Asus IoT unveiled the latest additions to its edge AI product lineup powered by the Nvidia Jetson Orin platform at Computex 2024. The PE2100N series and the PE1101N series are designed for a broad spectrum of industrial application needs, ranging from machine vision and automated guided vehicles (AGV) to autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and intelligent video analytics. With support for up to 275 TOPS (trillion operations per second), these systems allow developers to process data at the edge at lightning-fast speeds, and also deliver enhanced security and significant cost savings compared to traditional cloud-based methods.
Asus IoT PE2100N series edge AI systems
The Asus IoT PE2100N series is built for high-performance AI inferencing using the Jetson AGX Orin. This series features a SWaP-optimized design, capable of operating in extreme temperatures from -25°C to 70°C. The PE2101N model, equipped with a quiet fan, is ideal for intensive industrial applications such as sorting machinery, automated optical inspection (AOI), defect inspection, and object recognition. Meanwhile, the fanless PE2100N model is suited for harsh environments like mining and factories.

The PE2100N series features an Nvidia Arm-based CPU and an embedded GPU, making it highly efficient for autonomous machinery. It includes a comprehensive suite of I/O options such as CANBus, LAN, and PoE ports, making it ideal for applications for traffic management, intelligent security, and roadside unit use cases. Rich expansion capabilities, including M.2 slots for NVMe storage and 5G modules, enhance its functionality and adaptability.
The PE2100N series is compatible with the latest NVIDIA JetPack 6 software development kit (SDK), which offers easy-to-upgrade AI compute, a wide selection of Linux distributions, and enhanced platform security. The upcoming Jetson Platform Services will further accelerate AI application development with pre-built and customizable services.
The ultra-compact ASUS IoT PE1101N series is designed for maximum versatility in space-constrained environments for applications such as EV chargers, pedestrian and occupant safety. Powered by the Jetson Orin NX and Jetson Orin Nano, the PE1101N series, offers a wealth of connectivity options such as CANBus, GPIO, and RJ45 gigabit Ethernet for remote I/O sensing devices and extended device communications.
The PE1101N series features an M.2 E-key for integrating WiFi and Bluetooth modules as well as an M.2 M-key for additional storage. The wireless module ensures seamless cloud connectivity, while the external M.2 2242 NVMe with fast data transmission provides sufficient data storage for edge AI computing.
Early samples of both the PE2100N series and PE1101N series are expected to be available from August 2024.
Gadgets, gizmos, software and devices. I love all technology.
