into devices such as meters, controllers, energy storage systems and EV chargers. These modules handle real-time control and local data processing. They ensure fast response times and reduce dependency on centralised systems. Together, this architecture enables every device to become intelligent, while the entire building operates as a coordinated system.
WHY ADVANTECH CHOOSES NXP
I.MX 95
The NXP
i.MX 95 processor is designed not just for AI performance, but for industrial intelligence. It integrates CPU, GPU, NPU and MCU into a single platform, enabling both high-level computing and real- time control. With up to six Cortex-A55 cores and a 2 TOPS NPU, it supports AI applications efficiently, while the integrated Cortex-M7 and M33 cores handle real- time control and safety-critical tasks. The platform also provides strong security through EdgeLock Secure Enclave, ensuring secure boot, key management and data protection. Functional safety features, including support for ISO 26262 and safety island architecture, make it suitable for industrial environments. In addition, the
i.MX 95 offers a long product lifecycle of up to 15 years, ensuring stability for long- term deployments. With tools such as the NXP eIQ toolkit and Advantech WEDA AI SDK, developers can easily deploy and optimise AI applications at the edge.
RESULTS
With this platform, Advantech and its customers have moved from project-based development to platform-based growth.
Development cycles are significantly shortened, as the same software framework can run across both SMARC and OSM modules. System costs are reduced because there is no need to redesign for each project. Energy efficiency is improved through real-time decision-making at the edge. At the same time, the system can scale easily from a single room to a building and even to an entire community. This unified platform enables consistent performance, faster deployment and better long-term value.
CONCLUSION
BEMS is no longer just about monitoring energy consumption. It has become the core system driving energy transformation, from passive observation to real-time decision-making and continuous optimisation.
With the combination of Advantech’s modular design and NXP
i.MX 95’s industrial intelligence, this transformation is not only possible, but already happening.
Smart buildings are no longer just efficient; they are becoming intelligent systems that can think, adapt and evolve.
