EDGE AI - Simplify development. Amplify performance.
Engineers are pushing the boundaries of AI - and taking it to the Edge.
Here, data can be processed quickly, safely and cost-effectively for near-instantaneous decision-making, offering clear advantages over cloud-based approaches.
Now, engineers can build Edge AI projects faster, smarter, and more securely with the ASTRIAL AI Accelerator System on Module (SoM) from EBV Elektronik.
ASTRIAL will help to:
- Get to market quicker with an easy-to-integrate CM4-compatible solution
- Perform AI tasks at the Edge with no latency for data privacy and protection
- Maximize performance while conserving power with energy-efficient hardware
- Scale quickly and easily, from single devices to large-scale applications
- Keep costs low through optimized hardware with minimal complexity
ASTRIAL explained: Delivering EDGE AI that works for you
Developed for EBV by System Electronics in partnership with NXP, Hailo and Micron, ASTRIAL brings powerful real-time edge computing directly to your applications.
Tailored for demanding processing tasks, it eliminates latency, enabling smart on-the-spot processing and helps to protect product data security, ensuring privacy.
The advanced SoM is a flexible and scalable solution, too. From single devices to large-scale networks, it allows for robust Edge AI solutions to be deployed easily, all while maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing operational costs.
ASTRIAL’s intuitive setup, extensive peripheral options (including vision capabilities), industrial temperature range, and Raspberry Pi hardware ecosystem compatibility help to drive the development of a wide variety of intelligent commercial and industrial solutions.
