Problem
Many enterprise IoT and edge computing applications require powerful processing capabilities in a compact, low-power form factor, especially for real-time AI, machine vision, and high-resolution video processing. Existing solutions often lack the necessary I/O bandwidth and system integration flexibility to support demanding workloads in industrial environments.
Solution
BIVROST offers the Lite5 Platform, a 5-inch mini-STX motherboard designed for high-performance edge computing and Industry 4.0 applications. The platform combines a versatile carrier board with a COM Express Basic Module Type 6, offering a range of Intel Core and Xeon processors, up to 96GB of DDR4 memory, and extensive I/O capabilities. The Lite5 platform excels in applications such as machine vision-based production control, live video analytics, and autonomous vehicle control, providing a balance of power, efficiency, and connectivity. Its modular design and industrial-grade components ensure reliability and longevity in demanding environments.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes system integrators, IoT designers, embedded systems developers, and AI programmers who require a compact, high-performance computing platform for industrial and edge applications.
