From powering automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to factory safety and automation, explore the key hardware design elements that set these systems apart, highlighting their versatility, reliability, and engineering ingenuity.
Compact, Durable, and Fanless Design
Both the VIA AMOS-9100 and VIA AMOS-9000 feature fanless designs that ensure reliable operation in harsh environments. These systems are built to withstand extreme temperatures, with an operating range of -20°C to 60°C. Their compact dimensions (150mm x 66.7mm x 105.2mm) (5.90″ x 2.62″ x 4.14″) and aluminum alloy chassis not only provide robust durability but also facilitate efficient heat dissipation, making them ideal for industrial use.
Adding to their robustness, these systems support a high-reliability 6DOF inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor, including gyroscopes with a range of ±250 to ±2000 dps and accelerometers with a range of ±2 to ±16 g. This capability enhances navigation, motion detection, and orientation tracking in applications such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation, where precise motion data is critical.
To accommodate diverse installation scenarios, the systems offer both VESA (75 x 75mm) and DIN mounting options. This versatility ensures seamless integration into various environments, from factory floors to remote edge AI deployments.
Connectivity Redefined
Connectivity is a cornerstone of the VIA AMOS-9100 and AMOS-9000, offering a diverse range of features to meet modern industrial demands:
Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports with PoE: PoE (Power over Ethernet) capabilities allow for direct connection to PoE-enabled devices like cameras without additional power requirements. This simplifies deployments and reduces cabling complexity.
This is useful in locations with limited access to electrical outlets, or in confined spacing without much room for additional wiring.
Flexible COM Ports: Dual COM ports (RS-232/422/485) with selectable modes enable seamless integration with both legacy and modern devices.
Advanced Communication Features: The AMOS-9100 and AMOS-9000 both support optional Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and 5G connectivity, ensuring reliable wireless communication for industrial applications. Additionally, the AMOS-9100 offers optional LoRa for long-range, low-power communication, expanding its versatility in remote deployments.
These connectivity options empower users to deploy these systems across diverse industrial and edge applications.
Expanding Possibilities with I/O and Modularity
The VIA AMOS-9100 and AMOS-9000 excel in modularity and expandability, making them ideal for environments requiring customization:
Extensive I/O Options: With features like CAN/UART ports, 4 DI (Digital Input), and 4 DO (Digital Output), these systems provide seamless control and integration with external devices. Additionally, the 3.5mm TRRS port supports both audio input and output.
Modular Design: The systems feature bottom shells that can be disassembled separately, allowing easy access for upgrading Wi-Fi, 4G, or LoRa modules. The support for NVMe SSDs further enhances their storage capabilities, catering to data-heavy applications.
Multiple M.2 Slots: These slots allow the addition of wireless modules or other peripherals, offering unmatched flexibility for diverse industrial use cases.
Cutting-Edge AI and Processing Power
Powered by NVIDIA Jetson platforms, the VIA AMOS-9100 and AMOS-9000 deliver exceptional AI and computational performance:
AMOS-9100: With the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, this system delivers up to 70 TOPS, catering to demanding Edge AI applications such as AMRs and AGVs.
AMOS-9000: Equipped with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, it provides up to 40 TOPS of AI performance, making it ideal for factory safety and automation tasks.
The AMOS-9100 leverages NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Accelerator (NVDLA) and Programmable Vision Accelerator (PVA) for optimized AI performance, enabling real-time processing and decision-making.
Power Efficiency and Management
Reliable power management is another hallmark of these systems:
Flexible Power Input: Both systems support a wide input voltage range of 12~24V, optionally extended to 9~36V for broader compatibility.
The optional extended voltage range is particularly useful in scenarios where power supply conditions vary, such as vehicle and fleet deployments, remote and off-grid installations, and non-standard factory and machinery environments.
Operational Reliability: Features like system power buttons, external power-on capabilities, and automatic power-on modes ensure uninterrupted operation, even in remote setups.
These design choices contribute to their energy efficiency, reliability, and adaptability in diverse deployment scenarios.
