Advantech has announced a new series of edge artificial intelligence (AI) systems powered by NVIDIA’s Jetson Thor modules. The company said the solutions are designed for use in robotics, medical AI, and data intelligence applications, combining hardware and software integration for deployment in industrial and healthcare environments.
The NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform provides up to 2,070 FP4 teraFLOPS of AI performance and enhanced CPU efficiency. Advantech’s new systems incorporate this performance into application-specific platforms pre-integrated with NVIDIA JetPack 7.0, remote management tools, and vertical software suites such as Robotic Suite and GenAI Studio. The company stated that the container-based architecture of these solutions is intended to improve development flexibility and deployment speed.
For robotics applications, Advantech’s ASR-A702 and AFE-A702 controllers are designed for humanoid robots, autonomous mobile robots, and unmanned vehicles. The systems support real-time AI reasoning, GPU-accelerated simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and multi-sensor integration, including GMSL cameras, 2D/3D sensors, and inertial measurement units. They also include Advantech’s Robotic Suite, as well as NVIDIA’s Isaac ROS/Sim and Holoscan for low-latency data processing.
In the medical sector, the company introduced the AIMB-294 board and EPC-T5294 system, which use Jetson Thor modules and NVIDIA’s Holoscan and MONAI SDKs to enhance real-time sensor processing and image analysis. Advantech stated that these platforms are suited for surgical robotics, 3D imaging, and diagnostic workflows requiring low latency and high precision.
For data intelligence, Advantech’s AIR-075 system is aimed at applications such as traffic management and factory automation. It includes multiple 10GbE and GMSL interfaces and supports integration with NVIDIA’s AI software ecosystem, including Metropolis, Triton, and Cosmos Reason, as well as Advantech’s Edge AI SDK and DeviceOn management platform.
The company also introduced the Advantech Container Catalog (ACC), a suite of preconfigured edge AI applications and development environments for NVIDIA Jetson platforms. The ACC is compatible with Advantech’s WISE-Edge Developer Architecture (WEDA) and supports deployment from single-node to distributed edge networks.
