Advancing Edge AI with Ballard NG3 with Hailo-8R

The rapid growth of AI-driven applications has accelerated the need for high-performance computing at the edge. To address this demand, the Ballard NG3 Series is now available with an integrated Hailo-8R AI Accelerator (E03 option), enabling powerful AI and machine learning inference within a compact, rugged platform.

The addition of the Hailo-8R Neural Processing Unit (NPU) delivers up to 13 TOPS of AI performance, allowing complex inference workloads to be executed locally without dependence on cloud connectivity. This capability supports real-time applications such as computer vision, video analytics, anomaly detection, and environment mapping, while significantly reducing latency and bandwidth requirements.

Designed with low size, weight, and power (SWaP) in mind, the Ballard NG3 with E03 option is well suited for aerospace, defense, and industrial environments where reliability and efficiency are critical. On-device inference also enhances system security by keeping sensitive data local, making it ideal for mission-critical and secure applications.

Oriens Pte Ltd supports the deployment of advanced edge computing and AI-enabled solutions, helping customers adopt technologies that meet performance, operational, and certification requirements for next-generation systems.
