Industrial AI applications with the Jetson engine

April 9, 2021 - PRLog -- The intelligent control and monitoring of processes, machines and systems is increasingly based on large data quantities and complex algorithms, whose calculation requires specialised hardware and a high bandwidth for data communication. In particular, the provision and processing of image data from connected cameras poses the controllers used in the industrial environment challenges. They must be space-saving, robust and powerful and at the same time low-service and equipped with the essential interfaces. With the DLAP-301 nano, Acceed now announces a new AI platform with an integrated Jetson nano engine tailored to these requirements.

Equipped with the Jetson nano module from Nvidia, the new fanless DLAP-301 nano has a 64-bit quad core CPU ARM Cortex-A57 and an integrated 128-CUDA core graphics processor (GPU) with Maxwell architecture. Combined with 4 GB 64-bit LPDDR4 memory, the module achieves 472 GFLOPS processor power. Nvidia specifies 25.6 GBit/s memory throughput. Here, depending on the mode activated, power consumption is only 5 to 10 W.

The DLAP-301 nano can simultaneously be used as an autonomous NVR (network video recorder), which can also stream image data to the Internet if required.

The Adlink AI platforms products are available from the Official Sales Partner Acceed (www.acceed.com) in Germany. The company focuses on the industrial Ethernet, embedded AI, customised IPCs for the fields of automation, facility management, logistics, machine vision as well as research and development.
