Axiomtek, a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted to the research, development, and manufacture of innovative, highly efficient, and reliable industrial computer products, is pleased to announce its strategic collaboration with Axelera AI, a pioneer in edge AI inference solutions. This collaboration combines Axiomtek’s proven expertise in industrial computing with Axelera AI’s breakthrough edge acceleration technology to deliver cutting-edge AI performance at the edge, enabling advanced applications that demand high accuracy and complex analysis, including real-time public security, medical imaging diagnostics, autonomous driving, precision agriculture, and industrial inspections.
Axiomtek’s latest Edge AI system, AIM101, now integrates seamlessly with the Axelera® M.2 AI inference acceleration card, featuring a quad-core Metis® AIPU. This combination delivers data center-class AI performance directly to the edge, enabling real-time computer vision processing. The result is faster, more efficient operations, reduced latency, and expanded opportunities for AI-powered industrial automation.
Axiomtek’s AIM101 features a fanless design powered by the Intel® N150 processor and supports various AI accelerator cards with up to 100 TOPS performance via a PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 slot. It offers rich connectivity options, including dual 2.5GbE LAN, USB 3.2, HDMI, and wireless support for Wi-Fi 6E and LTE. The system supports a wide voltage input range from 9 to 36 VDC with smart ignition and flexible power control for USB and LTE devices, making it ideal for edge deployment. Its compact yet durable construction and operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C ensure reliable performance for machine vision, video analytics, and real-time AI inference at the edge.
Delivered by Axelera® AI, the Metis® AI processing unit is purpose-built to deliver high-performance compute capabilities while maintaining the energy efficiency needed for edge use cases. Metis is accompanied by the Voyager® SDK, which offers a user-friendly and easy-to-integrate environment for building a data pipeline.
“We are excited to collaborate with Axelera AI to deliver a scalable and efficient Edge AI solution,” said Joyce Lee, Product Manager at Axiomtek. “By combining our robust system design with Axelera’s high-performance inference engine, we’re enabling customers to deploy more intelligent, responsive, and cost-effective machine vision applications at the edge.”
