2022: AIoT Gateway with Hailo-8 NeuroAccelerator for Edge (edge) High Performance AI Solutions

On March 10, 2022, the company RTSoft"," a strategic partner of the holding  Kontron""  Russia in and, CIS announced the launch of a scalable - AIedge platform based on the gateway KBox and AI-accelerator Hailo-8 to create systems (artificial intelligence AI). The AIoT gateway in KBox industrial computer A-150-WKL-AI-H8 format, in combination with the Hailo-8 AI accelerator, is a compact, high-performance and energy-efficient AI solution. The AI-Hailo-8 processor , which performs 26 tera-operations per second (TOPS) at a power consumption of less than 2.5 watts, allows edge devices to operate at the level of performance previously possible only on. cloudy servers The platform is ready for use in market segments such as "" and "," and smart building, and smart city retail transport industry Industry 4.0 power Smart Grid Microgrid, as well as many others.

The AIoT gateway KBox A-150-WKL-AI-H8 simultaneously with x86-processorsIntel Core from i3 to i7 (8365UE Whiskey Lake and others) installed a Hailo-8 neuroadjuster. In addition to pre-installed drivers and BSP,   a complete package of tools is available in the developer section on the Hailo website. The section for Hailo developers includes many preliminary trained neural networks (deep learning models in the Model Zoo subsection), a bit-precision simulator and a performance management tool data stream , a Hailo compiler and a high-performance Hailo "Tappas" application toolkit, which ensures the introduction of current AI solutions while reducing development costs time and bringing to market.

"Entering the market of the KBox AIoT gateway with the Hailo-8 neuroaccelerator corresponds to the next stage in the development of high-performance edge AI solutions. The platform can be used in many applications using Artificial Intelligence: from optimizing the power consumption of "smart buildings" and controlling the behavior of the operator production on to analyzing passenger traffic on HDI transport recognitions and controlling the actions of corporate transport drivers. Demand in such devices is growing every year, and now  developers of AI solutions will have the opportunity to use current technologies in this area. And for customers who, along with the gateway of the ON IoT RTSoft platform, need to get a special one with KBox that software provides a wide range of functions: from managing and updating the software on the AIoT device to, object recognition as well as custom software, our company will provide all the necessary capabilities, "- says Yakshin Yuri, head of IoT gateways and RTSoft servers.

If the customer needs a finished AI solution, the KBox A-150-WKL-AI-H8 AIoT gateways can be ordered with specialized software. For example, the OMGE video analytics software complex from RTSoft allows you to build systems for analytical calculations based on the results of object recognition using computer vision, automatic image analysis, and recognition algorithms on neural networks. It can solve tasks such as counting people in a room or in an open space, analyzing their movements and patency of specified areas, recognition for access control purposes. The software complex can be supplemented by functionality for generating reports based on sound processing algorithms, text information, and predictions. This increases the accuracy of reports by using Machine Learning.

In order to improve operational reliability and reduce administration costs during further operation of the created AI solution for KBox A-150-WKL-AI-H8 AIoT gateways, it is possible to supply optional RITMS UP2DATE software from "PTSoft" for remote automated upgrade of the operating system and applications. The software provides a secure upgrade of the OS and applications on the required number of devices (from several pieces to tens of thousands) connected through various wired and wireless communication channels.
