Aetina Showcases the Future at Smart City Expo
Aetina, a leading provider of AI solutions, unveiled its NVIDIA-powered edge AI platforms and partner solutions at the 2026 Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC). By integrating the latest technologies such as NVIDIA Jetson Thor and NVIDIA Jetson Orin, the company is bringing real-time intelligence to agriculture, factories, mobility, and urban infrastructure.
From Farm to City: Edge AI in the Urban Value Chain
Aetina's "farm to city" concept demonstrates how edge AI supports the entire process, from planting to harvesting, factory processing, transportation, and urban infrastructure.
🌱 Smart Agriculture
Aetina showcased smart agriculture solutions in collaboration with partners such as Comiers, Optoscale, Nature Robots, and Farm-ING. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson T5000, T4000, AGX Orin 64GB, and Orin NX 8GB modules, these solutions support seeding, irrigation, fertilization, crop health monitoring, and harvest optimization. Farmers can access real-time data without relying on the cloud.
🏭 Autonomous Factory
Harvested produce is transported to a juice factory, where two live demos illustrate the operation of edge AI. Cameras mounted on trucks provide data to Aetina's rugged AIE-VX28/18-IP system, powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. This system processes eight simultaneous camera streams in real-time, enhancing loading dock safety. Additionally, enabling Jetson AGX Orin 32GB Super Mode with NVIDIA JetPack 7.2 boosts AI performance from 200 to 241 TOPS.
Inside the factory, the MegaEdge AIP-FR68S, paired with an NVIDIA GPU, detects and grades mandarins in real-time, replacing manual inspection and accelerating quality control.
🏙️ Smart Cities and Spaces
As delivery trucks travel from the factory to the store, Aetina's AI Adaptive Street Lighting Solution comes into play. Powered by CoreEdge MXM modules with an NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Embedded GPU, this system converts street camera footage into real-time traffic information and adjusts lighting according to road conditions. This reduces energy consumption while maintaining road safety. In situations without cameras, radar or LiDAR can also be used as input.
NVIDIA Jetson: Optimized AI at the Edge
Aetina places a special emphasis on the NVIDIA Jetson platform. Jetson integrates validated DRAM directly onto the module, reducing external memory procurement, qualification, and system design complexity. Combined with NVIDIA's optimized software stack, Jetson provides higher inference throughput with a smaller memory footprint for modern edge AI workloads.
Aetina further enhances its advantage by integrating NVIDIA JetPack 7.2 into its NVIDIA Jetson Thor-powered edge AI systems. JetPack 7.2 brings NVIDIA Jetson Thor and Jetson Orin to a unified software baseline based on Ubuntu 24.04, Linux kernel 6.8, and the CUDA 13 software stack. It also introduces NVIDIA Jetson utility skills that inspect and reclaim memory held by bootloader holes, kernel reservations, and unused services.
Rugged In-Vehicle Edge AI: From Palm-Sized to IP66
For smart transportation, Aetina showcased its newly launched palm-sized in-vehicle edge AI systems, DeviceEdge AIE-VN34/44 and AIE-VO24/34. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, these systems offer up to 100 TOPS of performance and support up to four GMSL2 cameras for real-time multi-camera perception in vehicles, AMRs, and industrial equipment.
Aetina also previewed the AIE-VX28/18-IP, an IP66-rated, fanless in-vehicle system powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. With eight GMSL2 camera and four M12 PoE camera inputs, 10GbE connectivity, and E-Mark (E24) certification, this platform is designed for logistics fleets, smart transportation systems, and other demanding outdoor mobility deployments.
Richard Hung, Vice President of Aetina's Product Division, stated, "Cities succeed with edge AI when compute power is robust, memory-efficient, and scalable from pilot to fleet." He added, "By integrating NVIDIA JetPack 7.2 into our NVIDIA Jetson Thor and Jetson AGX Orin-based platforms and pairing that with our newest in-vehicle systems, we are offering system integrators and municipalities a faster, lower-risk path to AI deployment across agriculture, industry, and urban mobility.
