Advantech has expanded its industrial vision portfolio with four new products based on Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ-9075 processor. The lineup comprises the AOMacousto-optic modulatorsDevices that modulate light using sound-induced refractive-index changes.-6741 SMARC module, the ASRautomated send receive-A503 and AFE-A503 robotic controllers, and the AIRautomated image retrieval-055 edge AIartificial intelligence system. All four are positioned for vision-centric workloads and advertise up to 100 TOPSTera Operations Per SecondA metric used to describe the peak operation rate of an AI accelerator. of AIartificial intelligence compute.
The common platform is designed around multi-camera processing. Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ-9075 combines an ISP, VPU, and NPUNeural Processing UnitA processor optimized for neural-network inference workloads. with MIPI-CSI, USB 3.0, and GbE interfaces for image preprocessing and video streaming. According to the source, the processor is intended for computer vision tasks such as object detection, tracking, and OCRoptical character recognition, while also supporting multi-camera deployments.
Advantech differentiates the individual products by their connectivity. The AOMacousto-optic modulatorsDevices that modulate light using sound-induced refractive-index changes.-6741 full-size SMARC 2.2 module includes four 4-lane MIPI-CSI inputs. The ASRautomated send receive-A503 4-inch single-board controller and the enclosed AFE-A503 support sensor connections for up to eight GMSL cameras. The AIRautomated image retrieval-055 is described as a fanless, enclosed inference system with multimodal inputs.
The processor also integrates an 8-core Kryo Gen 6 CPUcentral processing unitMain processor that executes program instructions and performs data operations. and an MCU1. microprocessor control unit2. mobile calibration unit3. microcontrollerA microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to execute embedded control tasks in electronic systems. subsystem for real-time, deterministic performance. Advantech says samples of the AOMacousto-optic modulatorsDevices that modulate light using sound-induced refractive-index changes.-6741, ASRautomated send receive-A503, AFE-A503, and AIRautomated image retrieval-055 are now available.
