AIM101 Intel N150 Fanless Edge AI Computer

New
SKU: AIM101

The AIM101 pairs an Intel N150 with an optional M.2 AI accelerator in a compact fanless enclosure. It has dual 2.5GbE, four USB ports and a 9–36 V DC input with smart ignition control.

Description

Product Overview

The Axiomtek AIM101 is a compact, fanless edge computer for machine vision and video analytics. Its quad-core Intel N150 processor and onboard LPDDR5 memory handle the host workload, while a dedicated M.2 PCIe Gen 3 ×4 slot accepts an optional accelerator for local inference.

Two 2.5GbE ports let integrators connect vision equipment and the plant network. The 9–36 V DC input, smart ignition control and optional DIN-rail or wall mounting suit installations with limited space or a DC supply.

Key Features

Intel N150 and optional AI acceleration

  • Quad-core Intel N150 processor with 8 GB of onboard LPDDR5 as standard.
  • Configure the M.2 slot with an Axelera Metis or DeepX DX-M1 accelerator. Hailo-8 and MemryX MX3 are available by project.
  • Axiomtek lists up to 214 INT8 TOPS with the optional Axelera module.

Wired and optional wireless connectivity

  • Two Intel 2.5GbE ports, HDMI and four USB ports connect cameras, displays and peripherals.
  • Optional serial, digital I/O and CAN interfaces can be specified for industrial integration.
  • The expansion sockets and Nano SIM slot accommodate supported Wi-Fi 6E and LTE configurations.

Fanless installation and storage choices

  • Fanless metal enclosure with optional wall and DIN-rail kits.
  • Choose SATA, NVMe or mSATA storage to suit the build. The NVMe SSD and the AI accelerator share the Key M slot.
  • The maximum operating rating is +70°C with the appropriate components. The minimum depends on the accelerator configuration.

Applications and Use Cases

The AIM101 can process camera data locally in applications such as the following.

  • Machine vision for assembly and inspection
  • On-device image classification and object detection
  • Industrial video analytics and monitoring
  • Compact inference nodes for equipment and automation systems
