Taipei, Taiwan – Leading provider of edge AI platforms AAEON has announced a strategic collaboration with The Imaging Source, a renowned manufacturer of industrial cameras.
The partnership follows confirmation that AAEON’s award-winning advanced fanless embedded AI system, the BOXER-8645AI, is compatible with The Imaging Source’s Acuva series of rugged, high-speed GMSL2 IP67 cameras. Through their collaboration, the two companies aim to empower customers by delivering reliable performance that facilitates faster deployment of vision-enabled applications in harsh environments in robotics, agriculture, automotive, and other embedded and industrial vision systems.
The Acuva series combines Sony and onsemi CMOS sensors (2.3 MP – 20 MP) with frame rates up to 100 FPS for high-resolution, low-latency imaging. With IP67-rated housing, integrated M12 S-Mount lenses, and coaxial PoC cables with FAKRA connectors up to 15 meters, the Acuva series is designed to deliver rugged and flexible deployment. Its 6 Gbps GMSL2 interface ensures high-speed, low-latency image transfer, and The Imaging Source also provides SDKs, drivers, and continuous support with a 3-year warranty.
When paired with AAEON’s BOXER-8645AI — a rugged AI computer powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin featuring support for eight GMSL2 interfaces via FAKRA connectors — developers can integrate vision systems out of the box, minimizing system design challenges. When paired, the solutions deliver superior image quality for inference-heavy applications in outdoor and mobile environments with variable lighting and weather conditions, including:
- Industrial & Robotics – AMRs, AGVs, factory automation
- Heavy Equipment & Outdoor – construction, mining, agriculture
- Automotive & Mobility – ADAS, smart mobility systems
- Transportation & Infrastructure – railway, maritime, and traffic monitoring
“When our technologies work together, customers succeed faster,” said Momchil Binev, Senior Product Manager at The Imaging Source. “By combining our industrial IP67 GMSL2 cameras with AAEON’s rugged AI computers, we remove integration barriers and empower developers to focus on innovation.”
“Our collaboration with The Imaging Source will allow customers to expedite time to market while also benefiting from the longevity that the Acuva series offers for more rugged applications,” said Louis Wu, Product Manager at AAEON Technology. “By establishing compatibility with Acuva industrial GMSL2 cameras, our customers will see the benefit of shorter development cycles, simplified integration, and more reliable AI vision performance in the toughest environments.”
