The NRU-230V-AWP is a robust, IP66 waterproof computer powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin designed for edge AI applications in harsh environments, such as roadside locations, food and chemical factories, mines, construction sites, farms, or harbours. It aims to redefine rugged Edge AI by offering waterproof features at an affordable price, achieved through a streamlined mechanical design, a standardised cable kit, and carefully chosen waterproof connectors.
The NRU-230V-AWP, powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, provides up to 275 sparse TOPS (INT8) AI inference and can transcode up to twenty-two 1080P simultaneous video streams. To cater to diverse camera requirements for vision-based AI applications, the NRU-230V-AWP offers 4x waterproof M12 PoE+ GbE ports for industrial GigE cameras or IP cameras, and 8x waterproof GMSL2 FAKRA ports for automotive cameras or industrial stereo cameras. Moreover, the waterproof Type-C connector provides 4K DisplayPort output for ADAS applications requiring real-time surround-view awareness. A waterproof 10GbE port is also included for high-speed data communication.
For in-vehicle deployment, the NRU-230V-AWP has a wide DC input range of 8V to 48V, ignition power control, 2x isolated CAN bus ports, 1x RS232 port, and 1x isolated RS485 port. It also features two mini-PCIe sockets for CAN/COM/WiFi modules and one M.2 B-key socket for 4G LTE/5G NR mobile communication modules. In terms of storage, the NRU-230V-AWP comes with 64GB eMMC on the Orin module and an M.2 2280 NVMe socket for fast SSD read/write speeds, along with two internal 2.5" SSD slots for storage expansion. Lastly, the NRU-230V-AWP includes a system monitoring port to report the latest power, thermal, and Jetson status via an onboard automotive-grade MCU for potential functional safety system design.
The combination of IP66 waterproof capability, AGX Orin AI performance, and its rich onboard I/O strike a balance between ruggedness, performance, and cost. It is an ideal waterproof edge AI platform for industrial vehicles, outdoor AMRs, edge inspection, and roadside applications.
