The Dragonwing AI on-prem solution integrates hardware and software into a unified, end-to-end solution.
HARDWARE
AI Accelerator Card
Purpose-built AI accelerators deliver high performance, low latency, and efficient on-site processing—all within a compact, power-optimized footprint.
SOFTWARE
Models & AI Inference Suite
A flexible software layer powers easy deployment, orchestration, and inference for computer vision, LLMs, and other AI models—scalable to meet enterprise needs.
Enterprise-ready AI inference use cases
Dynamic information access
Deliver real-time access to maintenance guides, process documentation, and live records—right at the edge. Workers get instant, AI-powered support to troubleshoot, follow procedures, and boost productivity without relying on cloud connectivity.
Operational diagnostics
Just snap a photo—leverage AI inference combining computer vision and LLMs to analyze machine health, detect early signs of wear, and answer operational questions instantly.
Guided repair execution
Capture images of faulty equipment and receive dynamic, step-by-step repair guidance. Computer vision identifies components, LLMs interpret issues, and agentic AI adapts instructions in real time—enabling faster, more accurate fixes with minimal supervision.
Vision analytics
Deploy computer vision at the edge to monitor operations, detect anomalies, and deliver real-time, scalable insights from visual data across enterprise environments.
Multilingual translation
Run LLMs and other AI models to translate documents across languages and convert scanned data to structured text via OCR—accelerating part identification, procurement, and global supply chain workflows with real-time, on-prem inference.
On-site skill gap support
Democratize AI adoption by empowering every worker with real-time, contextual guidance, bridging skill gaps and enabling consistent execution across roles and experience levels.
Blazing memory bandwidth
544 GBps memory bandwidth enables ultra-fast inference speeds for demanding workloads.
Large model ready
128 GB memory supports running larger models, including multi-modal and complex LLMs.
Lower power
150W power envelope delivers high compute efficiency with low energy footprint.
LLM powerhouse
Supports models up to 120B parameters, with 200k+ Hugging Face models validated.
Multi-tenant scalability
Multiple users per appliance, enabling collaborative and concurrent AI development.
High throughput inference
LLM: Up to 300 tokens/sec (LLAMA 3.1 8B)
CV: 23,000+ inferences/sec
Agentic AI capabilities
Supports autonomous agents that can reason, plan, and act across tasks—ideal for RAG, tool use, and workflow orchestration.
