Introducing our new partner: EdgeCortix

December 16, 2025

Empowering Edge AI with high-performance, low-power acceleration
 

TOP-electronics is proud to announce our new partnership with EdgeCortix, a specialist in energy-efficient AI acceleration for edge computing.

This partnership aligns with our mission to provide reliable, high-performance technologies that drive intelligence, efficiency and predictable performance across embedded systems and industrial applications for the long term.

Founded in Japan with a strong global presence, EdgeCortix specializes in deploying high-performance, low-power AI inference platforms optimized for real-time applications at the edge.

Their flagship technology, the SAKURA™ and SAKURA-II AI accelerators, leverage a proprietary Dynamic Neural Accelerator (DNA) architecture, enabling significant performance-per-watt advantages for demanding AI workloads such as:

  • Vision-based inference

  • Natural language processing

  • Generative AI (GenAI)

  • Audio and multi-modal transformer models


For integration into your designs, EdgeCortix offers multiple form factors:

  • PCIe accelerator cards for server or edge appliances

  • M.2 modules for compact embedded platforms

  • System-on-Module (SoM) solutions for custom designs


All supported by the MERA™ software development toolkit, which simplifies deployment of complex AI models in space and power constrained environments, ideal for embedded, industrial, automotive, aerospace and defense applications.


Core application markets where this partnership adds real value:

  • Robotics and drones

  • Smart cities and smart infrastructure

  • Smart manufacturing and industrial automation

  • Embedded, automotive, aerospace and defense systems


With EdgeCortix in our portfolio, TOP-electronics strengthens its offering for AI at the edge.

Through this partnership, TOP-electronics strengthens its offering in AI at the edge solutions, providing our customers with access to scalable, flexible, and power-efficient AI acceleration technologies that meet the demands of current and future intelligent embedded and industrial systems.

We combine AI acceleration technology with design-in support, technical sparring and a focus on long-term availability and supply reliability. Interested in exploring how this fits your architecture or development roadmap?
