2022: Industrial-Grade Edge AI Announcement
On September 20, 2022, it became known that NVIDIA presented a platform for high-precision peripheral artificial intelligence IGX (Industrial-Grade Edge AI). The platform is designed to improve the safety and productivity of industry, as well as take medicine to the next level.
As reported, IGX is based on the JetsonAGX Orin module. This module allows you to work in conjunction with updated software that is integrated into most operating systems thanks to the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software stack. The platform can manage a single ecosystem of devices using the NVIDIA Metropolis framework, which allows you to create large-scale complexes, including smart cities.
IGX also comes with NVIDIA ConnectX-7 SmartNIC for a high-performance network with optimal latency and security.
According to the developers, due to the accuracy and low latency, the NVIDIA IGX platform can become the basis for the development of systems robotic surgeries such as Activ Surgical Moon Surgical and Proximie.
IGX is based on the MONAI and Clara Holoscan frameworks, which allow AI training based on medical data arrays (MONAI) and integration into ultrasound, endoscopy or robotic surgery (Clara Holoscan) systems.
IGX also ensures the physical safety of employees. For example, having received a signal from video cameras that a person is approaching the danger zone in which the machines are operating, the system will automatically change the trajectory of the robots and warn the employee, as well as, based on the data received, adjust the movement of the robots in the future.
NVIDIA operating systems Canonical Red Hat SUSE says it is working with partners in, and to provide long-term IGX support.
In addition, ADLINK, Advantech, Kontron, Portwell and YUAN will be among the first to create IGX-based products for industrial and medical device needs. IGX Orin development kits will be available in early 2023[1].
