AIR-055, Compact Edge AI System for Vision AI and VLM/LLM
Please proofread: Powered by the Dragonwing IQ9075 processor with up to 100 TOPS, the AIR-055 edge system offers USB, RJ45, HDMI, and M.2 for connectivity. It incorporates MIPI-C, co-developed with Appropho and Orbbec, enabling direct MIPI-CSI connection through USB-C cable to 2D/3D industrial cameras without bridge ICs. Supporting 4K resolution and 200 cm transmission, AIR-055 is ideal for smart manufacturing, ITS, retail, public safety, robotics, and AMR applications.
AFE-A503, Robotic Controller
The Advantech AFE-A503, built with the latest Dragonwing IQ-9075 processor, is tailor-designed for outdoor AMRs and delivery robots. It features 4x Ethernet ports for 2D/3D LiDARs and PoE cameras, 8x GMSL for RGB/3D camera combinations, isolated CANFD, and RS232 for IMU integration. The 20~36V power design enables all-day operation on battery-powered AMRs. The product also offers Advantech Robotic Suite, which pre-built with ROS2, AI acceleration SDK, sensor node integration, enabling faster time-to-market for robotic applications.
The new Edge AI Solutions powered by the latest Dragonwing IQ-9075 processor will be showcased at Advantech’s booth (#6048), Edge Impulse’s booth (#5061), and the Dev Kit Zone at Embedded World North America, from November 4–6.
