The AEC-8000 Series is a next generation industrial Edge AI computer built to meet the most demanding real time AI workloads at the edge. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor T5000 with Blackwell GPU architecture, the AEC-8000 delivers data center class AI performance in a compact, industrial grade platform, enabling instant decision making where latency, bandwidth, and reliability matter most. Designed for smart transportation, multi camera vision AI, autonomous systems, and AI driven infrastructure, AEC-8000 transforms raw data into actionable intelligence directly at the edge.
At the core of AEC-8000 is a powerful combination of a 14 core Arm Neoverse V3AE CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with 96 Tensor Cores, delivering up to 2070 TFLOPS (FP4) of AI compute performance. This enables simultaneous execution of multiple AI models, real time inference, and high throughput data processing, without relying on cloud resources.
To eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks in data intensive environments, the AEC 8000 integrates a QSFP interface supporting four 25GbE, enabling ultra high speed data ingestion and aggregation. This architecture supports over 64 HD video streams for simultaneous analysis, making it a powerful platform for vision centric AI deployments.
The AEC-8000 is engineered for continuous operation in demanding edge environments. With 9-36V wide range DC input, ACC / IGN ignition control, and rich industrial I/O - including CAN FD, GPIO, and RS 232/422/485 - the system is well suited for both fixed and mobile deployments. Robust thermal design and industrial grade components ensure stable, long term operation under sustained AI workloads.
Beyond raw performance, the AEC-8000 is designed as a future proof Edge AI platform. Support for Ubuntu and NVIDIA JetPack, along with PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage, Wi Fi 6E, and 5G expansion, ensures seamless integration with modern AI development workflows and evolving edge architectures. From today’s real time inference needs to tomorrow’s large scale AI models, the AEC-8000 provides a solid foundation for scalable and sustainable Edge AI deployments.
