EIS is a software stack providing a secure environment for data access, analysis, arrangement and management. It can achieve nearly real-time event-driven control across different operating systems and several communication protocols. In addition, EIS is able to accomplish multiple tasks at the same time, including image processing, data storage and data analysis, for offering the modular data that could be used in machines, videos and audios. To support EIS to realize the best effect, IEI’s TANK AIoT Dev. Kit and FLEX embedded systems that are designed for compute-intensive workloads will be the best platform options.

The TANK AIoT Dev. Kit has rich I/O and PCIe x8 dual slot expansion while the FLEX-BX200 has PCIe 3.0 x8 and PCIe 3.0 x4 dual slot expansion, both of which enable flexible expansions based on users’ diverse requirements. The Mustang accelerator card, for instance, can be installed to effectually improve the computational efficiency by leveraging its high performance and low power consumption features.

Both TANK AIoT Dev. Kit and FLEX-BX200 can be applied to deep-learning inference computing and are equipped with Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit for optimizing the pre-trained deep learning model and expanding the mission to various types of Intel® platform to maximize the performance. The supported GPU card, Intel® FPGA accelerator card and Intel® VPU accelerator card provide extra computing capacity and point-to-point solutions. As a result, while equipped with EIS 2.0, they can rapidly collect, store and process a huge amount of data, assisting smart factories in performing more efficient work order scheduling to elevate product accuracy, in turn, helping lower down overall costs.
