Description
The Neousys NRU-170-PPC series is a 10.1″ IP66-rated AI panel PC powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX or Orin Nano, delivering up to 100 TOPS of AI performance. Designed for edge AI applications requiring water resistance and human-machine interaction, it is ideal for use in ADAS for off-highway vehicles, autonomous marine systems, AI-based food inspection, smart livestock management, and precision agriculture.
With NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, the NRU-170-PPC excels in AI inference, offering up to 100 sparse TOPS (INT8) and the ability to process up to 18 simultaneous 1080P video streams. Its waterproof design is achieved through advanced engineering, high-quality waterproof connectors, and standardized cable kits, ensuring reliable performance at a competitive price. The 10.1″ touchscreen features 1000 cd/m² brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and functionality for single-finger touch even in wet conditions, making it well-suited for semi-outdoor applications.
The series includes two models:
- NRU-171V-PPC, supporting six GMSL2 automotive cameras with pre-integrated drivers for sensors such as IMX390, ISX031, and IMX490.
- NRU-172S-PPC, featuring four PoE+ GbE ports for IP and industrial GigE cameras, along with a waterproof GbE port for external computers or LiDAR integration.
Additional features include an 8V to 35V DC input, ignition power control, a CAN FD bus port, an RS232 port, and expansion slots for mini-PCIe or M.2 B-key modules supporting CAN, WiFi, or 4G LTE/5G NR communication. Its compact, all-in-one design simplifies in-vehicle cabling for seamless deployment.
By combining ruggedness, advanced AI processing, IP66 protection, and extensive camera connectivity, the NRU-170-PPC series provides a versatile and cost-effective edge AI platform for smart agriculture, mining, construction, animal husbandry, outdoor autonomous robots, and edge inspection applications.
