DFI will showcase its latest products and embedded AI solutions at embedded world 2023, including a 1.8-in., AMD Ryzen-based high-performance industrial motherboard and one with the Qualcomm high-performance QRB5165 processor. Addressing smart cities, smart factories, and rugged products for edge-computing applications, the demonstrations highlight the company’s flexible and customized systems.

DFI President Alexander Su pointed out the exhibition booth will focus on five major product applications and technologies, simulating these smart-city and smart-factory environments. The demos illustrate how to optimize elements of IoT applications through advanced embedded solutions and high-performance platforms. They address the need for improved transportation in smart cities and the infrastructure required to automate and enhance public safety, while solving issues like traffic congestion.

In the field of Industrial Pi and industrial-grade motherboards, DFI launched the PCSF51, based on the latest AMD Ryzen R2000 processor, maintaining its business-card size while optimizing heat dissipation by reducing the thermal module by 4 mm. The feature-rich product uses the AMD Ryzen Embedded R1000 Series processor, and its small form factor (1.8 in.) SBC helps it accommodate space-limited applications.

Its single-channel DDR4 memory is available at up to 4 or 8 GB, and the HDMI output delivers 1.4 resolution plus supports images up to 4096 x 2160 at 24 Hz. Additional features include one Mini PCIe and one SMBus port as well as an Intel GbE, one USB 3.1 Gen 2, and two Micro HDMI ports.

In addition, a number of system solutions target the roadside and vehicles, such as Edge AI Boxes. And with partners VicOne and Topview, the company will present cybersecurity technology and network cameras for face recognition, people counting, and simulations of smart traffic intersections with vehicle-to-everything technology (V2X). Using Intel Virtualization Technology verification (Graphics SR-IOV), DFI also has a virtualized environment for executing common applications in industrial automation, such as appearance identification, defect detection, and human body posture recognition.

Another demo focuses on Intel's latest Raptor Lake-S high-end IMB motherboards and Alder Lake series products. On top of that, DFI will exhibit various solutions for special environments dealing with shock-, dust-, and water-resistance, and wide temperature and pressure management.
