SiMa.ai has introduced the Modalix™ PCIe HHHL Card, developed in partnership with Advantech, to advance Physical AI capabilities at the edge. Designed for industrial and commercial environments, the new card delivers double the performance of its predecessor while operating under 10W, enabling efficient execution of complex multimodal models, including LLMs and vision-language applications. Its standard half-height, half-length PCIe form factor allows seamless integration into both legacy and new industrial PCs without requiring system redesign, additional power connectors, or active cooling.

The solution supports up to 16 video channels and integrates direct GMSL camera interfaces and Ethernet connectivity, making it suitable for applications across smart retail, manufacturing, transportation, and defense. By running AI workloads directly on the Modalix MLSoC, the card minimizes CPU dependency and enhances throughput. “SiMa.ai’s Modalix PCIe card redefines what’s possible for industrial AI inference at the edge. In a standard HHHL PCIe form factor, it operates entirely within the PCIe slot power budget — requiring no auxiliary power connector or dedicated active cooling. It also integrates seamlessly into our industrial IPC platforms to deliver efficient, real-time AI processing for real-world applications.”
