Network Optix’s Nx AI Manager, built on the Nx EVOS platform, is a powerful, scalable tool that brings AI-driven video analytics to the edge. Acting as a key component of the AI software suite provided as part of the UP TWL, UP Squared Pro TWL, and UP Xtreme ARL AI Dev Kits, Network Optix’s Nx AI Manager will provide UP customers with a universal AI model pipeline that boasts cross-hardware compatibility, custom pipeline configuration, and centralized, software-based model management across UP devices.

The versatility of both UP hardware and Network Optix software illustrates the suitability of the partnership, with the newest generation of UP AI Dev Kits supporting a variety of AI accelerators, including those from Intel®, Hailo, Axelera®, and DEEPX. Meanwhile, Network Optix’s Nx AI Manager also allows users to deploy and scale AI models from a range of industry-leading accelerators or a combination of disparate accelerators with a hardware-agnostic model pipeline.

“At Network Optix, our mission has always been to make intelligent video accessible and scalable across industries. Partnering with AAEON’s UP brand brings that mission to the developer community in a powerful way. By combining UP’s versatile edge hardware with Nx AI Manager, built on our Nx EVOS platform, we’re giving developers a unified, hardware-agnostic AI pipeline that accelerates innovation and lowers the barrier to entry for deploying video-driven intelligence at the edge.” said James Cox, VP Business Development of Network Optix.

With Nx AI Manager’s inclusion as part of the UP AI Dev kit software suite, developers will receive free trial access to the package, allowing them to explore the full capabilities of Nx AI Manager without upfront cost, accelerating evaluation and proof-of-concept development.
