The introduction of AI technology is accelerating in a wide range of industries such as medicine, manufacturing, logistics, and retail. , enabling real-time, low-latency insights.
Against this background, demand for edge AI computers has increased rapidly in recent years, and the range of applications for which they are used has rapidly increased, and market demands for functions and performance have become increasingly sophisticated and complex. Companies that develop edge AI computers are simultaneously developing multiple lineups in order to quickly respond to diversifying market needs such as environmental resistance, input/output interface (I/O) types, and image processing performance requirements. Although it is necessary to develop in parallel, different GPUs and I/O configurations are prepared for each prototype, and driver installation and software development are required for each combination, which lengthens the development period until mass production. , and getting products to market quickly is a challenge.
Advantech's "EPC-R7200", which uses a barebone mechanism, allows you to select GPU modules and I/O options, so you can develop multiple lineups of prototypes in parallel on the same platform. In addition, the "EPC-R7200" is the industry's first barebone PC that can be mass-produced, so the configuration of the prototype can be transferred to mass production as it is, making it possible to significantly reduce development time and development costs. , we can expect to accelerate the market introduction of edge AI computers.
Macnica will start handling Advantech "EPC-R7200" and will also start selling it as a set with NVIDIA Jetson modules (Xavier NX, TX2 NX, Nano), which we handle as an authorized domestic distributor. In addition, for customers who use these products in combination, Macnica will act as a point of contact and provide one-stop implementation support. This provides consistent support, including technical support from Macnica engineers with extensive experience in supporting NVIDIA products, such as isolating the cause of failures, and support for installing the software developer kit (SDK) that runs on NVIDIA Jetson. It is something to do. Furthermore, upon request, we can provide the Advantech EPC-R7200 with the NVIDIA Jetson module installed and operationally verified.
*Some support and kitting services require a fee.

Industrial Grade Barebone PC "EPC-R7200" Product Overview
The "EPC-R7200" is equipped with a carrier board that is fully compatible with NVIDIA Jetson modules (Xavier NX, TX2 NX, Nano) in form factor and I/F pin arrangement, and is provided by NVIDIA. software, NVIDIA JetPack™ SDK. The SDK is fully compatible with all Jetson series, and if you directly replace one of the three Jetson modules with the "EPC-R7200", you can use I/O without installing drivers or setting the function configuration.
The product also supports a wide operating temperature range (-40 to 85 ºC), a wide range DC power supply of 9 to 24V, and a high vibration resistance of 3.0Grms, and is ideally suited in a robust, high-quality aluminum enclosure (152x137x42mm). Provides excellent heat dissipation and ESD protection.
