Silicon Mechanics Argos Ruggedized Edge System

Edge AI/Inference system, MIL-SPEC ready

Processing AI inference workloads (e.g., computer vision, object detection) at the edge in real time while protecting equipment from environmental hazards (temperature, dust, vibration, moisture, limited power, etc.) is a challenge.

Silicon Mechanics has designed a custom ruggedized system that supports internals similar to current-gen vehicle-borne systems for field use. Operates on limited power, in a broad temperature range, and resists dust and moisture.

Benefits

Pre-configured for edge AI and inference workloads (computer vision, object detection, etc.).
More cost effective than AWS options, without vendor lock-in
Ruggedization or MIL-SPEC can be matched to customer requirements
Supports NVIDIA A100 GPU for optimal performance

Ideal Use Cases

Edge inference
Computer vision
Object detection
Anonomous sentry

Quality Assurance for Zero Defects

We build each of our systems to “zero defect” standards in our U.S.-based manufacturing facilities. Then we handinspect every order, testing them to ensure they are 100% operational and optimized to support rapid deployment.

Standard 3-Year Warranty

We offer a comprehensive 3-year warranty standard, with every system purchased. But you can add extended or custom warranties if your situation calls for it.

Enhanced Warranty

Available support for black site (no return) warranties and top-plate drive replacement.

Expert Included

Our engineers are not only experts in traditional HPC and AI technologies, we also routinely build complex rack-scale solutions with today's newest innovations so that we can design and build the best solution for your unique needs.
