Overview

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems require a powerful microprocessor (MPU) like Renesas' RZ/V2M for artificial intelligence. Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor for AI (DRP-AI) hardware IP dedicated for high-speed AI inference and accuracy is mandatory. One major differentiator is fast wireless communication to enhance this solution with high data throughput. This solution contains a SMARC system-on-module (SoM), an M.2 Type E CL2440 module offering Wi-Fi 5 plus an off-the-shelf camera module, all plugged onto a carrier board.

System Benefits​:

  • Complete AOI solution leveraging
    • CL2440 guarantees low latency and low interference in the 5GHz band
    • 4x4 MIMO antenna for 5GHz high throughput Wi-Fi
    • Standard form factor M.2, Type E
    • PCIe interface for higher performance
    • Single 3.3V supply for the Wi-Fi module (other power rails generated on module), additional 5V for the SMARC module

Applications

  • Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) with Wi-Fi 5 communication
  • Industrial customers, who need Wi-Fi 5 IEEE 802.11ac 5GHz
  • Other MPU applications using RZ devices requiring Wi-Fi 5 5GHz
