firm’s wide client base.
