AMobile’s Genio platform accelerates edge AI adoption with new SoMs and AI cameras for industrial and retail markets

Taiwan-based AMobile Solutions showcases its latest Genio platform solutions at the Embedded Systems Design Forum 2025, delivering high-performance, energy-efficient AI processing for smart cities, retail, and industrial applications, backed by MediaTek’s cutting-edge chips.

AMobile Solutions Corp., a Taiwan-based AIoT hardware provider, is advancing real-world edge AI applications with its Genio platform solutions, as presented at the Embedded Systems Design Forum in September 2025. The company, backed by MediaTek and Arbor Technology, has developed a broad portfolio of AIoT products—including system-on-modules (SoMs), single-board computers (SBCs), and AI-powered cameras—designed for deployment across smart homes, retail environments, manufacturing sites, and more. This portfolio leverages MediaTek’s Genio series of SoCs, purpose-built for IoT with cutting-edge 6-nanometre fabrication, delivering high performance, energy efficiency, and AI processing capabilities directly on devices.

AMobile’s close collaboration with MediaTek underpins its technological edge. Stanley Li, general manager of AMobile USA, highlighted that the Genio platform’s integration of octa-core CPUs and neural processing units (NPUs) enables substantial AI workloads to be processed locally. This local processing reduces latency, enhances data security, and obviates reliance on continuous cloud connectivity, critical for real-time responsiveness in mission-critical applications ranging from industrial automation to smart retail and safety monitoring.

Two flagship SoMs exemplify this approach: the SD520 and the higher-end SD720. The SD520, powered by the Genio 520, delivers 9 TOPS (trillion operations per second), combining robust AI inference power with integrated memory and storage (8GB RAM, 64GB onboard storage), plus comprehensive connectivity options including Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. This module is tailored for compact edge devices like smart cameras and interactive kiosks, supporting both Android 15 and Yocto Linux ecosystems for developer flexibility. Meanwhile, the SD720, based on Genio 720, extends capabilities with 10 TOPS AI power, enhanced multimedia support, and the ability to handle multiple high-definition camera inputs simultaneously, enabling complex vision analytics and demanding AI inference scenarios such as transformer models or genetic AI algorithms.

To facilitate development, AMobile offers an interchangeable evaluation platform that accommodates both SoMs on a single carrier board, complete with documentation, guides, and support tools. This setup is designed to streamline prototyping and accelerate the path to production, reinforcing AMobile’s commitment to delivering integrated, production-ready solutions rather than generic development boards.

AI-driven smart vision solutions represent a prominent application of AMobile’s Genio technology. Their AI cameras combine high-resolution sensors with capabilities such as ultra-low-light performance (down to 0.01 Lux), triple video-streaming in efficient formats, and up to 512GB microSD storage. Built to operate independently without cloud dependency, these cameras enable immediate alerting and automation triggers for applications like smart homes, where they can detect people, monitor safety hazards such as fires through visual cues like flickering light or smoke, and provide fall detection for elderly care—prioritising both effectiveness and privacy by processing data locally and using advanced event-based vision sensors to track motion without excessive image storage.

Beyond domestic settings, AI cameras serve retail and industrial purposes. Retail environments benefit from demographic analytics, shopper behaviour insights, and traffic pattern monitoring to optimise promotions and store layouts, enhancing both customer experience and sales. In factories and warehouses, real-time defect detection and worker safety monitoring (e.g., PPE compliance) improve operational efficiency and safety standards. Because all AI processing happens at the edge, these systems offer immediate feedback and greater data confidentiality.

AMobile is also expanding its AIoT portfolio with new SBCs—the SBC-MB520 and SBC-MB720—targeted at smart homes, retail displays, transportation, and industrial human-machine interfaces. These boards support high-performance AI workloads and broad interface options to accelerate AIoT deployments. Additionally, the company continues to innovate with AI boxes combining Genio SoMs with proprietary AI SDKs, simplifying application development through unified APIs for Android developers. They are exploring further enhancements, potentially incorporating RISC-V architectures, and deepening integrations to support generative AI models on edge devices for enhanced inference efficiency and security.

At COMPUTEX 2025 and Embedded World 2025, AMobile has showcased its capability in end-to-end AIoT solutions, from chip integration to ready-to-deploy applications in safety, retail, and industrial markets. Their partnership with MediaTek has also enabled the introduction of next-generation edge AI solutions that reduce costs while supporting advanced generative AI capabilities, reflecting a broader industry shift towards trustworthy, efficient, and scalable AI infrastructure at the network edge.

AMobile’s focus on ruggedised, long-life industrial designs alongside strong documentation and integration support positions them to meet the growing demand for AI-powered automation and intelligent systems in diverse sectors, from smart cities to automotive and energy infrastructure. Their strategic roadmap seeks to make AIoT systems increasingly accessible and scalable worldwide, facilitating faster deployment and confidence in real-time edge AI solutions essential for future digital transformation.
