Advantech MIC-715-OX ruggedised system delivers reliable AI to industry applications

1 min read

Advantech, a provider of industrial edge AI solutions, has announced the release of the MIC-715-OX - ruggedised edge AI system for applications in harsh environments.

Based on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX system-on-module, this solution features an IP67 rating for water and dust, lockable connectors for vibration tolerance, a machine ignition protection system, built-in PoE, and GMSL2 video interface support.

AI has demonstrated great potential in traffic, security, and manufacturing applications, but has so far remained in the early phases of its implementation within heavy industry.

Heavy industries often entail costly 24/7 operation in harsh environments that can be dangerous to employees, so AI-enabled autonomous equipment present an opportunity to improve this situation by augmenting the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of these industries.

In response, Advantech’s MIC-715-OX ruggedised edge AI system has been designed with these needs and in-vehicle AI applications in mind.

The MIC-715-OX is powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX module with AI performance of up to 100 TOPS. It leverages M12 connectors, supports operation in broad temperature ranges (-25 ~ 60 °C; 77 ~ 140 °F), and offers an IP67 rating.

Similarly, all of MIC-715-OX’s I/O are lockable, providing advanced vibration resistance. The MIC-715-OX also supports cameras via an integrated PoE port and will soon support up to 6 x Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link 2 (GMSL2) cameras.

These features make the MIC-715-OX suitable for applications in harsh environments. 

Advantech’s MIC-715-OX leverages a protective ignition mechanism for heavy industry vehicle use cases that reduces engine stalling and ensures system operation during circumstances with unstable input voltage. Likewise, users can manually adjust this solution’s ignition time via connected machines.

As a member of the MIC-AI series, MIC-715-OX provides flexible I/O, diverse peripherals, excellent longevity, and board support package (BSP) capabilities.

The MIC-715-OX is also capable of supporting Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE, and 5G simultaneously.
