Overview

Introduction

The NRU-170-PPC series is an IP66-rated, 10.1" AI panel PC, powered by NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Orin™ Nano, delivering up to 100 TOPS of AI processing capability. This series is tailored for edge AI applications that demand water resistance and human-machine interaction, including ADAS for off-highway vehicles, autonomous marine vessels, AI-driven inspection in food processing, smart livestock management, and precision agriculture.

Leveraging the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX, the NRU-170-PPC achieves superior AI inference, offering up to 100 sparse TOPS (INT8) and the ability to transcode up to 18 simultaneous 1080P video streams. The series also incorporates waterproof features at a competitive price point, accomplished through a refined mechanical design, the use of carefully selected waterproof connectors, and standardized cable kits. For adaptability in various semi-outdoor environments, the unit is equipped with a 10.1" touch panel boasting 1000 cd/m² brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio, with the added functionality of single-finger touch sensitivity in wet conditions.

The NRU-170-PPC series includes two models: the NRU-171V-PPC, supporting up to six GMSL2 automotive cameras with pre-integrated drivers for select cameras utilizing IMX390, ISX031, and IMX490 CMOS sensors; and the NRU-172S-PPC, which offers four PoE+ GbE ports for IP or industrial GigE cameras. Additionally, a waterproof GbE port is provided for interfacing with external computers or LiDAR. The NRU-170-PPC is designed as a compact, all-in-one edge AI platform that simplifies in-vehicle cabling. It supports an 8V to 35V wide-range DC input, ignition power control, a CAN FD bus port, and an RS232 port. Expansion options include a mini-PCIe socket for CAN/ COM/ WiFi modules and an M.2 B-key socket for 4G LTE/ 5G NR communication modules.

By integrating a 10.1" touch panel, IP66 rating, Orin NX AI performance, and comprehensive onboard camera connectivity, the NRU-170-PPC strikes an optimal balance between ruggedness, performance, cost efficiency, and ease of deployment. It represents a cutting-edge edge AI solution for applications in smart agriculture, mining, construction, smart animal husbandry, edge inspection, and outdoor autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
