Making edge intelligence easy
Flexible, quick and ready to go: Blox
Edge Intelligence projects require suitable hardware. In many cases, it needs to be individually developed and produced beforehand. Besides investing an enormous period of time, this also requires a high workload. With AI-BLOX, we offer a modular hardware platform that supports customers in the development of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence applications.
AI-Blox enables you to realise complex edge intelligence applications simply and cost-effectively. Save time and accelerate the development of your AI project. BRESSNER provides the following services to help you complete your project:
One platform – unlimited possibilities
Thanks to the modular design of the AI-BLOXplatform, the system can be fully configured and adapted to your needs. Currently, the system is built on eight different NVIDIA® Jetson modules and can be freely combined with the available interface and communication modules – allowing each system to be tailored exactly to the requirements of your application. Our configurator gives you an overview of the many AI-BLOX configuration options.
Interface modules
Processor modules
Communication modules
4 channel ethernet module
This module features 4 internal MACs connected with two separate internal USB 2.0 ports. This ensures a maximum throughput of 100 Mbps per port, making it a perfect fit for high-throughput camera vision systems. The integrated PoE PSE Type-1 makes cabling extremely simple.
4-channel USB 3.0 module
Get the most out of your Blox system using the USB 3.0 module. With this module, you can connect a wide variety of external systems like cameras. An optional input and output component provides additional integration options.
6-channel MIPI module
Connect up to 6 MIPI cameras with this module. Depending on the Jetson module, up to six cameras can be streamed. An integrated programming interface is included in the module. This allows you to debug and programme the Blox platform via its USB interface.
AI-BLOX platform
The AI-BLOX platform currently supports eight different NVIDIA® Jetson modules. As an option, an additional 7-inch touch display is available.
Gigabit ethernet + Wi-Fi module
In addition to GigE connectivity, this module supports the 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and BT 4.0 standards. Supporting the 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands, it enables Wi-Fi data transfer rates of up to 150Mbps, when receiving or transmitting.

Gigabit ethernet module
Providing a gigabit connection to your local network allows you to feed the Blox output back to your core systems and integrate seamlessly into your local network. The module is available in IP67 version.
Gigabit ethernet + 4G LTE module
This module expands Blox with a 4G LTE CAT-4 modem with GNSS support. This permits a downlink data transmission of up to 150 Mbit/s and an uplink transmission of up to 50 Mbit/s. Antennas are integrated into the module and it is sealed according to IP67.
