Innominds is happy to be associated with Qualcomm Technologies as an ecosystem partner for their Robotics RB5 platform – the company’s most advanced, integrated, comprehensive offering designed specifically for robotics.
Innominds has entered into a strategic partnership with Appvance.ai, the inventor and leader in AI-driven testing to offer AI-driven quality engineering services. This partnership enables autonomous testing, making it a reality for global businesses.
Activ Surgical announced that it has joined Qualcomm Smart Cities Accelerator Program and is partnering with Innominds on developing AI-powered camera solutions that can power digital surgeries of the future.
We also launched our Remote-First and Back2OfficeTM solutions that enable enterprises to leverage our platform-based analytics, cloud, computer vision and AI-ML driven solutions in order to make them secure, stable and resilient.
The expertise we offer to Qualcomm
For over thirteen years, Innominds has been the partner of choice for Qualcomm, collaborating over various projects. We have close to 150 engineers working on these projects for Qualcomm. We have delivered Kernel upgrade to 4.14 on MDM9x07 target for Qualcomm and we are exploring more Kernel upgrade opportunities on Mobile, Auto and IIoT platforms. We have a large team supporting Extended Life of Customer SPs through ASB and critical CR patching for 15+ Qualcomm IIoT and Mobile customers. We are a Tier-1 Vendor for the Contract Work Force at Qualcomm India and having engineers at teams such as Linux, MM, APTech, CNE, Auto, Modem SW and One IT across all locations. We have delivered Q OTA upgrade through QC sustenance program with over 60+ major and minor releases overall and have a partial team already contributing to R-Upgrade program at Qualcomm. Innominds is also building a 5G CoE and testing team proactively targeting Qualcomm platforms to enable professional services, enterprise solution engineering and IoT use cases.
Our solutions working with Qualcomm
Innominds currently serves as a design house and Virtual ODM for Qualcomm. We are also a premier ADC for Qualcomm globally. We work with multiple Qualcomm eco-system partners including EMS providers like Avalon, Analogix and Flextronics in India; Siix in Singapore and Batam, Indonesia; and Yuko Tech in Shenzen, China. We also serve multiple IoT devices including Industrial IoT and AR/VR devices.
Solution Spotlight
Remote First and Back2Office Solutions
We have developed a suite of Remote First and secure Back2OfficeTM solutions that will help you keep your business stable, secure and resilient in these tough times. These solutions are platform-based analytics, cloud, computer vision, and AI and ML-driven.
The Remote First suite includes advanced technology solutions to digitize your workforce, build an intelligent contactless ecosystem, leverage smart field devices, and enhance cyber security as well as AI, ML, AR/VR, and cloud solutions to ensure secure app development, speed-to-market, optimized development and testing costs, and modernized architecture.
Technology Spotlight – 5G
Innominds is working on a concept currently in its nascent stage that involves remote working. This requires a dexterous robot at the client-side that also generates rich visual and other sensory feedback to be effectively captured and presented at the server-side. The operator at the server-side uses this rich feedback to generate necessary signals/commands that is relayed in real-time to the client-side to manipulate the robot reliably and effectively. The data to flow between the client and server in real-time requires a connectivity with low-latency, high reliability, high availability and large bandwidth. A 5G network fulfills these requirements and thereby enables remote operation of a reliable, real-time closed loop feedback system.
Innominds is also proud to play a stellar role and be an ecosystem player in Qualcomm’s first 5G and AI-enabled robotics platform, the RB5 platform. We are leveraging the capabilities of this platform to add significant value in the Digital Next initiatives of our esteemed customers. Facilitating the development of necessary hardware and software to enable various robotic applications in the ecosystem, Qualcomm has strategically partnered with Innominds.
Platforms and solutions - What’s brewing in our labs
PFU ID Scanner
As part of our aim to power the Digital Next initiatives of global companies, we have partnered with PFU—a Fujtisu subsidiary—on contactless facial biometric technologies. The collaboration on the ID scanner is expected to drive transformational initiatives in identity management through the combination of facial recognition technologies, smart connected cameras, AI, and 2D/3D sensor technologies that can significantly improve contactless identity management solutions.
Telematics Device
Enabling next-generation innovation, Innominds has developed Telematics Device Gateway (OBD II), a handheld medical screening connected device, which is built on Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms and chipsets.
Proterra / IoTecha
Innominds worked with Proterra / IoTecha for EV Smart Grid Integration for their fleet of electric buses. We set up the Starpoint REV-B Board inside the housing, tested the board with our diagnostic app and created a demo of the application. They were happy with the overall result.
Innominds and Microsoft MCVP Program
Innominds’ team is also proud to be involved with the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform (MCVP)— Microsoft's automotive grade development platform designed to accelerate delivery of connected smart vehicle solutions and mobility experiences. As a part of this, we are trying to solve problems related to the cold chain logistics including vehicle malfunction or breakdown, the lack of continuous visibility into condition of perishables, problems due to human error and other risks. We are leveraging Innominds solution components, Desi board and mobile tracker for the MCVP business case.
The Innominds’ team is also working on Azure Maps implementation for an intelligent fleet management system, which leverages Azure IoT Hub and Cosmos DB for device telemetry along with geospatial data. The solution works on optimized routing calculations based on device telemetry and helps in handling uncertainties guiding a driver or an autonomous vehicle to a recommended route, achieving real-time decision making.
We are focusing on creating and using indoor maps and augmenting Azure Maps content with project-specific business knowledge of indoor places that would help develop smart building solutions as well.

Digital Twins: The real world is now both physical and virtual. AI brings them together.
Digital Twins represents the convergence of the physical and the virtual world where every industrial product will get a dynamic digital representation. In a way, they are the virtual replicas of physical devices that data scientists and IT pros can use to run simulations before actual devices are built and deployed.
