Vecow ECX-3000 AI 13th Gen Intel Core Hailo-8 AI Edge Computers

The Vecow ECX-3000 AI series is a family of AI edge computers built on 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core processors with an onboard Hailo-8 AI accelerator rated at up to 26 TOPS. Seven builds range from two LAN ports to six with four 2.5GbE PoE+, with front-access 2.5" or M.2 trays, 9-50 V DC and fanless operation to -40 °C. The ECX-3000 AI series suits traffic vision, real-time AOI and in-vehicle computing deployments.

  • Hailo-8 AI Accelerator: Onboard Hailo-8 AI processor rated at up to 26 TOPS, running TensorFlow and ONNX models without a discrete GPU.
  • 12th and 13th Gen Intel Core: Intel R680E chipset with Core i9 to i3 processors up to the 24-core i9-13900E at 65 W TDP.
  • 2.5GbE Networking with TSN: Intel I226 2.5GbE ports with Time-Sensitive Networking, plus an I219LM GbE port with iAMT on every build.
  • Four Displays and Field I/O: Two DisplayPort, DVI-I and HDMI outputs, six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and four COM ports on every build.
  • 9-50 V DC Fanless to -40 °C: Wide 9 V to 50 V DC input with 16-mode ignition control, fanless from -40 °C, with EN 50155 EMC listings.

ECX-3000 AI Description

Adding deep-learning inference to an existing line often means fitting a GPU card to a host that was never sized for the heat or the power. The Vecow ECX-3000 AI series takes a different route: AI edge computers that carry a Hailo-8 AI processor on board, rated at up to 26 TOPS, inside the same fanless chassis Vecow uses for its ECX-3000 industrial range.

Every ECX-3000 AI shares one core. The Intel R680E chipset takes 12th or 13th Gen Intel Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 processors up to the 24-core Core i9-13900E at 65 W, with two DDR4 3200 MHz SO-DIMMs for up to 64 GB. The Hailo-8 runs TensorFlow and ONNX models beside the CPU, and Intel UHD Graphics 770 drives four independent displays. Six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, four COM ports, Mini PCIe, M.2 Key B and Key E sockets and two external SIM sockets handle field I/O and 4G, 5G or Wi-Fi, with TPM 2.0, vPro and TSN on the 2.5GbE port.

The seven builds differ in networking and storage. The ECX-3000-2G AI has one 2.5GbE and one GbE port, and the ECX-3000-2R AI adds two front-access 2.5″ drive trays. The ECX-3000-4G AI steps up to four LAN ports, three at 2.5GbE, with the ECX-3000-4R AI adding the same 2.5″ trays. Three builds power cameras through four 2.5GbE IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports among six LAN: the ECX-3000-PoE AI keeps storage internal, the ECX-3000-PoER AI adds two 2.5″ trays, and the ECX-3000-PoES AI carries four front-access M.2 SSD trays.

ECX-3000 AI edge computers typically serve traffic vision, real-time optical inspection and in-vehicle computing. A 9 V to 50 V DC input with 16-mode software ignition control suits vehicle and cabinet power, and the series is rated fanless from -40 °C to 65 °C with 35 W processors, with IEC 60068 shock and vibration testing and EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 EMC listings. Wall mounting is standard, with DIN-rail and 2U rack kits optional, so in practice one software image can move between a roadside cabinet, a vehicle and a line-side enclosure without a change of hardware family.

Official Vecow UK Distributor

Things Embedded is an official Vecow UK distributor, supplying the ECX-3000 AI range for UK vision, inspection and in-vehicle projects. Within Vecow's range, the ECX-3000 series uses the same chassis without the accelerator, with 10GbE options for wider networks, and the ABP-3000 AI series puts a Hailo-8 into a 33 mm ultra-slim 8th Gen Core unit.

With its onboard accelerator the ECX-3000 AI sits among our edge AI computers, and the PoE+ builds also join our PoE computers. The ECX-3000 PEG series takes a full discrete GPU card for heavier models, and the ECX-4000 series moves to Intel Core Ultra with an integrated NPU, PoE+ and 10GbE.
