Aetina Corporation has unveiled its latest edge AI solutions, the DeviceEdge AIE-VN34/44 and AIE-VO24/34, designed for industrial automation, smart transportation, and autonomous mobile robots (AMR).

These compact systems, powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Orin Nano modules, deliver up to 100 TOPS of AI performance and support four GMSL2 cameras. Their design focuses on rugged operation without the need for a fan, catering to applications where both space and reliability are critical.

Optimising industrial automation deployments

AI-powered vision systems are rapidly becoming crucial in sectors such as smart cities, transportation, and industrial automation.

However, managing high-quality video streams in limited spaces poses a challenge. Aetina’s AIE-VN34/44 and AIE-VO24/34 address these issues by providing a powerful and compact platform—measuring only 136.3 x 132 x 63 mm. Equipped with NVIDIA Jetson technology, these systems offer real-time AI inference, enabling multi-camera streaming and comprehensive environmental perception for applications like surround-view monitoring and blind-spot detection.

Facilitating long-distance image transmission

Their fanless design operates seamlessly in temperatures from -25°C to +55°C

The AIE-VN34/44 and AIE-VO24/34 facilitate enhanced system integration through their compatibility with Aetina-validated GMSL2 adapter boards and camera modules. These components support a plug-and-play approach, enabling efficient long-distance image transmission up to 15 meters. This streamlined integration approach reduces development and validation time, making the deployment of scalable and custom AI solutions more straightforward for users.

Engineered for both mobile and industrial settings, these AI systems combine ruggedness with versatile connectivity. Having passed MIL-STD-810H shock and vibration tests, and carrying E-Mark certification for automotive electronics, they are well-suited for integration into global vehicle infrastructures. Their fanless design operates seamlessly in temperatures from -25°C to +55°C, boosted by a wide-voltage input and integrated Ignition Power Control, ensuring protection and safe operation.

Enhancing AI computing capabilities

The demand for compact and resilient in-vehicle computing platforms that can process multi-camera vision data locally is increasing, driven by the convergence of V2X and edge computing.

The AIE-VN34/44 and AIE-VO24/34 are engineered to convert visual data into actionable insights for AI agents and autonomous systems. They support numerous functionalities such as surround-view monitoring, blind-spot detection, real-time obstacle avoidance for AMRs, defect inspections on production lines, and people tracking for enhanced security.

Future-proof AI infrastructure

James Ho, Manager of the Edge Computing Product Division at Aetina, stated: "As real-time, multi-camera perception becomes the sensing layer for AI agents operating in vehicles, AMRs, and industrial equipment, customers need edge compute that is rugged enough for the field and ready for mass production from day one. Aetina’s palm-sized in-vehicle edge AI systems bring four-camera GMSL2 support, automotive-grade certification, and NVIDIA Elite Partner-backed BSP support together in one rugged multi-vision platform, helping customers simplify integration and accelerate the deployment of intelligent vision at the edge."

The AIE-VN34/44 and AIE-VO24/34 are now available for mass production, supporting BSP built on NVIDIA JetPack 6.2, with upcoming support for JetPack 7.2, promising continued development and upgrades in edge AI deployment capabilities.
