Nvidia SBC Lightfront: the future of Artificial Intelligence
It is important to believe in the benefits that advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings to our lives, to the very evolution of society and the economy, which is why we are proud to announce Nvidia SBC Lightfront.
It is a compact board that offers all the main PC interfaces directly on the board. The future of the industrial, medical and automotive sectors.
Nvidia SBC: Advanced Artificial Intelligence
Nvidia SBC Lightfront, in fact, is able to increase any product capabilities, adding advanced Artificial Intelligence to the pre-existing features.
Thanks to Nvidia SBC, Artificial Intelligence opens up to applications for embedded systems and IOT, such as in the case of entry-level network video recorders, home robots and intelligent portals able of performing comprehensive analyses.
Furthermore, the exceptional performances of the Jetson platform are able to increase the volumes of processing in real time, like never before, and to accelerate the research, development and distribution of AI solutions.
Technical features:
- 384-core Volta GPU with 48 Tensor Cores
- up to 6 cameras on 24 virtual channels
- NVDIA JETSON NANO and XAVIER NX technology
- 4xCortex A57 at 1.43Ghz
- Maxwell GPU 128-core at 921Mhz
- 3 video inputs up to 4K UHD @ 38fps
- Ethernet: 2x Gigabit
- Video output: 1 x HDMI
Examples of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence, on which Nvidia SBC Lightfront is based, is a strategic technology that is rapidly developing and spreading around the world.
It can improve healthcare, reduce energy consumption, make cars safer and enable farmers to use water and natural resources more efficiently.
Artificial Intelligence can be used to predict climate and environmental changes, help manage financial risks and reduce production waste in factories. It can also make online transactions and fraud checking safer.
Nvidia SBC: applications
How can Nvidia SBC Lightfront be used?
Transports
We can find real life examples of Artificial Intelligence in the transport sector, where recent studies establish that 95% of road accidents are caused by human errors. Self-driving cars would radically reduce the total accident rate by nearly 90%. Furthermore, the intelligent sensors will be able to process the fastest and most convenient routes in real time, reducing waiting times in traffic, good for workers and commuters.
Medicine
In the medical field, particularly in the diagnostic one, advanced Artificial Intelligence is able to analyse and compare clinical histories and pathological cases, in order to identify details and solutions that often escape the human eye.
With a series of control microchips applied to a patient and connected to a computer, you can monitor vital parameters and can predict possible pathologies, such as a heart attack.
Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI
In Brussels in 2019, the European Union presented the new guidelines of the code of ethics to inspire trust in Artificial Intelligence, where it encourages companies, like ours, to put man at the centre and to guarantee his control, which is essential for the functioning of any technology.
To ensure a trustworthy AI and to promote its use is effective and safe, there are seven key requirements to meet:
1. Human agency and oversight
Do not reduce man's autonomy in favour of complete automation, but improve his actions and his rights.
2. Technical robustness and safety
The algorithms must be safe, reliable and resistant, capable of independently addressing any errors or inconsistencies. The system must be barely vulnerable to external attacks.
3. Privacy and Data governance
Citizens should be in full control of their personal data, which must not be used against them.
4. Transparency
Government agencies and companies should ensure the tracking of data processed by AI systems.
5. Diversity, non-discrimination and fairness
Artificial Intelligence systems in their choices should consider the full range of human capabilities, ensuring accessibility for all age, gender and race.
6. Social and environmental well-being
Artificial Intelligence should increase ecological sustainability, working in favour of social and environmental well-being.
7. Accountability
Mechanisms are in place to ensure accountability for AI systems and their results. Negative impacts should be reported in advance of use.
Our goal with Nvidia SBC Lightfront, in full compliance with the principles of reliable Artificial Intelligence, is the immense potential that this offers to increase the performance of a product and enhance its yield.

ADMIN 4D project: Additive manufacturing and IoT systems in Industry 4.0
Technological innovation of Industry 4.0 employed for raising Manufacturing Companies is the focus of ADMIN 4D project, supported by the Veneto Region - POR FESR 2014-2020 and co-financed by the European Union.
The project was a great opportunity for MAS which has contributed with its know-how and a long expertise in the field of sensors and IoT.
Industry 4.0 and Sustainability
Internet of Things, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, enabling technologies and collaboration between companies: all together to create a synergy between industry 4.0 and sustainability.
We MAS believe that the world of technology and innovation, in which our products are developed, can contribute substantially to renewing the world of industry.
The focus of the ADMIN 4D project is the application of innovative techniques and methodologies of Industry 4.0, into the 3D printing of large minerals.
Typical of Industry 4.0 technologies
In particular, through an innovative system with new generation sensors, which have been put directly into the products, it is possible to handle and automatize production and turning off of printer, as well as the correction of any errors, without need of human intervention.
The sensors inserted in the products transmit data, through a LoraWan network; they will be used for environmental monitoring and life cycle of the artifacts.
In addition to this, through Machine Learning systems, the collected data will be stored and subsequently analyzed.
It is therefore a strongly IoT-oriented project that take advantages of main typical of Industry 4.0 technologies: Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing and CyberSecurity.
MAS for ADMIN 4D
ADMIN 4D involved a total of 3 companies and 4 research centers, including Desamanera, project leader, which also houses the prototype of a 3D printer for the production of large minerals.
Thanks to over 10 years of experience in the sensors field and in-depth knowledge of IoT systems, Mas played a key role in the definition and choice of sensors to be used within the products,
We are very proud to have contributed with our know-how in a project which combine technology, innovation and eco-sustainability.
