Intelli i14 Edge: A New Era for Industrial Computers in Australia

The future of industrial computers has just arrived, and it comes in a form factor you might not expect. The new Intelli i14 Edge from AAEON brings workstation-level performance into a compact, rugged, and fanless design  a breakthrough that changes what’s possible at the edge.

At Embedded Technologies, we’re proud to launch the Intelli i14 Edge to the Australian market. More than just another box PC, this is a next-generation industrial computer that combines 14th Gen Intel® Core™ CPUs with NVIDIA RTX™ GPUs in a design small enough for mobile and industrial deployments, yet tough enough to survive them.

Performance Without Compromise

What makes the Intelli i14 Edge different is simple: it delivers both CPU and GPU power in one compact, reliable unit. At its core sits the Intel® Core™ i9 14900T, a 24-core, 32-thread processor capable of managing everything from real-time navigation and robotics control to heavy data logging and analysis.

Alongside this CPU, the Intelli i14 Edge integrates NVIDIA RTX™ MXM GPUs — the A2000 or A4500. With up to 5,888 CUDA cores and 184 Tensor cores built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, this industrial computer provides the horsepower needed for demanding AI workloads such as LiDAR fusion, computer vision, and sensor data processing. Unlike bulky PCIe GPUs, the MXM module ensures long lifecycle support and rugged reliability, all while fitting into the Intelli i14’s remarkably small footprint.

Rugged Design for Real-World Demands

Performance means little without reliability. That’s why the Intelli i14 Edge is built with a fanless, dust-free cooling system and an enclosure tested against IEC EN60068-2-64 vibration standards. Whether installed in an autonomous vehicle, deployed in defence operations, or integrated into industrial robotics, this industrial computer is engineered to operate continuously in environments where traditional PCs simply can’t survive.

Compact, Connected, and Ready for AI

Despite its small 205 × 190 × 70 mm design, the Intelli i14 Edge is rich in connectivity. With five USB 3.2 ports, dual LAN ports, and dual NVMe storage slots, it integrates seamlessly with the sensors, cameras, LiDAR, and industrial I/O hubs required in today’s AI-driven applications. From healthcare diagnostics to fleet management and smart mobility, this industrial computer adapts effortlessly across industries.

Why It Stands Out

The Intelli i14 Edge sets itself apart by bringing together what was previously separated: high-performance CPUs and professional-grade GPUs, all in a compact, rugged, fanless system. It’s this unique combination that makes it a true differentiator in the world of industrial computers, giving Australian industries the power to prototype, deploy, and scale advanced AI solutions faster than ever.

At Embedded Technologies, we’re excited to make the Intelli i14 Edge available locally — continuing our mission to deliver rugged, reliable industrial computing solutions that help businesses push boundaries.

UP Edge AI Toolkit – Seamless integration from software to hardware for rapid AI development

UP Edge AI Toolkit - Seamless integration from software to hardware for rapid AI development

The new UP Edge AI Toolkit gives developers a complete framework to build, convert, and deploy AI models across the UP hardware ecosystem. By combining one-click runtime environment setup, cross-platform model conversion, embedded benchmarking tools, and out-of-the-box compatibility with UP devices such as the UP Xtreme ARL, UP Squared Pro 710H Edge, and the upcoming Intelli i14 Edge, this free toolkit makes AI project development and deployment faster, simpler, and more reliable.

First Step: What You Can Do with the UP Edge AI Toolkit

One-Click Runtime Environment Setup
The toolkit brings together all required SDKs, drivers, and libraries for Intel, NVIDIA, and Hailo into a single package. With just one click, you can create a unified, platform-agnostic runtime environment ready for development.

Embedded Performance Benchmarking
Easily evaluate multiple AI models on the same hardware platform. Measure latency, throughput, power consumption, and thermal efficiency across Intel, NVIDIA, and Hailo solutions without needing to test each model separately on different systems.

Cross-Platform Model Conversion
Convert pre-trained models into formats optimised for UP hardware. With support for Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™, HailoRT, and NVIDIA® CUDA® Toolkit, the UP Edge AI Toolkit ensures platform-specific optimisation for maximum performance.

Integrated Edge AI Sizing Tool
Experiment with workload parameters such as batch size, precision modes, and accelerator selection without manually reconfiguring pipelines. The Intel Edge AI Sizing Tool, included in the toolkit, provides zero-code configuration, real-time performance insights, and an isolated testing environment so you can determine scalability before investing project resources.

Next Step: Choose the Right Hardware for Your Project

With the UP Edge AI Toolkit, you can build, test, and iterate across Intel, NVIDIA, and Hailo platforms quickly and efficiently, removing common barriers to proof of concept development.

UP Squared Pro 710H Edge + Hailo
Run advanced AI models on the UP Squared Pro 710H Edge, a compact fanless Mini PC powered by Intel® Processor N-series. Its onboard Hailo-8™ edge AI accelerator ensures efficient, low-power performance for demanding inference tasks.

UP Xtreme ARL (Arrow Lake)
Powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra 200H Series processors, the UP Xtreme ARL delivers up to 97 TOPS of AI performance. It’s ideal for next-generation robotics and AMR solutions, allowing you to optimise your applications with the AI models that fit best, across platforms.

Intelli i14 Edge + NVIDIA
Combine the Intelli i14 Edge, built on 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, with NVIDIA® RTX™ A2000 or RTX™ A4500 GPUs to unlock elite performance for advanced models, enabling cutting-edge AI workloads on a rugged, compact platform.
