KEY POINTS
- Powerful GPU: Powerful, high-efficiency AI performance for deep learning and computer-vision tasks, with code-minimizing NVIDIA Jetson Orin platform
- High expandability and connectivity: SWaP-optimized design, high expandability and connectivity are perfect for AI-powered IoT applications
- Perfect for edge inference: Ideal for smart transportation and smart manufacturing uses
ASUS IoT, the global AIoT solution provider, today announced PE1100N, an unmatched, ultra-compact computer for AI inferencing at the edge, and based on the next- generation and world-leading NVIDIA Jetson Orin series. It features a fanless design for quiet operation, rich industrial connectivity for serious flexibility and supports a wide range of power inputs and operating temperatures for maximum versatility and durability.
With the powerful Jetson platform, featuring an efficient Arm processor and embedded NVIDIA GPU, PE1100N delivers energy-efficient computing with powerful AI-inferencing capabilities, making it ideal for diverse, scalable edge AI applications in smart city, transportation, manufacturing and more — including traffic analysis, people-tracking, counting and surveillance. Also, PE1100N’s compact size and anti- vibration design make it especially ideal for smart manufacturing solutions, such as automated guided vehicle (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), AI-powered automated optical inspection (AOI) and robotics applications — accelerating time to market for AI applications.
ASUS IoT developed PE1100N to directly serve the burgeoning smart-manufacturing market, collaborating closely with NVIDIA, a top-tier AI-solution provider. Embedded with NVIDIA Jetson Orin, the world’s leading platform for AI at the edge, PE1100N provides up to 100-trillion operations per second (TOPS), low-power (10-25 W) computing for deep learning and computer-vision tasks — delivering up to 5X the performance of previous-generation devices. It also realizes up to 18X-better frames-per-watt efficiency than traditional x86-based platforms.
PE1100N also allows developers to run AI and machine-learning models by leveraging stock SDK and library tools, with minimal changes to the code — empowering the Jetson platform to be easily and seamlessly adopted, facilitating projects from development to deployment. The NVIDIA Isaac Robot Operating System (ROS) SDK is also supported by PE1100N, enabling the development of ROS 2 projects.
Industrial-grade design with high expandability and connectivity
The ultra-compact PE1100N has a fanless, rugged design that includes an exclusive metal heatsink, and an extruded-aluminum chassis for efficient and silent cooling — enabling stable, reliable operation across a wide -20° to 50°C wide temperature range.
PE1100N is equipped with an extensive collection of I/O ports for diverse industrial purposes, LAN, DIO, COM, USB 3.2 and Type-A, and, on some models, CAN bus. It also benefits from a Micro-USB debug port for easy system maintenance. An optional WiFi and Bluetooth module ensures smooth, seamless wireless and cloud connectivity, while the M.2 B key is ready to accommodate a 4G/5G cellular module — including support for dual SIM slots. As well, support for GPS enables more precise device tracking and data recording for smart transportation solutions.
PE1100N is available in two distinct flavors — powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, or Jetson Orin Nano — so there’s a model to suit all AI-performance requirements. ASUS IoT also offers board-level configuration to fulfill bespoke customer requests.
