AAEON introduces BOXER-8150AI embedded AI Edge solution

June 18, 2019 – AAEON announced the BOXER-8150AI, the latest in the BOXER-8100AI family of embedded AI Edge solutions powered by NVIDIA Jetson TX2. Featuring eight USB 3.0 ports, the BOXER-8150AI is designed to maximize framerates by providing higher bandwidth for USB connected cameras.

The BOXER-8150AI features the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 CPU paired with 8GB LPDDR4 memory and 32GB eMMC storage onboard. The NVIDIA Jetson TX2 utilizes a unique design to provide 6-cores of processing power by pairing the Dual Denver 2 and Quad ARM 57 processors into a single SOC. The NVIDIA Jetson TX2 is capable of supporting up to 256 CUDA cores and supports AI frameworks such as TensorFlow and Caffe, and can be configured to utilize the customer’s own AI inference software.

The BOXER-8150AI has a configuration of eight USB 3.0 ports. The BOXER-8150AI is designed with four USB chips, each controlling a pair of USB 3.0 ports. By dedicating one chip to one pair of ports, each chip handles less data traffic overall.

With this configuration, the BOXER-8150AI is able to support up to eight USB connected cameras or devices, each operating independently of one another. This configuration is suited for a range of computer vision applications like visual inspection, quality control, and facial recognition.

The BOXER-8150AI features a COM port for integration into industrial systems. It also features a Gigabit Ethernet port and two antenna ports for connection to any kind of network, or even as a mobile device. Other I/O features include two HDMI 2.0 ports, an SD Card slot, USB OTG, and remote ON/OFF.

Built for Industry 4.0, the BOXER-8150AI features a fanless design and all aluminum chassis, making it tough enough to handle he rigors of any work place. It is capable of operating in temperature ranges from -20°C to 50°C and features an input voltage range of 10 to 24 VDC. With a size 30 mm thick, it’s another design from AAEON.
