Toradex Verdin System on Module with NXP i.MX 8M Plus - Now Shipping

22 April 2021, Horw, Switzerland: Toradex is extending its successful Verdin System on Module (SoM) Family with modules featuring the NXP® i.MX 8M Plus applications processor. The NXP i.MX 8M Plus is a perfect fit for the Verdin standard.

Interface highlights include HDMI, LVDS, 2x MIPI CSI Camera Interfaces, Dual Ethernet with Time-Sensitive Networking, 2x CAN-FD, PCIe Gen 3, USB 3.1, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and much more.


The NXP i.MX 8M Plus features 4x Cortex-A53 @1.8 GHz and a powerful GPU supporting OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan, and OpenCL. The integrated Cortex-M7 microcontroller @800Mhz can handle low latency and real-time tasks. Error Correcting Memory (Inline ECC) increases the reliability.

Vision and Machine Learning applications profit from a high performance yet low power 2.3 TOPs Neural Network Processor Unit (NPU) and Integrated Image Signal Processor (ISP). Compared to GPUs and CPUs, NPUs are more effective to run neural networks as they are highly optimized for this task. The NPU gives the Verdin iMX8M Plus excellent performance, while the low power consumption keeps the temperature down and allows for a small form factor and outstanding price performance.

The ISP allows high-performance image preprocessing directly on the SoM. This means a wide range of camera sensors can be used even if they do not have an ISP integrated. Toradex partnered with Vision Components to enable several Sony Sensors ideal for industrial, agriculture and medical applications.

The Verdin iMX8M Plus is fully compatible with the Verdin Family. This means you get all the advantages that make it so easy to integrate a Verdin in your design, such as, wide input voltage range, advanced peripheral power management, a reliable edge connector, off-the-shelf thermal solutions, extensive design guides, and a ready ecosystem.

As with any Toradex System on Module, the Verdin iMX8M Plus comes with extensive Software support. Including Reference images for the Yocto Project and full support of Torizon.

Torizon simplifies the development and operation of your products. It allows you to continue to improve your product in a secure and reliable way. Its integration with development tools such as Visual Studio Code allows for customization without building your own Yocto-based distribution. It also comes with automotive-grade Over-The-Air update services to simplify field updates. A comprehensive ecosystem of off-the-shelf software and integration partners reduces project risk and lowers the time-to-market.

The Verdin iMX8M Plus will also be at the core of the upcoming Maivin - a modular full-stack AI Vision System, in partnership with Au-Zone and Vision Components.

The Verdin iMX8M Plus is available immediately in the Toradex webshop. To learn more and get a detailed list of supported features, please visit: https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules/verdin-arm-family/nxp-imx-8m-plus

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
