ASUS IoT has announced PE1100N, an ultra-compact computer for AI (artificial intelligence) inferencing at the edge, and based on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin series. It features a design for quiet operation, rich industrial connectivity for serious flexibility and supports a range of power inputs and operating temperatures for maximum durability.
With the Jetson platform, featuring an efficient Arm processor and embedded NVIDIA GPU (graphics processing unit), PE1100N delivers energy-efficient computing with AI-inferencing capabilities, making it ideal for diverse, scalable edge AI applications in smart city, transportation, manufacturing and more including traffic analysis, people-tracking, counting and surveillance. Also, PE1100N’s compact size and anti-vibration design make it ideal for smart manufacturing solutions, such as automated guided vehicle (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), AI-powered automated optical inspection (AOI) and robotics applications accelerating time to market for AI applications.
ASUS IoT developed PE1100N to directly serve the burgeoning smart-manufacturing market, collaborating closely with NVIDIA. Embedded with NVIDIA Jetson Orin, a platform for AI at the edge, PE1100N provides up to 100-trillion operations per second (TOPS), low-power (10-25 W) computing for deep learning and computer-vision tasks delivering up to 5X the performance of previous-generation devices. It also realises up to 18X-better frames-per-watt efficiency than traditional x86-based platforms.
PE1100N also allows developers to run AI and machine-learning models by leveraging stock SDK and library tools, with minimal changes to the code empowering the Jetson platform to be adopted, facilitating projects from development to deployment. The NVIDIA Isaac robot operating system (ROS) SDK is also supported by PE1100N, enabling the development of ROS 2 projects.
Industrial-grade design with high expandability and connectivity
The ultra-compact PE1100N has a rugged design that includes a metal heatsink, and an extruded-aluminum chassis for efficient and silent cooling enabling stable, operation across a wide -20° to 50°C temperature range.
PE1100N is equipped with collection of I/O ports for diverse industrial purposes, LAN, DIO, COM, USB 3.2 and Type-A, and, on some models, CAN bus. It also benefits from a Micro-USB debug port for easy system maintenance. An optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth module ensures smooth, wireless and cloud connectivity, while the M.2 B key is ready to accommodate a 4G/5G cellular module including support for dual SIM slots. As well, support for GPS enables more precise device tracking and data recording for smart transportation solutions.
PE1100N is available in two distinct flavours powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, or Jetson Orin Nano so there’s a model to suit all AI-performance requirements. ASUS IoT also offers board-level configuration to fulfill bespoke customer requests.
