We have released a white paper on approaches to implementing image AI and edge AI in harsh environments.

Deploying image AI in harsh environments on PCs equipped with Hailo and NVIDIA AI modules.

The AT-IPCFG series from Analog Tech deploys image AI and edge AI for harsh environments where computers struggle, such as safety management at construction, agriculture, and surveying sites, inspection sites for roads, tunnels, and bridges, vehicles like unmanned transport vehicles, and environments with high temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, and dust. The housing, enhanced for environmental performance, is equipped with AI chips and AI modules for inference. It provides low-latency, high-speed image AI processing on edge devices, including high-resolution image processing, video processing from multiple cameras, real-time image processing, and AI inference processing. Custom and OEM supply tailored to customer applications is available, so please feel free to consult with us.

Are you struggling with implementing AI in your environment? We solve the challenges of AI implementation in harsh conditions for devices with AI chips suitable for industrial applications.

■What is an AI Chip■ An AI chip is a semiconductor designed to accelerate AI computational processing. In image processing and AI processing, GPUs are becoming almost standardized for training purposes. However, the specifications differ between training and inference, and inference can be realized using not only GPUs but also FPGAs and ASICs. In particular, inference for edge applications is implemented in devices that process AI on-site alongside IoT, necessitating considerations for adoption based on not only "computational performance" but also "low power consumption," "wide operating temperature," and "long supply duration" for embedded implementations in devices. ■Introduction of AI Chips Suitable for Industrial Applications■ Hailo's AI chip boasting low power consumption and high inference processing capability: 'Hailo-8 AI Processor' The Hailo-8 processor is a chip specialized for AI processing developed by Hailo. Among AI chips, it has the following features that make it particularly suitable for industrial applications: (Feature 1) AI processing with high power efficiency! Power efficiency of 3 TOPS/W (Feature 2) High environmental durability! Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C (Feature 3) Long-term supply planned! Expected supply duration of up to 10 years for the chip alone.

Are you struggling with the implementation environment for AI? We solve the challenges of AI implementation in harsh environments with industrial PCs equipped with industrial AI chips that are built to withstand tough conditions.

■Challenges of Implementing Image AI and Edge AI■ Recently, the development of various image AI and edge AI applications has progressed, moving into the device implementation phase. In this phase, unlike in offices or data centers, devices are required to have strict environmental durability, which presents challenges for implementing edge AI. Additionally, the data processed at the edge continues to increase in volume and real-time demands, leading to a linear rise in component performance, resulting in extreme heat generation from CPUs, GPUs, and AI chips, which adds to the challenges of device implementation. In edge AI, to enhance processing performance, it is crucial to address the heat dissipation of high-heat-generating components such as GPUs and AI chips while ensuring extremely stringent environmental durability. This involves temperature control, vibration mitigation, and mechanical design, which are essential elements for implementing image AI and edge AI applications in various settings. ■High Environmental Durability Edge AI Platform■ Analog Devices provides a platform for implementing AI in harsh field environments such as 'high temperature/low temperature, water, high humidity, and dust' by equipping AI chips in industrial PCs that excel in environmental durability.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.

Do you have any concerns or requests regarding wired bed exit sensors? × Tangling or tripping over wired cables × Cable disconnection or damage × Worrying about forgetting to turn the switch back on after temporarily stopping the sensor. × Wanting to be notified of bed exits even from a location far from the nurse call outlet. Such concerns can be resolved simply by connecting our wireless nurse call linked set to the sensor! Our wireless nurse call linked set allows you to connect bed exit sensors like "Ugo-kun," "Foldable Thin Matta-kun," "Ayumi-chan," and "Just Place Pole-kun" to transmitters and receivers, reducing wiring around the bed area, alleviating concerns about tripping or falling due to cables, and contributing to a tidier work environment. Furthermore, it enables the use of bed exit sensors even from locations far from the nurse call outlet, allowing for more flexible equipment placement.

Based on practical experience in support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer acquisition primarily in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On June 4, 2026, we published a page titled "Do We Set 'Forecasts' Too Optimistically Compared to Reality? The 'Planning Fallacy'." The 'Planning Fallacy' refers to the psychological phenomenon of underestimating the time, costs, and risks involved in carrying out tasks while overestimating the benefits. The page explains examples of its occurrence, the factors that lead to it, and methods to overcome it. (Page Overview: Excerpts) ■ What is the 'Planning Fallacy'? ■ Examples of the 'Planning Fallacy' ■ Why does the 'Planning Fallacy' occur? ■ How to overcome the 'Planning Fallacy'?

Kort Valuta has released a workplace initiative model that leverages points exchangeable for electronic money to support the adoption of safety and wellness habits. Examples include: ・Hydration reporting ・Viewing heatstroke prevention content ・Pre-shift condition checks ・Voice-based condition checks By linking these activities to incentive points, organizations can encourage voluntary participation while supporting workplace safety and employee well-being. The model is designed not only for frontline environments such as: ・Logistics ・Construction ・Manufacturing but also for office-based health and well-being programs. Safety posters and reminders alone are often not enough to drive lasting behavioral change. We hope this initiative provides a practical example for organizations seeking new approaches to workplace safety and employee engagement.
