Today’s industrial environments need rugged and reliable solutions that can keep up with the demands of AI inference and computer vision workloads at the edge. Industrial computers capable of providing these needs are at the forefront of remote environments, excelling with the support of combined low-power processing, AI acceleration, and fanless design.
The AIM101 Fanless Edge AI System from Axiomtek supports computer vision inference at the edge and AI acceleration. The system is powered by the Intel Quad-core Processor N150 (Twin Lake), featuring an integrated SoC, which provides main CPU compute at up to 3.6 GHz for running the aforementioned tasks, aided by optional M.2 AI accelerator cards.

Axiomtek’s AIM101 in Action
The fanless edge AI system supports connectivity with Wi-Fi 6E, LTE, and 2.5GbE combined, enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfer, as well as wired and wireless deployments.
The AIM101 system features intelligent power management with USB power on/off control, which is designed to reduce power consumption and support remotely controlled devices. Additionally, the system supports a wide power input range of 9 to 36 VDC (typical 12/24 VDC) with smart ignition control for automatic startup/shutdown.
Ideal for edge AI object detection, image classification, and video analytics applications, the AIM101 fanless edge AI system supports the following optional M.2 AI accelerator cards:
- Axelera Metis M.2 module (214 TOPS at INT8)
- DeepX DX-M1 M.2 module (25 TOPS at INT8)
- Hailo-8 M.2 module (26 TOPS at INT8), by project
- MemryX MX3 M.2 module (20 TOPS at BF16), by project
Additionally, the industrial computing solution is packed with a variety of included and optional I/O such as one HDMI 1.4, two 2.5GbE LAN (Intel I226-V) ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB 2.0, and much more on the front side of the system with an optional lockable kit for 4 USB and 1 HDMI. On the right side, the solution supports five antenna openings for Wi-Fi/LTE/GPS, up to 3 optional I/O openings, and optional cables or module kits below:
- two 8-CH TTL DIO
- two COM (RS-232/422/485)
- twoCAN bus 2.0A/B
