EdgeKit - A modular Edge AI Computer based on NVIDIA Jetson

EdgeKit is a highly modular edge AI computer based on the SOMs of NVIDIA Jetson product family. It powers AI software solutions with a hardware platform that perfectly fits every use-case without long engineering lead times and high costs.

  • Supports many SOMs from the NVIDIA® Jetson product family (Nano, TX2 NX, Xavier NX, Orin Nano and Orin NX)
  • Compatible with USB, Ethernet or CSI cameras for real time machine vision tasks
  • Select more than 30 different options for the best use-case fit using an interactive web configurator
IMPORTANT: EDGEKIT IS FOR COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS ONLY!
