Differences Between NVIDIA Jetson Commercial and Industrial Versions
NVIDIA Jetson™ modules are powerful AI computing platforms designed for edge applications, offering high-performance processing yet efficient power consumption in compact form factors. They are widely used in various domains, including robotics, autonomous machines, and intelligent video analytics. Jetson modules are available in both commercial and industrial versions to cater to different operational requirements.
Key Distinctions Between Commercial and Industrial Modules
| Feature | Commercial Version | Industrial Version |
| Ambient Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C | -40°C to 85°C |
| Power Configuration | Fixed power profiles | Configurable power profiles (e.g., 15W to 75W) |
| Thermal Design | Standard thermal solutions | Enhanced thermal solutions for rugged environments |
| Durability | Suitable for standard applications | Designed for harsh environments with higher reliability |
| Environmental Tolerance | Limited to controlled environments | Resistant to shock, vibration, IP rating (dust/ waterproof capabilities) and extended temperature ranges |
| Hardware Features | Standard components | Industrial-grade components with extended lifecycle support |
| Software Support | Standard JetPack™ SDK | JetPack™ SDK with extended support and reliability features |
The differences between commercial and industrial Jetson modules significantly influence their suitability for various applications:
- Commercial Modules: Ideal for applications in controlled environments, such as indoor robotics, smart kiosks, and standard industrial automation systems.
- Industrial Modules: Designed to withstand deployments in harsh conditions, including outdoor surveillance, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) operating in extreme temperatures, and in-vehicle systems exposed to constant vibration and temperature fluctuations.
Choose the right module, coupled it with specialized design can ensure optimal performance, reliability, and longevity of the deployed system in harsh environments
