The world of industrial automation is evolving at breakneck speed. AI and edge computing are no longer distant promises. They are already running on factory floors, in warehouses and even along roadside infrastructure.
En daar komt de Advantech AIR-120 om de hoek kijken: een compacte krachtpatser die AI tot aan de rand van je netwerk brengt. Bij Microtron weten we als geen ander hoe je zulke systemen inzet voor maximale impact.
Small footprint, big performance
The AIR-120 may look modest, but don’t be fooled, inside is pure computing power.
Powered by an Intel Atom or Core i3 processor and paired with the Hailo 8 AI acceleration module, this system delivers up to 26 TOPS (Tera Operations per Second). The result is ultra fast image recognition, object detection or quality inspection carried out directly on the production floor without sending data to the cloud.
The AIR 120 enables fast decision making, low latency and highly reliable AI inference exactly where it is needed.
Built for industrial reliability
The AIR 120 is designed for environments where downtime is not an option. It operates effortlessly from -20°C to +60°C, withstands vibration and runs stably on a 12 to 24 volt DC power supply. That makes it just as comfortable in a dusty factory as in a high tech laboratory setting.
Connectivity and expandability are equally robust. Here is a quick overview:
- 2 LAN ports, including one 2.5 GbE
- HDMI and DisplayPort
- 4 USB ports
- 3 M.2 slots for expansions such as storage, wireless modules or additional AI acceleration
As your application grows, the system grows with it.
AI that truly works at the edge
One of the AIR 120’s strongest advantages is how accessible it is for developers. The Hailo AI Development Toolkit makes it easy to optimise models for edge inference without heavy re engineering. Combined with Ubuntu 24.04, it creates a smooth platform for engineers to build, test and deploy quickly. This is a major advantage for teams that need to move fast.
Microtron: turning hardware into real world solutions
Edge AI is not just about choosing the right hardware. Success comes from the complete solution. It is about model optimisation, integrating cameras and sensors, connecting with existing systems and ensuring long term reliability.
At Microtron, we guide customers through each of these steps. Our long standing collaboration with Advantech means we understand both the technology and its practical applications in detail. This allows us to recommend what will work best in each specific environment.
