The New Edge AI Paradigm: AI-X, EdgeGPT

NEXCOM’s AI-X simplifies GenAI and LLM deployment and management at the edge, providing organizations with a powerful and flexible language model assistant and knowledge-based answer and responses. It integrates retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) functionality, enabling AI-X to reference internal knowledge bases uploaded by users. This functionality is particularly valuable for industries requiring stringent IP protection.

AI-X uses Ollama as its LLM loader, allowing businesses to choose from advanced models such as Llama 3, Qwen2, LlaVA, Code Llama, and Mistral. This flexibility empowers companies to tailor AI-X to meet diverse LLM requirements, supporting everything from legal document retrieval to a real-time manufacturing process matrix.

The AI-X platform is designed for easy deployment, featuring a GPT-like web interface for streamlined device configuration, smart dashboards for system monitoring, and granular user permissions for enhanced data control. Running locally on the network edge, AI-X reduces the security risks associated with cloud-based AI systems, providing offline capabilities that ensure data privacy and security.

Ensuring PID and IP Protection Across Key Industries and Manufacturing

In sectors like technology, healthcare, finance, legal, academic and manufacturing applications, safeguarding Personally Identifiable Data (PID) and Intellectual Property (IP) is crucial. NEXCOM’s  AI-X keeps data processing locally at the network edge, minimizing exposure to cloud-based risks such as data breaches and external cyber threats.

For manufacturing, AI-X enables real-time analysis of production data while ensuring compliance with stringent security requirements. Its support for customizable AI models via Ollama’s LLM loader allows plant managers to fine-tune AI models for a MoM (Management of Manufacturing) matrix, from monitoring shopfloor/factory systems to managing sensitive parameters and profit-related matrices, all while operating securely offline.

Designed for seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures, AI-X enables industries to leverage the power of edge AI without sacrificing control over sensitive information. Whether safeguarding IP in tech and legal sectors or analyzing manufacturing processes, AI-X offers a versatile solution.

Wide Variety of Innovative AI and IoT Solutions

At Embedded World, NEXCOM will showcase a range of smart manufacturing solutions, highlighting IoT automation, AI-driven cybersecurity, and edge computing. Featured products include the NISE 54, IoT Gateway and collaborative robot safety systems, addressing the rising threat of AI-driven cyberattacks on operational technology (OT) assets.

The company will also display its smart city and next-generation AI-powered rugged transportation solutions, such as the recently-announced NDiS B339, visual edge computer and the AI in Mobility solution: ATC 3750-IP7-6C, IP67 railway computer.

Live Demos of AI-Driven Security, Edge AI Controller, and NVIDIA Jetson Integration

Visitors to NEXCOM’s booth can experience live demos of AI-powered security solutions, including The EdgeGPT SaaS AI Coursework Consultant, an AI-driven cyber attack protection solution for OT Security, the On-premises AI Intelligent Operations Center Assistant, and NEXCOM’s production line monitoring system.

Alongside these OT Security solutions NEXCOM will be showcasing new systems powered by the NVIDIA Jetson platform for edge AI and robotics. NEXCOM’s Coeus 3801T is a powerful edge AI controller powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX system-on-module, providing up to 8 power over Ethernet (PoE) ports for camera input in a compact design that is fanless and quiet. Moreover, this product benefits from NexAIoT real-time OS, NexRTOS, enabling edge AI in factory automation.
