Toradex’s Apalis iMX8QM System on Module features NXP’s i.MX 8QuadMax SoCs. The i.MX 8 applications processor family is built with a high-level integration to support graphics, video, image processing, audio, and voice functions, and is ideal for safety-certifiable and efficient performance requirements.
The Apalis modules come with Torizon, an easy-to-use industrial Linux platform offered by Toradex. AWS IoT Greengrass runs on the device, providing connectivity and offline capabilities.
The demo has a local graphical user interface, as well as a cloud-based control dashboard hosted on AWS.
With Amazon SageMaker a neural network was trained to detect and classify different types of pasta. The trained network was optimized with Amazon SageMaker Neo for the Apalis iMX8QM, resulting in increased performance and efficiency.
To learn more and see the demo in action, visit AWS at Industry of Things World Berlin on September 16 and 17.
