AI vision solutions leverage machine learning algorithms to analyze vast amounts of data rapidly and accurately, enabling the identification of defects, anomalies, and potential issues in real-time.

Portable AI vision solutions automate labor-intensive inspection tasks in smart manufacturing, speeding up production and enabling continuous monitoring without extensive manual intervention. This leads to improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced productivity with cost-effectiveness.

Requirements

A leading software integrator required a powerful and reliable Edge AI platform for enabling portable AI vision solution in smart manufacturing. The resulting joint effort incorporates Lanner’s industrial-grade hardware with the following requirements:

• GPU Acceleration:
  Deep learning models benefit significantly from GPU acceleration. The appliance must be compatible with powerful GPUs that can handle the AI inferencing tasks efficiently.
• Processing Power:
  The platform necessitates a high-performance, low-power consumption processor for real-time data computation at the edge. Additionally, it should support expandable storage to accommodate increasing demands, ensuring flexible scalability
• Abundant I/O Interface:
  The appliance necessitates a comprehensive array of I/O ports for camera connectivity, encompassing LAN ports, PoE+ LAN ports, HDMI, DI/DO, and COM ports. This facilitates the use of sophisticated AI algorithms for analyzing visual data captured by the cameras, enabling the detection of defects, anomalies, or deviations from quality standards.
• Wireless Connectivity:
  Robust wireless connectivity plays a critical role in the collection and delivery of generated data. Therefore, having low-latency 5G connectivity to communicate with portable AI devices, along with a cellular backup option, is important to ensure a constant connection.
