Advantech is using Nvidia’s Jetson platform in three AI edge systems to be produced later this year — the MIC-710IVA, MIC-720AI, and MIC-730AI. According to Advantech, these systems will grant AI application developers to rapidly create unique AI solutions based on Jetson. For cloud applications, Advantech’s SKY-6000 series servers with Nvidia’s graphics processing unit (GPU) enable the creation of high-density systems for big data aggregation. Featuring Advantech’s industrial design and Nvidia’s T4 GPU, these servers can resolve thermal issues mainly created by high-density GPU computing, according to Advantech.

 

These new announcements build on Advantech and Nvidia’s release earlier on this year of their AI Network Video Recording platform incorporating Advantech’s MIC-710IVA with Nvidia’s Jetson Nano. Nvidia describes Jetson Nano as a small computer on which different neural networks can be run in parallel for applications like image classification, object detection, segmentation, and speech processing. It can process using as little as 5 watts of power. “Advantech’s partnership with Nvidia is taking big steps forward in making AI a reality for manufacturing, transportation, and smart city applications. Through close collaboration in AI product development, Advantech and Nvidia are driving innovative transformations for AI applications,” said Linda Tsai, president of Advantech Industrial IoT Group.
