New high-performance edge-AI GPU computer for demanding AI applications

FORTEC Integrated offers the new PE8000G from ASUS IoT. This state-of-the-art Edge-AI GPU computer has been developed for use in harsh industrial environments. With its robust construction and exceptional computing power, the device allows real-time AI inferences directly at the network edge.

"It supports up to two 450W GPU cards as well as the latest Intel Core processors from the 14th, 13th, and 12th generations," explained Thomas Schrefel, product manager Embedded at FORTEC Integrated. "This makes it ideal for data-intensive, AI-driven applications." Typical applications include medical technology, smart industrial systems, video surveillance, and transportation systems.

The series includes several system variants, such as the PE6000G, PE5101D, PE5100D, and PE4000G, catering to different performance and configuration requirements.

The device is created to handle the most demanding AI tasks. With the ability to support two high-performance GPU cards, each with up to 450W, the system is suited for neural networks, advanced image processing, and real-time AI inferences. Tasks can be intelligently distributed across GPUs and processed in real-time, ensuring maximum performance, stability, and precision. Also, it ensures future-proof applications by fulfilling the ever-growing demands for computing power. With powerful Intel Core processors and up to 64GB of DDR5-SDRAM, this Edge-AI computer is ideal for extremely data-intensive computations.

The device is engineered for extreme environments and complies with the MIL-STD-810H standard. It can operate within a wide temperature range of -20C to 60C and is resistant to strong vibrations and shocks.

The box PC also features an 8-48V wide-range DC input and integrated ignition control and power monitoring functions. Four hot-swappable 2.5" SSD slots enable uninterrupted data availability and fast storage expansion – crucial for highly reliable scenarios.

In addition to Intel-based architectures, ASUS IoT offers NVIDIA-based solutions specifically developed for Edge-AI applications. These systems combine ARM-based CPUs with NVIDIA GPUs, providing exceptional energy efficiency and performance ranging from 20 to 275 TOPS/Watt. The Jetson series is robust and versatile, supporting various applications from real-time analytics to complex image processing.
