GTC -- NVIDIA today introduced the NVIDIA IGX platform for
high-precision edge AI, bringing advanced security and proactive
safety to sensitive industries such as manufacturing, logistics and
healthcare. In the past, such industries required costly solutions
custom built for specific use cases, but the IGX platform is easily
programmable and configurable to suit different needs.
As the platform for safe, secure autonomous systems, IGX
improves human-machine collaboration. For manufacturing and
logistics, IGX provides an additional layer of safety in highly
regulated physical-world factories and warehouses. For medical edge
AI use cases, IGX delivers secure, low-latency AI inference to
address the clinical demand for instantaneous insights from a range
of instruments and sensors for medical procedures, such as
robotic-assisted surgery and patient monitoring.
“As humans increasingly work with robots, industries are setting
new functional safety standards for AI and computing,” said Jensen
Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “NVIDIA IGX will help companies
build the next generation of software-defined industrial and
medical devices that can safely operate in the same environment as
humans.”
NVIDIA IGX Platform — Ensuring Compliance in Edge
AIThe NVIDIA IGX platform is a powerful combination of
hardware and software that includes NVIDIA IGX Orin, the world’s
most powerful, compact and energy-efficient AI supercomputer for
autonomous industrial machines and medical devices.
IGX Orin developer kits will be available early next year for
enterprises to rapidly prototype and test products. Each kit comes
with an integrated GPU and CPU for high-performance AI compute and
an NVIDIA ConnectX®-7 SmartNIC to deliver high-performance
networking with ultra-low latency and advanced security.
ADLINK, Advantech, Dedicated Computing, Kontron, Leadtek, MBX,
Onyx, Portwell, Prodrive Technologies and YUAN will be among the
first embedded-computing manufacturers to create products based on
the IGX design built for the needs of the industrial and medical
device industries.
Also included is a powerful software stack with critical
security and safety capabilities that can be programmed and
configured for different use cases. These features allow
enterprises to add proactive safety into environments where humans
and robots work side by side, such as warehouse floors and
operating rooms.
The IGX platform can run NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, which
optimizes the development and deployment of AI workflows and
ensures organizations have access to necessary AI frameworks and
tools. NVIDIA is also working with operating system partners like
Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE to bring full-stack, long-term support
to the platform.
For management of IGX in industrial and medical environments,
NVIDIA Fleet Command™ allows organizations to deploy secure,
over-the-air software and system updates from a central cloud
console.
Building the Industrial EdgeNVIDIA is working
with a broad ecosystem of companies to bring the IGX platform to
market.
One of the first companies to use IGX at the edge is Siemens, a
technology leader in industrial automation and digitalization,
which is working with NVIDIA on a vision for autonomous
factories.
Siemens is collaborating with NVIDIA to expand its work across
industrial computing, including with digital twins and for the
industrial metaverse.
The collaboration will allow enterprises to complement work
carried out using the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform for 3D design and
collaboration and the Siemens Xcelerator open digital business
platform with the powers of IGX. The platform enables data
generated from digital twins in the virtual world to be used to
train intelligent machines operating in real-life factories and
warehouses using industrial-grade computing infrastructure from
Siemens.
Siemens is already adding next-level perception into its
edge-based applications through NVIDIA Metropolis. With millions of
sensors in factories, Metropolis connects entire fleets of robots
and IoT devices to bring AI into industrial environments, making it
one of the key application frameworks for edge AI running on top of
the IGX platform.
“As part of our ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA to speed
digital transformation, Siemens will bring IGX technologies to our
industrial compute portfolio to help reduce repetitive tasks in the
factory and better support workers,” said Rainer Brehm, CEO of
factory automation at Siemens. “By more closely connecting smart
devices on the factory floor and using that data for intelligent
machine operation in production, we can increase efficiency and
flexibility for our customers.”
Made for Medical Environments For healthcare,
the IGX platform supports NVIDIA Clara™ Holoscan — a real-time, AI
computing platform for medical devices — enabling the rapid
development and production deployment of new devices that deliver
AI applications directly into operating rooms, where over 300
million surgeries are delivered each year globally.
More than 70 medical-device companies, startups and medical
centers have already been using Holoscan to advance their efforts
in deploying AI applications to clinical settings and evolving
medical devices to a software-as-a-service business model. Among
them are Activ Surgical, Moon Surgical and Proximie, which are
building next-generation surgical systems. With Clara Holoscan and
IGX, Moon Surgical said it saved significant engineering
time in its imaging pipelines, management system and hardware while
developing its next-generation Maestro surgical robot
assistant.
“By harnessing NVIDIA Clara Holoscan to power Maestro’s next-gen
capabilities, Moon is creating an exceptional surgical experience,”
said Anne Osdoit, CEO of Moon Surgical. “This collaboration has
accelerated Moon’s time to market and allowed the team to focus on
developing novel features and algorithms, confident that
cutting-edge computing architecture is at the heart of the Maestro
System.”
