Sixfab walked out of CES 2026 with the Best of Innovation award in Enterprise Tech, beating 3,600 submissions. The interesting part isn’t the trophy — it’s that the whole box is a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 wired to DeepX’s DX-M1 accelerator. No Jetson. 25 TOPS INT8 at about 3.5W average draw.
What’s in the box
Fanless ruggedized industrial gateway: CM5, NVMe storage, dual Ethernet, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, global 4G LTE/eSIM, HDMI out, GPIO, and 9–30V DC or USB-PD power. Built to live in a factory closet or roadside cabinet and run real-time camera analytics — defect detection, safety violations, anomaly spotting — without ever uploading footage. Keep video local, kill the cloud inference bill.
How an agent drives it
Sixfab ships ALPON Cloud with a REST API over a K3s container runtime. Push containerized models OTA, pull device health, read inference outputs remotely. The agent loop writes itself: an LLM hits the cloud API, pulls defect events from a fleet of X5s on a production line, opens tickets, retrains a model, pushes the new one out the same way. Closest thing to “eyes in the field” an agent can drive without ever touching the hardware.
Price and availability
Kickstarter Super Early Bird $549, Special $599, MSRP $750. Five-pack at $2,495 with deployment support. Open now through the ALPON X5 AI Innovator Program.
