In recent years, the field of industrial automation has experienced significant advancements, with the integration of cutting-edge technologies enabling more efficient and intelligent systems. At COMPUTEX 2023, NVIDIA announced its latest compute module, the NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ Industrial, designed for high-performance edge AI in harsh environments. This new variant of the Jetson AGX Orin unlocks an even wider environment use case and is ideal for ruggedized applications.
The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin features an NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 2048 CUDA cores and 64 Tensor Cores. The Jetson AGX Orin module features 12 Arm Cortex-A78AE CPUs specifically designed for high-performance embedded applications. In addition to the GPU, the Jetson AGX Orin SoM also features dedicated AI accelerators, including two NVDLA engines and two vision accelerators. These accelerators enable the efficient execution of deep learning models and other AI workloads.
The Jetson AGX Orin Industrial module delivers up to 248 TOPS of AI performance with power configurable between 15-75W. It is form-factor and pin-compatible with Jetson AGX Orin and gives you more than 8X the performance of Jetson AGX Xavier Industrial (the previously available Jetson Industrial module). The compact Jetson AGX Orin system-on-module (SOM) supports multiple concurrent AI application pipelines with an NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU, next-generation deep learning and vision accelerators, high-speed I/O, and a unified memory architecture with high throughput. The new industrial variant of the Jetson AGX Orin module additionally comes with an extended temperature range, longer operating lifetime, and higher shock and vibration specifications, as well as support for error correction code (ECC) memory.
Industrial applications often involve the integration of multiple sensors, such as cameras, LiDAR, radar, and more. The Jetson AGX Orin supports a wide range of buses to ingest data, enabling streamlined integration of existing sources. This capability opens up possibilities for advanced perception, object detection, and tracking, improving safety, efficiency, and overall productivity in industrial applications.
The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin Industrial represents a significant leap forward in industrial automation. With its powerful AI capabilities, rugged design, and multi-sensor compatibility, it empowers businesses to develop intelligent and efficient systems for a wide variety of industrial applications.
