YUAN High Tech Supports NVIDIA IGX Platform for Medical-and Industrial-Grade Edge AI
YUAN, the world-leading video solutions provider, is collaborating with NVIDIA to bring safe and secure AI to medical and industrial environments with the NVIDIA IGX edge AI platform that delivers high performance, proactive safety, and end-to-end security in regulated environments. This lets companies take advantage of unprecedented amounts of sensor and operational data to optimize operations, improve time to insight, and reduce costs.
The first product under the NVIDIA IGX platform is NVIDIA IGX Orin, designed to deliver ultra-fast performance in the size and power envelope needed for the edge. IGX Orin is supercharged by the world’s most powerful AI computer for energy-efficient autonomous machines, with 275 tera operations per second of AI performance. It includes an NVIDIA® ConnectX®-7 smart network interface card to deliver high-performance networking for ultra-low latency and advanced security.
As a video solutions provider, YUANsupports various input sources, such as SDI, HDMI, DVD-D, VGA, YPbPr, composite, S-Video, etc., and provides 2K / 4K / 8K imaging solutions to gain insights from massive amounts of video. The company has been deeply involved in the medical and industrial industries for more than twenty years and is familiar with their needs and challenges. YUAN will have the opportunity to develop industry-specific hardware solutions leveraging IGX.
Meanwhile, YUAN has also been an I/O manufacturer partner of NVIDIA GPUDirect®, a Magnum IO technology for video capture cards, since the end of 2021. With NVIDIA GPUDirect remote direct memory access, data from video capture cards can be directly copied to GPU memory to reduce latency and enhance the application of AI recognition in the industrial and medical industries.
YUAN plans to work closely with NVIDIA IGX for low-orbit satellite video capturing and AI inference. Research from IEK Industry Consulting shows that since 2020, low-orbit satellites have circled over 3,372 times around the earth. The number of low-orbit satellites will increase by nearly 50,000 by 2030, and those with video sensors will take pictures 24 / 7. YUAN provides accurate and real-time video data and AI analysis for image collection and integration.
In the healthcare and life sciences market, YUAN supports 3D cameras that are used to render the operating surface and surrounding area to generate a surgical map, which guides robotic arms to accurately and automatically complete complex surgical operations.
Innovations in AI technologies such as deep learning have brought surgical guidance from video data into a new era.
In the industrial market, YUAN delivers edge-to-cloud video AI solutions for smart factories.
Millions of video sensors are built in the robot and machines. When a safety event occurs-for instance, a human walks into the field of a robot-reactive functional safety will shut down that robot and potentially the whole factory line. Integrating all video and AI results is a challenge for factory managers.
There are still many challenges in the design of edge solutions for smart video analytics in order to provide the required computing power for the inference of various AI algorithms, while also meeting the stringent requirements of edge application scenarios in terms of power consumption and size. YUAN will work with NVIDIA to bring a new edge to the industrial and medical markets.
