In a striking leap forward for edge AI technologies, SolidRun has introduced its Hailo-15H System-on-Module (SOM), igniting a revolution in AI vision processing capabilities. This groundbreaking module, embedded with the advanced Hailo-15H AI vision processor, is expected to set a new precedent in the development of smart, efficient, and powerful AI vision applications across a broad spectrum of industries.

With its headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel, SolidRun has long been at the forefront of creating innovative, high-performance embedded solutions. The unveiling of the Hailo-15H SOM underscores the company’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible within the realm of embedded systems and AI.

The Hailo-15H SOM represents a significant advancement in AI processing by combining high computational capacity with energy efficiency — a critical requirement for edge AI applications. With an impressive capability of up to 20 Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS), this SOM enables developers to carry out multiple deep learning AI applications simultaneously, ensuring exceptional speed and efficiency. It is a development that holds the promise of transforming AI vision applications in sectors such as security, industrial automation, smart cities, retail, automotive, among others, by enabling enhanced image quality, rapid object detection, and superior video analytics at the edge – closer to where data is generated rather than in distant data centers.

One of the distinctive advantages of the Hailo-15H SOM lies in its AI-powered vision enhancement features, supporting premium resolutions up to 4K60 or dual 4K30, and incorporating a 12MP ISP video pipeline. This innovation ensures unparalleled image clarity and quality, significantly enhancing the performance and reliability of AI vision applications. This superior imaging capability is further bolstered by compatibility with various micro camera solutions like those from Leopard Imaging, offering developers a seamless integration experience.

Despite its robust capabilities and features, the Hailo-15H SOM is presented in an ultra-compact form factor (47mm x 30mm), designed to operate reliably in a wide range of environmental conditions – from -40°C to 85°C. This compact yet powerful solution can therefore be deployed in various settings, including those subject to harsh industrial conditions, without compromising on performance or reliability.

SolidRun has complemented the Hailo-15H SOM with a comprehensive suite of software tools to expedite the development of AI vision applications. This includes support for standard Machine Learning (ML) frameworks and specialized image and video processing algorithms, coupled with strong security measures like secure boot and hardware-accelerated cryptography, among others. This ensures a robust, secure, and flexible foundation for developers, reducing engineering time and costs significantly.

Priced starting at $149, the Hailo-15H SOM is now available through SolidRun’s website and select distributors. The company also hints at an upcoming expansion of the Hailo SOM product line, indicating a promising future for edge AI development tools.

SolidRun’s team, along with their partners at Hailo, will be showcasing the Hailo-15 SOM at notable industry exhibitions including the Embedded World in Nuremberg and the ISC-West in Las Vegas, offering a closer look at this innovative solution.

The release of the Hailo-15H SOM by SolidRun, in collaboration with Hailo, represents a transformative development in the AI and embedded systems landscape, promising to unlock new potentials in AI at the edge and drive innovation across numerous fields. With this potent combination of performance, efficiency, and ease of integration, the future of AI vision applications looks brighter than ever.
