Smart Farming Robots Application Note
Maximizing Food Production with Edge AI-Enhanced Smart Farm Systems
The escalating global population is amplifying the demand for increased food production, compelling the agricultural industry to urgently seek additional labor resources. However, the inherently labor-intensive nature of this industry has confronted persistent challenges related to workforce shortages. Exacerbating this situation are factors such as the aging rural demographic, diminishing interest in agriculture among the younger generation, and declining birth rates in various regions around the world.
To address the pressing issue of labor scarcity, it is becoming more popular to adopt agricultural harvesting robots. Aetina's Smart Farm System, powered by Aetina’s AIB-MX22, stands out by providing robust AI performance. Fueled by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module, the AIB-MX22 achieves up to 275 TOPS, facilitating server-class AI inference at the edge with minimal latency. Featuring built-in M.2 B-Key, M.2 E-Key, and M.2 M-Key, the system accommodates LTE/5G, Wifi/BT, and storage functionalities, respectively.
The inclusion of four PSE ports supports connectivity with four PoE cameras, while the 10GbE port ensures data transfer speeds of up to 10 GB per second, surpassing the traditional GbE port by tenfold. With a wide input power range of 9 to 36 VDC, the AIB-MX22 is well-suited for diverse embedded applications in challenging environmental conditions and climates.
