4.7.1 - HSL RT IO System

In times of AI, Industry 4.0, Big Data, Deep Learning and further algorithm-based technologies, it sounds almost anachronistic if we refer to I/O modules, that is to say hardware classics. However, this assessment is not fully correct. Rather the opposite: the relevance and advantages of I/O architectures are also still apparent nowadays and are undeniable − even if the term is losing its attractiveness. Therefore, the German distributor Acceed also still banks on the globally used hardware from the experienced manufacturer TOPSCCC (founded in 1987) and its ExpertDAQ brand within its the professional network technology portfolio.

The use of computers within an industrial environment, specifically outdoors, under high temperatures or under the influence of vibration, wetness, dust and similar aggressive environmental factors can pose a great challenge. The German distributor Acceed has now added the model Nuvo-9650AWP to its programme, a cost-efficient IP66 controller precisely tailored to these requirements. Moreover, various options and extension opportunities allow targeted configuration and adaptation to specific use scenarios.

Vehicles which are used for industrial purposes, whether transport, warehouse logistics or further tasks, are increasingly developing as moving computers. Their performance is becoming increasingly dependent on the functions of the computer systems used and their peripherals, such as cameras and further sensors. Internal vehicle applications range from vehicle fleet management to navigation and monitoring, all of which are important functions which nobody wishes to relinquish nowadays. The German distributor Acceed offers the new series of compact industrial AI platforms with the name NRU-51V+ for this purpose. The robust and fanless controllers for GMSL2 cameras are tailored precisely to these tasks with their Nvidia high-performance type Jetson Orin or Xavier modules.

The inference AI controller Nuvo-9166GC is the latest model from the renowned manufacturer Neousys and now available from the German distributor Acceed. Above all, its combination of robustness meeting industry requirements, individual expansion options for example for cameras, and server-based inference performance as required for current and future artificial intelligence. The platform, which can be configured in accordance with the customers’ wishes supports the latest GPU card 1.4 from Nvidia and provides the 13th generation (Raptor Lake) with a processor power of up to 30 TeraFLOPS.

For increasingly efficiently working automation based on artificial intelligence, above-all performant hardware for Edge AI applications is gaining significance. In this context, the German distributor Acceed has now augmented its portfolio with the Nuvo-10208GC, a further latest generation robust platform, which makes a wide range of demanding applications possible. Autonomous driving, optical quality inspection and the monitoring of traffic and material flows are just some of the complex tasks for which the Nuvo-10208GC can provide its strong computing capacity supported by two GPUs.
