Fanless Mini METIS - IP66
• Fanless waterproof Edge AI Computer • Model: FM-METIS-66 (12V)
Engineered for outdoor computer vision inference with a fully sealed design that eliminates the need for an external cabinet, delivering reliable, low-maintenance AI performance where efficiency and continuous operation matter most.
FEATURES
Sealed edge AI, taken outdoors.
The FM‑METIS‑66 brings the Axelera Metis platform to outdoor and harsh‑environment deployments. Housed in a sealed, IP66-rated enclosure, it performs computer vision workloads directly at the edge including object detection, classification, tracking, segmentation, and video analytics without the need for an external cabinet.
Designed for permanent outdoor deployment, the FM-METIS-66 is powered by a 12V connector accessory rather than a mains power cord. It is well suited to applications such as traffic monitoring, perimeter security, industrial automation, and logistics, where reliable edge AI processing is required in challenging conditions.
AI acceleration - Axelera Metis® AIPU
Powered by the Axelera Metis® AI Processing Unit, a quad-core AI accelerator purpose-built for edge AI inference. It enables real-time object detection, classification, tracking, segmentation and multi-stream video analytics directly where data is generated, reducing bandwidth consumption, minimizing latency and keeping sensitive data on-site.
Host processor
An ARM-based Rockchip RK3588 host processor works alongside the Axelera Metis® AIPU to run the operating system, application software and the pre- and post-processing stages of the AI inference pipeline, providing a balanced platform for high-performance edge AI workloads.
AI software - Voyager® SD

Connectivity
Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports are provided as standard, with optional Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE connectivity for networked and remotely managed edge AI deployments.
Fanless, passively cooled design
A fully fanless, passively cooled architecture eliminates moving parts, reducing power consumption and maintenance requirements. Without fans to draw dust and debris into the enclosure, the platform is well suited to reliable long-term operation in industrial environments while offering improved resistance to shock and vibration.
IP66-rated enclosure
A dust‑tight enclosure protected against high‑pressure water jets allows deployment in outdoor and wash‑down environments
Chassis & sustainability
The in-house designed and precision-machined aluminium chassis is engineered for efficient passive cooling, strength and long-term durability. Manufactured using repurposed and recycled aluminium wherever possible, with production waste recycled as part of the manufacturing process, it supports a more sustainable approach to edge AI hardware.

ENGINEERING & SUSTAINABILITY
Engineered in-house for performance and sustainability
The chassis is designed and precision-machined in-house, not sourced as an off-the-shelf enclosure. Its geometry is optimized for efficient passive cooling, structural strength and long-term reliability, with a design proven across extended operating temperatures.
The same engineering approach supports sustainability. The chassis is manufactured using repurposed and recycled aluminium wherever possible, while aluminium waste generated during production is recovered and recycled, reducing material waste without compromising performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
The FM-METIS-66-12V is built on the Axelera Metis® AIPU, a quad-core AI Processing Unit using Axelera’s Digital In-Memory Computing (D-IMC) architecture, purpose-built for computer-vision inference at the edge.
The Metis AIPU is programmed with Axelera’s Voyager® SDK, which supports common frameworks PyTorch, ONNX and TensorFlow (via ONNX) alongside a library of pre-trained models. Model preparation follows Axelera’s pipeline-based workflow.
It is intended for environments with a DC power source, it is provided with a power connector as an accessory to facilitate that specific connection.
Yes. A single Metis AIPU can run multiple concurrent video streams and several parallel neural networks, which suits multi-camera analytics. Actual stream counts depend on the models and resolution used.
Yes. Inference runs locally, so data is processed where it is created reducing bandwidth use, keeping data on-site, and removing dependence on a continuous cloud connection.
Computer-vision tasks, object detection, classification, tracking, segmentation and video analytics.
Controlled options, operating-system deployment, software preload and branding are available and do not alter the certified platform baseline. Requirements that need mechanical, thermal, electronic or certification change route to Tranquil Studio.
The FM-METIS-66 is fully sealed, passively cooled and fanless, with no moving parts suited to unattended outdoor operation with low maintenance.
Yes. Its sealed IP66 construction is dust-tight and water-jet resistant, so it can be mounted roadside, on building exteriors or in exposed industrial areas without an external cabinet.
