Empower Your Edge Applications with AI and 5G by Advantech's EI-52 11^thGen Intel^®PoweredEdge Intelligence System

13^thSeptember 2021, Taipei, Taiwan—Advantech, a leading provider of AIoT platforms and services, is pleased to release its newest edge intelligence system — the EI-52. This compact, high- performance system leverages an 11^thGen Intel^®Core i5/i3/Celeron^TMprocessor and plug-and-play system design. EI-52 is designed for edge-to-cloud interconnection as well as AI and 5G solutions. It comprises a hardware and software integrated package with EdgeX Foundry IoT plug-and-play open software framework and Advantech's WISE-DeviceOn IoT edge intelligence software. EI-52 empowers 5G and AI applications by supporting AIW 5G modules, Wi-Fi kits, VEGA AI acceleration modules, and the FaceView facial recognition I.App. Advantech's EIi-52 accelerates AIoT smart application deployment, data acquisition application development, and remote device management.

Pre-Installed Edge-to-cloud Interconnection possibilities to Shorten Development Time

Advantech's EI-52 features an edge-to-cloud integrated architecture that shortens development time. Using the pre-installed Edge X on EI-52 enables developers to connect edge devices to cloud services easily and reduces development efforts for proprietary solutions. Edge X supports over 15 types of protocols for sensing devices — including common OPC-UA/Modbus/REST — and has been tested on more than 20 heterogeneous devices. It further provides open device SDK to ease device integration using proprietary protocols. This intelligent system enables edge data pre-processing and analysis, and comes with pre-configured tools for quick connection to Ali/AWS/Azure cloud applications. This solution also provides the software/hardware integration capabilities and micro services architecture needed to shorten development times by up to 50% — augmenting the efficiency and flexibility of importing system applications.

Plug-and-play System Design Accelerates Application Deployment

Advantech's EI-52 is powered by a 11^thGen Intel^®Core i5/i3/Celeron^TMprocessor and supports Windows 10 IoT or Ubuntu 20.04. It delivers excellent expansion capabilities and high computing/graphics performance for use in environments with  extended operating temperatures (-10 ~ 50 °C/14 ~ 122 °F). EI-52 is also integrated with Advantech's WISE-DeviceOn. This software supports zero-touch onboarding, remote device monitoring/management, and visualized user interfaces. When combined with a plug-and-play design, these features help IT operators remotely monitor and manage EI-52 in real time, thus reducing deployment times in diverse applications.

Develop independent Edge Solutions with powerful AI capabilities

Advantech's EI-52 is compatible with a selection of optional packages that enable AI, 5G and quick-start AIoT applications. EI-52 uses VEGA-330 AI acceleration modules with Intel® Movidius™ Myriad X 2x VPU to empower AI applications. This low-power module equips EI-52 with additional AI inference computing power. Usable, for example, for Advantech's FaceView facial recognition I.App — enabling contactless access control applications for home offices and smart buildings, as well as VIP management for self-service kiosks. For connectivity, EI-52 supports technically an AIW-355 5G module with optional thermal kit but needs than to be RED certified. Further offers additional wireless capabilities using the EWM-W189H02E Wi-Fi module with Wi-Fi 802.11ac/a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 5.0.
