en.Wedoany.com Reported - Advantech has officially launched a series of edge AI platforms powered by the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-9075 processor, including the AOM-6741 SMARC module, ASR-A503 and AFE-A503 robot controllers, and the AIR-055 edge AI system. Designed for industrial-grade visual intelligence, these platforms deliver up to 100 TOPS of AI performance and support up to 16 concurrent cameras, aiming to drive next-generation edge AI applications. By combining multimedia processing with AI, Advantech enables the transition from machine vision to real-time visual inference, with applications spanning robotics, automation, and intelligent surveillance.
At the core of the IQ-9075 processor is a highly optimized vision processing architecture. Its integrated ISP and VPU pipeline, combined with support for high-speed vision interfaces such as MIPI-CSI, USB 3.0, and GbE, enables efficient image preprocessing and high-throughput video streaming, thereby supporting multi-camera systems in complex edge deployments. Additionally, the powerful NPU delivers up to 100 TOPS (dense) / 200 TOPS (sparse) of AI performance, enabling computer vision workloads such as object detection, tracking, and optical character recognition (OCR) to be executed in real time. Together, these capabilities allow edge devices to process and analyze visual data with low latency, laying the foundation for next-generation visual intelligence and AI-driven applications.
The IQ-9075 processor adopts an Arm-based heterogeneous computing architecture, offering leading performance per watt for industrial edge AI. It combines a high-performance 8-core Qualcomm® Kryo™ Gen 6 CPU for complex data processing and multitasking with an integrated real-time MCU subsystem, enabling deterministic execution of latency- and safety-critical workloads. Designed for practical industrial AI deployments, the IQ-9075 processor tightly couples its real-time subsystem with the AI pipeline, ensuring predictable behavior, low-latency responses, and coordinated decision-making between AI inference and system control. This integrated approach provides scalable, reliable, and responsive edge intelligence for next-generation industrial applications.
To accelerate development, Advantech offers end-to-end software services covering everything from bootloaders and operating systems to application development, providing a fully integrated software stack to simplify and expedite edge AI deployments. The Advantech BSP Launcher provides unified tools for managing BSPs, images, and updates, streamlining development workflows and reducing complexity. Furthermore, the Advantech Edge AI SDK and Robotics Suite integrate AI frameworks, multimedia pipelines, and ROS2-based tools to support rapid application development. With modular and scalable software services, Advantech helps customers accelerate time-to-market and fully unlock the potential of IQ9-based visual intelligence solutions.
The AOM-6741 SMARC module, ASR-A503 and AFE-A503 robot controllers, and AIR-055 edge AI system are now available for sampling.
