Axiomtek introduces Edge AI system AIE900A-AO

The next-level AI system comes with eight PoE ports (60 W) and two 2.5 GbE LAN ports for 3D LiDAR, IP cameras, and more vision navigation sensors. It comes with E-mark compliance and supports 24VDC with ignition power control plus 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity with M.2 slots, which is also a great stride for higher efficiency of next-gen robotics. The AIE900A-AO is a perfect platform for deploying AI-powered robots, drones, AMRs, and other autonomous machines.

“Businesses now face the pressure to move faster, more intelligent, and meet varying user expectations while realising higher levels of efficiency. Artificial intelligence and autonomous machines can respond to these ever-changing demands,” said Annie Fu, a Product Manager of the AIoT Team at Axiomtek. “Axiomtek’s AIE900A-AO is specifically built around the NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ System-on-Module, integrating the latest NVIDIA Ampere GPU and NVIDIA deep learning accelerators, delivering an 8x performance boost over the previous generation. Along with the external fan kit, the AIE900A-AO can withstand an extended operating temperature as well as maximise the AI performance. Its design also prioritises vision applications by featuring lockable USB interfaces for seamless connectivity with USB3 Vision cameras. This ready-to-use Edge AI embedded system also comes with 8 PoE and GMSL for camera and LiDAR connectivity, getting a head start to provide advanced opportunities to our customers developing and deploying AI-driven autonomous machines.”

The AIE900A-AO has a rugged design for harsh environments, allowing it to operate over a wide temperature range from -25°C to +50°C and at vibrations up to 3 Grms. The AIE900A-AO has 32GB of LPDDR5 memory and 64GB eMMC onboard. One M.2 Key M 2280 SSD socket with a high-speed PCIe x4 NVMe interface and one Micro SD slot are available for extensive storage needs. For the benefit of low-latency data transmission, the AIE900A-AO supports two 2.5GbE LAN ports for high-speed wired connectivity, an M.2 Key E 2230 slot for Wi-Fi 6E, and an M.2 Key B 3052/3042 slot for 5G/LTE, as well as one Nano SIM slot. The AIE900A-AO also comes with 24 VDC with ignition power control. More I/O options include one lockable HDMI 2.1 with 4K2K supported, six USB ports, one GbE LAN, two DB9 for RS-232/422/485/CAN (selected by command line), 8-CH DI/DO, and five SMA-type antenna openings. The AIE900A-AO bundles with the Linux Ubuntu 20.04 OS environment and supports the NVIDIA JetPack 5.1.1 software development kit to foster the development of cross-industry AI-assisted operations. In addition, the AIE900A-AO has reserved the MIPI CSI-2 interface, offering compatibility with GMSL, FPD-LINK, and V-by-One cameras to enhance its capabilities for autonomous machine applications.
