Customer Overview: Supporting a Leading Global Defence and Security Organisation
BVM was approached by a leading defence and security company with operations across the UK, Australasia, Canada, France, and South Africa, alongside exports to numerous international markets. The organisation develops advanced technology solutions that help create a safer and more secure world, delivering innovative capabilities across defence, aerospace, and critical infrastructure sectors.
The customer required a portable demonstration platform capable of showcasing advanced AI and edge computing applications in a professional and highly mobile format.
Requirements: Developing a Compact AI Demonstration Platform
The customer needed a self-contained demonstration system built around the powerful NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX embedded AI platform. The solution needed to be portable, robust, and simple to deploy during customer presentations, exhibitions, technology demonstrations, and field evaluations.
Key requirements included:
- Integration of an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX AI computing platform
- A rugged portable enclosure suitable for transport
- Integrated 7-inch display for system monitoring and demonstrations
- Professional appearance suitable for customer-facing environments
- Compact and lightweight design for easy deployment
- Reliable operation in a variety of locations
Design Challenges: Combining Performance, Portability and Protection
Creating a demonstration platform that delivered powerful AI processing while maintaining portability presented several design challenges.
The system needed to securely house the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX platform, display hardware, cabling, and supporting components within a rugged protective enclosure. Careful consideration was required to optimise internal layout, maintain accessibility, and ensure the solution could withstand transportation between customer sites, exhibitions, and demonstration environments.
Additionally, the integrated display needed to provide clear visibility while maintaining the compact footprint demanded by the application.
BVM’s Custom Design Solution: Rugged Pelican Case Integration with Embedded AI Computing
BVM designed a bespoke portable demonstration platform centred around the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX embedded AI module.
The solution integrated the Jetson Orin NX and a high-quality 7-inch display within a rugged Pelican-style protective case. The custom design provided a professional, self-contained system that could be rapidly deployed wherever demonstrations were required.
The enclosure offered excellent protection during transportation while allowing easy access to the embedded computing platform. The integrated display enabled users to monitor system operation and showcase AI-powered applications without requiring additional external equipment.
By combining rugged mechanical design with advanced embedded computing technology, BVM delivered a highly practical demonstration platform tailored to the customer’s exact requirements.
Project Outcome: A Professional Portable AI Demonstration System
The completed solution provided the customer with designs for a robust and portable AI demonstration platform capable of showcasing NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX performance in a wide range of environments.
The compact design simplified transportation and setup, while the integrated display and rugged enclosure created a professional demonstration system suitable for exhibitions, customer meetings, proof-of-concept demonstrations, and technology evaluations.
The project demonstrated BVM’s ability to design bespoke embedded computing solutions that combine advanced AI hardware with custom mechanical integration and ruggedised design.
