Industrial Edge AI Computer DX-U1100 Series

Contec has started accepting orders for a new product that updates the software (JetPack / L4T) installed in the Edge AI Computer DX-U1100/DX-U1200 series (hereinafter referred to as this product) from November 12. This product will come with a pre-installed JetPack / L4T that has been modified to address the component change (DRAM change) of the NVIDIA Jetson(TM) module.

Contec has developed a fanless embedded computer equipped with the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin(TM), a System on Module (SOM) for embedded devices with server-class AI (artificial intelligence) performance, and will begin accepting orders for the DX-M2300 series starting September 13, 2024. This product is a fanless embedded computer featuring NVIDIA's AI module for embedded devices, the "Jetson AGX Orin." It boasts AI performance comparable to GPU boards for data centers, achieving approximately 8 times the performance of the previous generation Jetson AGX Xavier, with a maximum of 275 TOPS (INT 8)*. Utilizing our unique heat dissipation technology, including a large heat sink, it enables fanless operation in a compact chassis measuring 200 mm wide, 200 mm deep, and 65 mm high, allowing for two units to be housed in a 2U height EIA 19-inch rack. *TOPS (Tera Operations per Second), INT 8 (Integer 8); a unit that indicates how many trillion 8-byte integer operations can be performed in one second, serving as a measure of AI performance.

Contec Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has joined NVIDIA's partner program, the "NVIDIA Partner Network (hereinafter referred to as NPN)," and has become the first company in Japan to be recognized as a "NVIDIA Jetson(TM) Ecosystem Member," focusing primarily on hardware products. Since February 2021, Contec has been selling the DX-U1000/U2000 series, which is equipped with the NVIDIA Jetson(TM) module, as industrial edge AI computers. By becoming a member of the NPN and the NVIDIA Jetson ecosystem, which includes over 170 companies, we aim to further expand business opportunities through strengthened collaboration.
