acontis technologies Announces Support for NVIDIA Jetson Thor

Weingarten, Germany – August 25, 2025 – acontis technologies, a leading provider of EtherCAT® and real-time Hypervisor software, is proud to announce upcoming support for the new NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform.

Powered by an NVIDIA Blackwell GPU and featuring 128GB of memory, Jetson Thor delivers up to 2070 FP4 teraflops of AI compute to effortlessly run the latest generative AI models — all within a 130-watt power envelope. Compared with its predecessor, NVIDIA Jetson Orin™, Jetson Thor delivers up to 7.5x higher AI compute and 3.5x greater energy efficiency.

The new system-on-module solves one of the most significant challenges in robotics: running multi-AI workflows to enable robots to have real-time, intelligent interactions with people and the physical world. Jetson Thor unlocks real-time inference, a critical component for perception and navigation in applications spanning humanoid robotics, agriculture and surgical assistance.

acontis has a long history of enabling high-performance, real-time communication and motion control for robotics, humanoids, and industrial automation. Our EtherCAT software solutions are already trusted in millions of devices worldwide, and now powering next-generation applications built on NVIDIA Jetson modules.

With Jetson Thor, acontis will extend this expertise to support the next generation of AI-enabled robotics and autonomous systems. By combining acontis’ industry-leading EtherCAT MainDevice software EC-Master with Jetson Thor’s unprecedented compute performance, developers will gain the deterministic communication, low-latency control, and scalability required for advanced humanoids, mobile robots, medical systems, and industrial machines.
