Aimed at AI Market
Innodisk has launched the latest step into the AI market – the EXMU-X261, and FPGA machine vision platform.
Powered by AMD’s Xilinx Kria K26 SOM, designed to enable smart city and smart factory applications, the new device is set to lead the way for machine vision applications. Automated defect inspection, a key machine vision application, is an essential technology in modern manufacturing. Automated visual inspection demands a fast and highly accurate inspection system. With the help of AI solutions such as the new platform, product inspection can now be automated, achieved faster than the 3s/item currently the norm, and be entirely free from human error.
The EXMU-X261 comes with 1GbE LAN, 4 USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, 2 M.2 slots, a series of other expansion and connectivity options, and is tough enough for the harshest of industrial environments. In addition, it features support for Innodisk’s InnoAgent out-of-band remote management module, allowing the platform to be remotely managed from anywhere, even during a system crash or an in-band network failure. This is important for any automated system, as it allows for it to be completely unmanned, which further reduces manpower and maintenance costs.
Developers can get applications to market quickly thanks to the EXMU-X261’s full support for Innodisk’s AI Suite system developer’s kit, which includes an FPGA Model Zoo, as well as Innodisk’s in-house software solutions, such as iCAP (Innodisk Cloud Administration Platform), and iVIT (Innodisk Vision Intelligence Toolkit). iVIT for example, provides a deep learning environment for efficient development and deployment of “no-code-operation” solutions.
