DS-015 + ITD-2000 | AI Retail Analytics

Executive Summary

Retailers want to use camera and interaction data to improve store operations and customer service without sending every video stream to the cloud. A practical solution must process AI workloads at the edge, support multiple cameras and peripherals, and present information through a responsive customer-facing or staff-facing interface. Advantech combines the DS-015 edge AI player with ITD-2000 Series industrial touch displays. The DS-015 performs local AI inference and video processing, while the ITD-2000 Series provides a durable interface for guided interaction, application control, and operational information.

Based on NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX, the DS-015 delivers up to 157 TOPS of AI performance. It supports USB and optional GMSL cameras, 4K display output, rich peripheral connectivity, Ubuntu, NVIDIA JetPack, and Advantech Edge AI software resources for model deployment and system monitoring. 

The ITD-2000 Series complements this computing layer with FHD resolution, 10-point projected capacitive touch, glove support, fully functional USB Type-C, and a true-flat IP65 front with IK08 impact resistance. The combined platform supports AI-assisted kiosks, interactive retail guidance, onsite analytics, and customer service applications.

Application

Edge AI Retail Analytics and Interactive Customer Services

Customer Challenge

AI-enabled retail systems must analyze video and interaction data quickly while protecting privacy, supporting multiple sensors, and remaining easy for customers and staff to use. AI Latency and Privacy: Cloud-dependent processing can add delay, consume bandwidth, and increase exposure of sensitive video data. Camera Integration: Retail analytics may require several cameras with different interfaces, placement requirements, and data rates. Application Deployment: Developers need a supported software environment for AI models, video pipelines, benchmarking, and system monitoring. Interactive Reliability: Customer-facing and staff-facing touchpoints must remain clear, responsive, and durable throughout long operating hours.

Solution Architecture

The solution combines edge AI processing with an industrial touch interface so analysis, application logic, and user interaction remain close to the point of service.

Edge AI Processing

The DS-015 processes camera streams and AI models locally, reducing dependence on cloud connectivity for time-sensitive retail applications. AI Performance: NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and Orin NX options provide up to 157 TOPS for vision AI, speech, and generative AI workloads. Multi-Camera Readiness: USB and optional GMSL camera connectivity support real-time video analysis across different retail layouts. Developer-Ready Software: Ubuntu, NVIDIA JetPack, and Advantech Edge AI resources help developers install, run, benchmark, and monitor AI applications. Local Data Processing: On-device inference can reduce latency, network traffic, and the need to transfer raw video outside the site.

Interactive Display

The ITD-2000 Series provides the interactive surface for customer guidance, staff control, and AI-assisted retail services. Clear Interaction: FHD resolution, anti-glare treatment, and wide viewing angles keep application content readable across retail environments. Responsive Control: 10-point projected capacitive touch supports intuitive customer interaction and direct staff control of AI-enabled applications. Commercial Durability: A true-flat IP65 front, IK08 impact resistance, and 24/7 operating support suit continual public and operational use. System Integration: Multiple screen sizes, VESA mounting, fully functional USB Type-C, and built-in KVM control support kiosks, service counters, and shared control stations.

Business Value

The platform brings AI processing, visualization, and touch interaction into one deployable retail solution.
