Embedded Edge AI:
Electronics & Know-how for smart devices
Smart devices collect data, evaluate it with AI and classic algorithms and implement results - in real time and directly on the devices. This requires powerful, ultra-compact and energy-saving electronics. PHYTEC develops customer-specific hardware and integrates the latest AI technologies and chips. Customers benefit from over 40 years of experience, customized software and close cooperation with leading providers of AI solutions.
- Development support from idea to application
- partnership with leading AI providers
- AI kits, software and tools
- Agile support for hardware and software development
- embedded vision integration
Share your vision _ we implement them!
From the idea
to the embedded
AI application
Artificial intelligence enables completely new smart applications and revolutionizes existing technologies - from industrial automation and mobile robots to smart cities, traffic control and intelligent devices in industry and the home. At the same time, AI is also changing the way we develop: development cycles are getting shorter and applications are becoming more and more powerful. Visionaries and developers need partners who perfectly complement their own skills.
We support you from the idea to series success
This is where PHYTEC comes in: Our sophisticated, series-optimized system on modules and single board computers shorten your development time and reduce costs and risks. We integrate the latest processors and leading AI chips, develop customer-specific electronics and board support packages as the optimal basis for your application software. Our FAE and development team supports you throughout the entire life cycle and offers comprehensive Services, for AI integration as well as for security, device management and more.
What is your vision for an embedded AI project?
We would be happy to advise you in a personal meeting.
Powerful system on modules as a basis for your own projects, individual base boards – quickly and cost-effectively adapted for you – or complete developments: We support you from the idea through the prototype to series production.

Embedded hardware for Edge AI
phyBOARD®-Pollux AI kit
Development platform for the use of machine learning in embedded systems
- i.MX 8M Plus Quad with 4x 1,6 GHz
- HDR capable image signal processor
- Acquisition and processing of data by ISP and phyCAM-M camera
- NXP eIQ Machine Learning SW in BSP integrated
- Use of neural networks for object comparison
- Can be used directly thanks to the support of pytorch, TensorFlow Lite and ONNX format
PHYTEC + HAILO _ Add Hailo-8 to the Kit
Phytec and Hailo are close partners for individual AI electronics. The powerful Hailo-8 AI chip can be quickly and easily integrated into the phyBOARD-Pollux AI kit as an M.2 module. For series production, Phytec takes over the design-in of the Hailo chips into individual electronics.
- Maximum AI computing power for edge devices
- Highest efficiency of 1,8 TOPS/Watt
- For numerous applications, from smart cameras to autonomous vehicles
- Low energy consumption (typically: 2,5 watts)
- Ideal integration with PHYTEC SOMs and SBCs
iRider iRas _ the first intelligent Rider Assistance System
Based on
phyCORE i.MX 8M Plus
and Hailo-8
The iRider Rider Assistance System iRas was specially developed for e-bikes and light vehicles. It analyzes complex traffic situations, recognizes traffic signs and route guidance as well as potential dangers and warns of collisions. The iRas uses camera data and AI for real-time analysis. The platform is based on electronics individually developed by PHYTEC with a phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus processor and Hailo-8 AI chip. The OEM system is modularly adaptable and is integrated into various solutions for micro-mobility and last-mile delivery.
- Detects vehicles, people, objects, traffic signs & route guidance
- Warns of dangerous situations and collisions
- embedded & cloud streaming
- Based on PHYTEC phyCORE-i.MX 8M Plus with Hailo-8 AI chip
