AI entry made easy
06 July 2021
LEADING PROVIDER of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), Kontron, will soon make its AI-platform available as a KBox PC based on an Intel Atom x7-E3950 processor.

The KBox is ready-to-use and can be integrated directly into existing X86 landscapes to quickly and efficiently implement own application scenarios around Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence at the Intelligent Edge. This includes, for example, image and video data processing for visual inspection, quality assurance, predictive maintenance, sorting or object recognition, as a stand-alone device or gateway.
With the integrated Google Coral Edge TPU (Tensor Processing Acceleration Unit) with up to 4 TOPS (trillion operations per second), the speed increases significantly compared to applications with simple USB cameras without TPU. In addition, the TPU supports small and low power applications and requires only one watt for two TOPS.
Unlike the Kontron AI-platform based on the NXP i.MX8M, which is available as a board product, the KBox A-203-AI-GC can be placed directly into the control cabinet or attached to a machine without further preparation.
