Advantech MIC-733-AO & MIC-713S-OX Receive 2023 IoT Edge Computing Excellence Award from IoT Evolution World

Advantech, a leading provider of industrial edge AI solutions, announced today that both MIC-733-AO edge AI system and MIC-713S-OX AI solution kit have received a 2023 IoT Edge Computing Excellence Award from IoT Evolution World, the leading web site covering the Internet of Things (IoT) marketplace.

This award recognizes the companies emerging as leaders in the growing edge computing space. Companies selected for this award have proven that their products are enabling advanced IoT deployments by offering edge solutions that bring real-time computing, data availability, analytics, AI and machine learning to edge devices. 

MIC-733 Empowers High-Performance AI Applications with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin

The Advantech MIC-733-AO computing system leverages the powerful NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin to empower energy-efficient autonomous machines. These solutions accelerate NVIDIA AI software stacks with 4x the CUDA cores and 8x the performance of the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier modules. In addition, these solutions support multiple sensors and the latest high-speed interfaces.

What’s more, the MIC-733 system design is uniquely suited to edge AI applications. MIC-733 is a compact fanless system capable of enduring wide operating temperatures (-10 ~ 60 °C; 14 ~ 140 °F) found in outdoor/harsh-environments. It delivers flexible expansion slots and multiple I/O — including 4 x USB 3.0, 2 x Mini-PCIe, and 2 x M.2 to AI developers. Plus, the iDoor and iModule expansion; and support for diverse peripherals enables I/O module customization through the Mini-PCIe and full PCIe interfaces. This includes the use/modification of CANBus controllers, CoaXPress frame grabbers, or PoE modules for IP cameras. Likewise, in order to accommodate growing high-performance AI demands, MIC-733-AO’s features 4 x GbE ports for high-speed data transmission that allows 5G communication. In sum, MIC-733-AO leverages the powerful Jetson AGX Orin-based AI computing and advanced 5G low-latency capabilities to empower edge AI applications.

MIC-713S-OX Solution Kit Enables Proof-of-Concept on Different Deployment Environment

The MIC-713S-OX solution kit consists of carrier boards designed with the test-then-design mindset. The MIC-713S-OX offers as much I/O expansion as possible and all the peripherals are tested beforehand. AI developers can quickly integrate peripherals such as IP cameras, USB cameras, LAN cards, PCIe expansion cards, or 2.5”/3.5” SSD/HDDs, and customize them into the ideal form factors they want.

The MIC-713S-OX has 2~5 x LANs (4 can be upgraded to PoE for IP cameras), 6 x USB 3.0 (2 x USB at the front support up to 15W/port USB camera), 1x MIPI CSI for 2x GMSL2 camera, and 1 x PCIex4 for various expansions like LAN cards or frame grabbers for more I/O flexibility. The MIC-713S-OX has 1 x mini PCIe, 1 x M.2 2280, and a dedicated power that allows SATA ports up to 2 x 2.5”/3.5” HDDs. With all the tested peripherals and Advantech design-in service, customers can transform the MIC-713S-OX into different form factors such as AI NVR (Network Video Recorder) and AI robotic systems.

“The solutions selected for the IoT Evolution Edge Computing Excellence Award reflect innovation driving the fast-growing Internet of Things marketplace. It is my honor to congratulate Advantech for their innovative work and contribution to this rapidly evolving industry,” said Carl Ford, Community Developer, IoT Evolution World.

“Advantech's AI edge systems are dedicated to lowering the deployment threshold for AI developers. We put a lot of effort into integrating various video interfaces and building the AI ecosystem to accelerate industrial AI and mobility AI at the edge. It is a great honor to be recognized for the IoT Evolution Edge Computing Excellence Award.” Said Magic Pao, Associate Vice President of Industrial Could and Video Group, Advantech.
