IEI to Showcase Edge AI Industrial Safety and ROS 2 Robotics Control Applications at Mitsubishi Electric Booth During Automation Taipei 2026

NEW TAIPEI CITY, August 14, 2026 —— IEI Integration Corp., a leading global provider of industrial computers, will participate in Automation Taipei 2026 from August 19 to 22 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1, 4F. At Mitsubishi Electric booth M820, IEI will showcase applications featuring ROS 2 robotic arm control and AI-powered industrial safety.

IEI Edge Computing Platforms Partner with Mitsubishi Electric MELFA Robots to Drive Smart Manufacturing and Build Sustainable Industrial Safety

The live demonstration is powered by IEI TANK-XM811 embedded edge computing system, integrated with the AiEi Intelligent Vision Software Platform and Mitsubishi Electric MELFA robotic arms. Together, these technologies deliver a complete closed-loop workflow that encompasses environmental perception, edge AI processing, and real-time physical equipment response. To address critical pain points in industrial automation upgrades, this solution introduces two core technological breakthroughs:

1. ROS 2 Real-Time Communication Integration and 10-Year Long-Term Support

   Engineered for ROS 2 applications, the TANK-XM811 incorporates low-level communication optimizations together with TCC/TSN real-time communication technologies, enabling millisecond-level synchronization between sensor data and control commands to meet the stringent low-latency requirements of robotic control. The platform also provides up to 10 years of long-term security update support, helping industrial systems maintain long-term operational stability and robust cybersecurity protection.

2. Built-in Edge AI Safety Protection and Rapid Cross-System Interoperability

   The system features high-performance AI models for industrial safety applications. Through the AiEi software platform, it can detect potential risks such as personnel entering restricted work zones or failing to wear required safety helmets and reflective vests, with no model retraining required. A rapid AI integration interface also enables communication with the Mitsubishi Electric MELFA Smart Plus robot control system and peripheral equipment, either locally or over the factory network. AI detection results can be translated into equipment control signals in real time, allowing robotic arms to perform predefined protective actions such as slowing down or stopping.

Through the seamless integration of TANK-XM811, AiEi, and ROS 2, IEI demonstrates how Edge AI can extend beyond visual recognition and real-time decision-making to physical equipment control. AI can not only detect abnormalities on the factory floor, but also trigger immediate equipment responses, enabling manufacturers and system integrators (SIs) enhance human-robot collaboration safety while maintaining automation efficiency and precise real-time control.
