According to Market Research, the rugged edge AI computers market is projected to reach USD 5.8 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 19.6%. Driven by adoption in industrial automation, transportation, defense, energy, and healthcare. To address this demand, DFI is expanding its lineup with resilient and high-performance rugged edge AI platforms. The X6-ORN, integrates versatile I/O with multi-GbE supporting PoE and wide-temperature operation, delivering reliable performance for flexible edge AI deployments. The X6-ORN-GMSL adds built-in GMSL camera connectivity, ensuring high speed and low latency data for real-time video transmission. With optional out-of-band (OOB) management, both systems support advanced remote management for distributed deployments, and the X6-ORN-GMSL is particularly well-suited for smart transportation and autonomous vehicles, where secure, low-latency vision data is essential for safe navigation.
The lineup features two IP67/IP69K-rated rugged edge AI systems engineered for reliable performance in the harshest environments. Powered by Intel®, the ECX700-ADP operates from -20°C to 70°C, withstands 15G shock and MIL-STD-810G vibration, and provides rich I/O, secure M12 connectors, an external SIM slot, and a high-gain antenna for enhanced connectivity. Additionally, a forthcoming energy-efficient AI inference system based on NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX/Nano combines high compute density with proven rugged durability to drive next-generation mobility and transportation applications.
DFI will showcase its latest rugged platforms and embedded technologies at DSEI 2025, held September 9–12 at ExCeL London (Hall 1, Booth S14-130). Visitors can explore how DFI enables reliable edge AI, heterogeneous computing, and resilient operations across security, transportation, and industrial sectors, delivering proven performance and durability for mission-critical applications.
