Advantech is pleased to introduce its latest AI acceleration modules: the EAI-1200 and EAI-3300, powered by Hailo-8 AI processors. These modules deliver AI performance of up to 52 TOPS while achieving more than 12 times the power efficiency of comparable AI modules and GPU cards.
Designed in standard M.2 and PCIe form factors, the EAI-1200 and EAI-3300 can be seamlessly integrated with diverse x86 and ARM-based platforms, enabling quick upgrades of existing systems and boards to incorporate AI capabilities.
Using these AI acceleration modules, developers can run interference efficiently on the Hailo-8 NPU while handling application processing primarily on the CPU, optimising resource allocation. These modules are paired with user-friendly software toolkits, such as the Edge AI SDK for integration with HailoRT, the Dataflower Compiler for converting existing models, and TAPPAS, which offers pre-trained applicationexamples.
The EAI-1200 is an M.2 AI module powered by a single Hailo-8 VPU, delivering up to 26 TOPS of computing performance while consuming approximately 5 watts of power. An optional heatsink supports operation in temperatures ranging from -40 to 65°C, ensuring easy integration. This cost-effective module is especially designed to bundle with Advantech’s systems and boards, such as the ARK-1221L, AIR-150, and AFE-R770, improving AI applications such as baggage screening, workforce safety, and autonomous mobile robots (AMR).
The EAI-3300 is a PCIe AI acceleration card equipped with dual Hailo-8 VPUs, providing 52 TOPS of AI processing power while consuming up to 15 watts. Its low-profile design ensures easy integration into various chassis configurations, while its optimised cooling solution allows for reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -40 to 70°C. The module is compatible with Advantech systems and boards such as the AIR-510, AIMB-279, and ARK-3534D, making it suitable for demanding AI applications like medical imaging analysis, traffic monitoring, and defect inspection.
