Membership in the NVIDIA® Partner Network

Publish Date:
November 30, 2023

Our membership in the NVIDIA® Partner Network paired with our expertise in ruggedized embedded computing systems design and enclosure packaging, enables us to offer deployable rugged AI embedded computing platforms based on NVIDIA® Jetson™ modules specifically designed for applications that need to operate reliably regardless of the deployed environment.

Advances in AI and computationally intensive data processing for deep learning are enabling faster adoption of capabilities like object detection/recognition and navigation of autonomous vehicles. Applications in agriculture, automotive, construction and mining, industrial, and military and defense require platform solutions that absolutely require reliable operation in challenging environments.

Companies in these industries are leveraging Elma's deep expertise in industrial and rugged-grade embedded computing platforms and enclosures for their next-gen designs. Using NVIDIA® Jetson™ family AI and video compute system-on-modules (SOMs), we deliver highly reliable, high-performance embedded computing platforms that are qualified to operate reliably across a range of industrial and environmentally harsh environments (extended temperatures, high shock and vibration, and ingress protection from water, sand, dust, salt, fog, and chemical contaminants).

Elma Electronic is a global leader in ruggedized embedded computing systems and proud to be a member of the NVIDIA Partners Program.  Our NVIDIA powered AI processors are designed to operate in the most challenging environments.  Whether your application environment is a factory floor, an autonomous taxi, mounted on a mining or agriculture vehicle, or deployed on a military aircraft or ground vehicle, Elma has an NVIDIA based AI solution to meet your needs.

Upgrades and Enhancements for Legacy VME and CPCI Ethernet Switches

Get reliable alternatives to end-of-life (EOL) embedded Ethernet switches, designed to maintain performance and longevity in mission-critical systems.

In the past few years, several end-of-life (EOL) announcements in the embedded computing market have both caused angst and opportunity. Making the shift away from a tried-and-true solution always brings with it the need to review not only the mechanical elements of an embedded system, but the integration and networking elements as well. And when that review is forced upon a designer, as in the case of an EOL announcement, it may mean forced choices of not-as-optimum alternatives. Or it could be something different altogether.

Applying the Computing Power of AI to Demanding Industrial Environments

The AI computing systems helps in enhancing the industrial demands to meet the industry standards by offering high performing processors and system components

Rugged platforms for demanding applications have historically been constrained by the limited operational temperature ranges of high-performance processors and other key system components. These applications often operate in challenging temperatures, and high-performance processors aren’t generally offered with these operational temperature ranges. Until now.
