AI is one of the hottest digital transformation trends this year, making its presence known in all facets of our daily lives. Whether searching the Internet, browsing social media, or generating personal content, AI has become ubiquitous in our individual lives. AI in the workplace, however, has improved at astronomical speeds, allowing businesses to perform tasks more efficiently and quickly than ever before. The development of edge AI (or AI at the edge) further allows real-time data processing and minimizes latency so businesses can make better and quicker decisions. To this end, NEXCOM has designed its newest edge AI computer for semi-outdoor applications, especially identity management and image processing: the AIEdge-X^®80.

The AIEdge-X^®80 is an edge AI fanless box that couples low power with high performance in a compact form factor. Powered by the newest NVIDIA^® Jetson Orin™ NX module, it delivers exceptional processing speeds of 70 to 100 TOPS with a power configuration 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™ 5.1.2 SDK, making the dream of edge AI in security and retail applications, such as sorting machines, security management, parcel tracking, and public safety, a tangible reality.

Envision power at the edge with NVIDIA^®

The computer 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 system-on-module (SOM) smaller than a credit card, conserving valuable space. Its robust, fanless design ensures reliability and durability, perfect for semi-outdoor environments.

Multi-connectivity is a must-have

AI inference requires connectivity to the cloud and other sensors or cameras. That’s why the AIEdge-X^®80 supports both M.2 B keys for 5G/LTE and Mini PCIe cards for Wireless LAN (WiFi 6E/LTE) modules to connect to the cloud, where more complex and time-intensive tasks can be completed. 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.

Build the best AI

The AIEdge-X^®80 supports development by including the most comprehensive solution for building end-to-end accelerated AI applications, NVIDIA JetPack™ SDK (version 5.1.2 or higher). The easy-to-use SDK contains the most updated developer tools, Jetson Linux, and other NVIDIA^® technologies while providing a full development environment for hardware-accelerated, edge AI development with its Jetson generative AI lab, pre-trained AI models, toolkits, and more. This will enable you to perform advanced inference tasks, like image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation, which are indispensable for numerous edge AI security and retail applications.
