Following NVIDIA’s unveiling of the Jetson T4000 module at CES, AAEON has announced its development plans for the BOXER-8742AI, marking the company’s first embedded AI system built on the new platform. The fanless AI Box PC is designed to support demanding edge deployments across multiple industries.
Capable of delivering up to 1200 TFLOPS of AI computing performance, the BOXER-8742AI combines production-ready processing power with advanced sensor support in a compact, fully integrated system. The design is intended to accelerate physical AI applications where high-performance inference and reliability are critical.
The system is powered by NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, which delivers up to 4x higher AI compute with improved energy efficiency and real-time reasoning capabilities. This exceptional boost in AI performance in a system measuring just 210mm x 164.2mm x 74mm will no doubt see AAEON position the BOXER-8742AI for use in edge AI application such as smart factory automation, AMR, and AI-assisted roadside unit solutions.
The BOXER-8742AI, which is expected to be available in Q2 of 2026, will be equipped with a range of features conducive to building advanced solutions that demand real-time AI performance and multi-sensor processing. Notably, the system will feature four RJ-45 LAN ports with PoE function alongside an additional RJ-45 port supporting 5GbE speed. Joining these interfaces are both DB-9 and DB-15 ports offering a selection of CANBus, DIO, and RS-232/422/485 interfaces, while the system will also include four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. This selection of wired networking options is designed to offer users high-throughput data transfer from multiple synchronized real-time vision sensors.
“We are constantly striving to bring platforms featuring the newest and most advanced NVIDIA technologies to our customers, and with the announcement of NVIDIA Jetson T4000 module, we intend to fully leverage the major advancements of NVIDIA Jetson Thor series,” said Alex Hsueh, Associate Vice President of AAEON’s Smart Platform Business Unit. “We believe we are entering a new era in which developers looking to unlock new possibilities for a range of vertical markets have access to platforms designed specifically to cater to them, accelerating time-to-market while also boosting what their applications can achieve,” Hsueh added.
