Scan is proud to announce its new partnership with Advantech focused on a range of AI edge inferencing systems. The portfolio includes the MIC-7x0 family of NVIDIA Jetson based embedded modular compute platforms designed for applying trained AI models within industrial, healthcare, smart city or surveillance environments.

“The addition of Advantech into our AI ecosystem makes us the leading AI solution provider in the UK, as we now have the ability and expertise to address the complete AI journey: develop - train - inference. Naturally these Advantech solutions will be available to trial in our guided proof-of-concept environment, and our AI team are always on hand to advise the optimal inferencing solution architecture for any given project or location” said Elan Raja, CEO of Scan.
