KontronOS
The Secure, Hardened Linux®-Based Operating System for Edge Devices

The KBox A-151 EAI Series is a high-performance industrial edge AI platform engineered for multimodal control and autonomous systems. Built around the integrated SiMa.ai MLSoC™ Modalix, it delivers 50+ TOPS of dedicated AI acceleration for real-time video analytics, GenAI, LLM, LMM, and CNN workloads.
Its dual-processor architecture combines Intel® Core™ or Intel Atom® performance with deterministic AI inference, ensuring reliable separation of business logic and edge intelligence. Designed for mission-critical environments, the fanless, passively cooled chassis maximizes power efficiency without thermal throttling.
With support for multi-camera 4K video processing and a complete end-to-end vision pipeline, it enables high-fidelity analytics at the edge. Seamless deployment through the Palette™ SDK accelerates development using standard ML frameworks. Scalable memory, flexible I/O, and robust industrial certifications make it ideal for demanding edge applications.
