Edge computing hardware and software choices for machine builders
RDS and AAEON offer machine builders an even greater choice of hardware and software to build high performance, integrated solutions for smart applications that require vision data to be processed at the edge
The BOXER-8251AI from RDS is powered by the Jetson Xavier NX processing/inference engine from NVIDIA. It features high computing power with a six-core 64-bit ARM processor, 384 CUDA® cores, 48 Tensor cores and two NVDIA engines capable of running multiple neural networks in parallel, ensuring accelerated computing performance up to 21 TOPS. Plus, with 8GB of LPDDR4 memory and 16GB of onboard eMMC memory, which is expandable through the Micro SD slot, dedicated vision-based AI processing is brought to machine builders in a small affordable package.
Innovation is built in, with its ability for users to select five different performance modes. These modes allow the tailoring of the number of cores, processor speed and power draw that the system utilises. And, through extensive testing and development together with the rugged thermal design, users are able to match processor performance with a thermal performance for each operating mode. This edge AI platform can withstand temperature fluctuations from -20oC to +60oC and humidity up to 95% without any issues.
The compact BOXER-8251AI provides users with great flexibility when integrating into existing applications or new ones with its two COM ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port!
The BOXER-8251AI is powerful, rugged, fanless and low-maintenance and, thanks to its flexibility, it is able to power a wide range of AI at the edge, computing applications. Enabling both monitoring and control of the following environments: Smart City, Public Transportation, Manufacturing Processes and Building Access to name a few.
This is just one of the many embedded computer solutions and display products available from RDS. With our expertise and product knowledge we can help bring your ideas to reality. We design, prototype, test and manufacture, everything is in house and built to the highest quality standards. When you need that part, that screen, that board or cable, we can help.
