First time NVIDIA® based computer for advanced autonomy will be seen in Europe.
Astute Systems is excited to announce the September 2024 launch of its GXA-1, an NVIDIA®-powered computer, which will be showcased to key stakeholders marking a significant step towards engaging with potential UK customers. These customers include users of autonomous equipment where fast real time edge processing is required including earth movers, so relevant to agriculture, construction and power sectors (including wind farms, oil and gas pipelines, solar technology), mining, as well as to shipping and logistics and border security.
Companies who have already made the investment in this type of equipment need to ensure that these high value assets can perform at peak capacity. Engineered for SWaP-sensitive (Size, Weight, and Power) platforms, the GXA-1 is the ultimate solution for enabling autonomy in harsh environments. Purpose-built to endure extreme conditions —including extreme temperatures, moisture, vibration, and shock—the GXA-1 ensures reliable performance where it matters most.
Astute Systems highlights that the GXA-1 is ideal for those content with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) systems. For companies with developers already familiar with the NVIDIA® Software Development Kit (SDK), the GXA-1 offers seamless migration, making it an attractive option for those looking to transition to a more rugged solution or seeking Modified Off-The-Shelf (MOTS) versions tailored to their specific environmental needs. Pre-qualification units with a developer kit are now available, offering a head start to those interested in early adoption.
Key features (see attached specification for full data):
- Based on the NVIDIA® Jetson AGX OrinTM Industrial SoM
- AI Performance 248 TFLOPS
- Mass storage options (dual M.2 M key SSD)
- 10 Gigabit Ethernet data plane port
- Multiple legacy analogue inputs ideal for existing DVE (Degraded Visual Environment) day/night cameras.
- Enabling autonomous workloads
Ross Newman, Founder of Astute Systems comments “We believe we have the best solution for autonomous machinery and deployment in harsh environments: the NVIDIA high performance; the perfect SWaP optimisation and proven technology. Or put another way, we’re faster, quicker, lighter and better value than anything currently available delivering the best performance per watt of any device in this class.”
