A key highlight of the series is the APEX-A100, an advanced edge AI system designed for demanding industrial use cases:
- Powered by Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ9 Series Industrial Processor – Built on Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.’s industrial-grade processor, which is designed to deliver high‑compute, power‑efficient AI performance for demanding industrial applications, the A100 enables high-performance AI processing and advanced Vision-Language Model (VLM) capabilities for real-time scene understanding.
- High Performance with Power Efficiency – The Dragonwing IQ9-powered A100 delivers exceptional compute performance (up to 100 dense TOPS) while maintaining energy efficiency, making it ideal for edge environments with power and space constraints.
- Extended Industrial Lifecycle – Designed for long-term deployment, the A100 offers guaranteed availability and support through 2038, reducing the need for costly hardware redesigns.
“Through our collaboration with Innodisk, we are enabling a new generation of edge AI solutions that bring powerful AI capabilities closer to where data is generated,” said Anand Venkatesan, Senior Director, Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Together, we are helping customers unlock faster insights, improved efficiency, and greater operational control.”
Innodisk’s APEX Series stands out for its flexibility and ecosystem approach. As one of the few companies building across the full spectrum of edge AI computing platforms, Innodisk enables customers to select the optimal architecture for their AI workloads and scale seamlessly across deployments.
By moving intelligence closer to the data source, the APEX Series enables secure, real-time processing while reducing bandwidth costs and improving system responsiveness—critical requirements for modern industrial AI deployments.
