Aaeon joins with Lips to accelerate Nvidia’s Isaac AI
Industrial vision and robotic applications are the target applications for an Nvidia Isaac certified combination of Aaeon’s Boxer-8240AI (powered by Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier), with Lips’ Lipsedge AE400 industrial 3D camera.
Nvidia Isaac software development kit (SDK) is believed to be the industry’s first robotic AI development platform to include simulation, navigation and manipulation. These features help Isaac SDK users to quickly program, train, fine tune, revise and deploy industrial AI. With Nvidia Isaac certification, the Boxer-8240AI with LIPSedge AE400 camera can help power and accelerate the development of smart factory applications, for example autonomous guided vehicles (AGV) and vision guided robots.
The Boxer-8240AI embedded AI edge box PC’s Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier features the 512-core Volta graphics processor unit (GPU) with 64 Tensor cores, capable of AI processing speeds up to 32Terra operations per second. The Boxer-8240AI is rugged and fanless design to operate in almost any industrial environment, with an I/O load including four Gigabit LAN ports, which are particularly useful for industrial robotics and autonomous vehicles and robots, notes Aaeon.
The LIPSedge AE400 Industrial 3D camera features a rugged enclosure and IP67 classification, making it equally suitable for stringent industrial environments. It supports Gigabit Ethernet with PoE, allowing for faster data transfer and flexibility in deployment. The camera has been used extensively in industrial applications including 3D vision guided robots and AGV/AMR deployment. Lips also provides developers a suite of software tools to help build inferences and applications and reduce deployment time.
Lips provides AI-enabled 3D sensing. It designs, builds, and customises 3D depth cameras, middleware, and provide turnkey solutions. It delivers customised machine vision and AI for multiple industries.
Aaeon was established in 1992 and designs and manufactures industrial IoT and AI edge solutions.
Aaeon provides industrial motherboards and systems, rugged tablets, embedded AI Edge systems, uCPE network appliances, and LoRaWAN/WWAN products. It also works closely with cities and governments to develop and deploy smart city ecosystems and with premier chip designers to deliver stable, reliable platforms, and is recognized as an Nvidia Preferred Partner.
