Small but powerful: freshly transforming AI at the edge with the AIEdge-X®80

The development of edge AI (or AI at the edge) allows real-time information processing and minimizes latency so businesses can gain the risk intelligence or profitable insight then make better and quicker decisions. To this end, NEXCOM has designed its newest edge AI computer for semi-outdoor applications, such as identity management and image processing: the AIEdge-X®80.

 

Small but powerful: freshly transforming AI at the edge with the AIEdge-X80

 

The AIEdge-X®80 is an edge AI fanless box PC that couples low power with high performance in a compact form factor. Powered by the newest NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX, it delivers exceptional processing speeds of 70 to 100 TOPS with a power consumption of only 10W to 25W. It further enhances AI inference capabilities through robust multi-connectivity to other sensors and devices in the field. Additionally, you can build end-to-end, accelerated AI applications with the included NVIDIA® JetPack™ SDK, making the predictive responding of edge AI in security and retail applications, such as sorting machines, parcel tracking, access control and public safety, a tangible reality.

Envision power at the edge with NVIDIA®

The AIEdge-X®80 integrates the state-of-the-art NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX to perform complex AI tasks with the advantage of lower power consumption, giving you one of the best performance-per-watt ratios available. Easily process data from multiple high-resolution sensors simultaneously, at 70 to 100 TOPS, depending on your module choice (8 GB or 16 GB). The NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX powers the edge AI computer in a compact module smaller than a credit card, conserving limited space. Its robust, fanless design ensures reliability and durability, perfect for semi-outdoor environments.

Build the best AI SaaS

The AIEdge-X®80 supports software development by including the most comprehensive solution for building end-to-end accelerated AI applications, NVIDIA JetPack™. The easy-to-use NVIDIA JetPack™ provides a full development environment for hardware-accelerated, edge AI developmentThis will enable you to perform advanced inference tasks, like image classification, object detection, anomaly detection and semantic segmentation, which are indispensable for numerous edge AI security and retail applications.

Multi-connectivity is a must-have

By supporting both M.2 B keys for 5G/LTE and Mini PCIe cards for Wireless LAN, the AIEdge-X®80 can allocate resources more efficiently, leading to improved overall performance and reduced latency. Four LAN, two COM (RS232/422/485 and RS232), and multiple USB ports enable multitasking of real-time data collection and monitoring, often encountered in sorting and tracking machine scenarios. Its rugged design affords suitability for most applications, with extended operating temperatures of -20 to 60°C, while a remote power button unlocks system integration possibilities.
