TAIPEI, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advantech announced its latest edge AI solutions powered by the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ-9075 processor, including the AOM-6741 SMARC module, ASR-A503/AFE-A503 robotic controllers, and AIR-055 edge AI system. Designed for industrial-grade vision intelligence, these platforms deliver up to 100 TOPS AI performance and support up to 16 concurrent cameras, enabling the evolution from traditional machine vision to real-time vision reasoning for robotics, industrial automation, and smart surveillance applications.

The Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075 features an advanced vision processing architecture that combines an integrated ISP, VPU, and NPU with high-speed interfaces including MIPI-CSI, USB 3.0, and GbE. This architecture enables efficient image preprocessing, high-throughput video streaming, and scalable multi-camera deployment. With up to 100 TOPS (dense) and 200 TOPS (sparse) AI performance, the platform supports demanding computer vision workloads such as object detection, tracking, and OCR with low latency and high accuracy.

Built on a heterogeneous Arm-based architecture, the IQ-9075 processor delivers exceptional performance-per-watt for industrial edge AI. Its 8-core Qualcomm® Kryo™ Gen 6 CPU, combined with an integrated real-time MCU subsystem, enables deterministic performance for latency-sensitive and safety-critical applications. The close integration of AI processing and real-time control ensures responsive, reliable, and scalable edge intelligence in industrial environments.

To accelerate solution development, Advantech offers comprehensive software services spanning bootloader, operating system, and application development. The Advantech BSP Launcher simplifies BSP and image management, while the Edge AI SDK and Robotics Suite integrate AI frameworks, multimedia pipelines, and ROS2-based tools for rapid application development. These modular software offerings help customers shorten development cycles and speed time-to-market.

Samples of the AOM-6741, ASR-A503/AFE-A503, and AIR-055 are now available. For more information about Advantech's Arm-based edge AI solutions powered by the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ IQ9 platform, contact your local Advantech representative or visit www.advantech.com

NEW SOUTH WALES, Australia, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As Australia's aged care sector continues to focus on delivering high-quality services while managing rising operational challenges, sustainable and reliable energy solutions are becoming increasingly important. Sungrow, a globally leading PV inverter and energy storage system supplier, has partnered with MNC Solar Power to deliver an intelligent multi-building solar solution for Vincent Court Aged Care in Kempsey, NSW. The 244 kW solar installation is helping the facility reduce electricity costs, improve energy visibility, and strengthen operational resilience while supporting its commitment to providing high-quality care for residents.

Vincent Court is an 86‑bed aged care facility in Kempsey, one of the Mid‑North Coast's most respected aged care facilities, with commercial kitchens, hot water systems, air conditioning, and essential services around the clock. With the kitchen being the largest energy consumer, powering combination ovens, dishwashers, and daily meal preparation, the facility sought to replace the old ineffective inverter system with a smarter and more reliable energy solution.

The installation features eight Sungrow PV inverters, five SG30CX 30‑kW units and three SG20RT 20‑kW units, all supported by six dataloggers configured in a master‑slave architecture. The new Sungrow inverters deliver clarity, control, and confidence, enabling Vincent Court to visualize generation, consumption, and grid exports through a single intelligent platform.

"The Sungrow system is going to make a significant difference to our energy management and operating costs. We can now clearly see how much energy we are generating and consuming across all buildings. The savings will allow us to invest more resources into supporting our residents." said Craig Baker, Maintenance Officer, Vincent Court.

The Sungrow inverters provide a modern, scalable solution capable of managing energy across multiple rooftops and switchboards without invasive trenching or complex rewiring.

"With our logger-cascading solution, all loggers communicate over the same network via Modbus TCP, so there's no need for trenching even with inverters on different buildings. Everything reports back to one master logger and smart meter on the main switchboard, giving the whole site a single, unified view on iSolarCloud." said Amit Raj Pant, Technical Service Engineer of Sungrow.

The solution enables Vincent Court to achieve:

  • Centralised intelligent management through iSolarCloud
  • Real-time Multi‑building visibility without trenching
  • Zero‑export capability when required
  • Scalable integration for future expansion

"Working with Sungrow has been seamless. Their support keeps us at the top of our game, especially on large‑scale sites like this. The new system brings all inverters together into one easy‑to‑use platform, making life easier for both installers and customers." said Dean Galvin, Managing Director of MNC Solar Power.

With an intelligent management system, multi‑building integration, and strong local technical support, Sungrow remains committed to empowering Australian businesses, communities, and essential services with sustainable energy solutions that create lasting environmental and social value.
