Backplane Systems Technology has launched the Neousys NRU-154PoE-FT, an advanced NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Edge AI Computer, designed for high-demand applications requiring AI inference capabilities. The edge AI computer delivers up to 100 TOPS AI inference performance, making it suitable for a range of industrial and environmental conditions. It is equipped with a flattop heatsink design, optimised for fanless operation within sealed enclosures, thereby enabling performance in temperatures ranging from -25 to 60°C without thermal throttling, even at a 20 W TDP.

Designed for efficiency, the edge AI computer features 4x 2.5GbE PoE+ ports, enabling direct connectivity to IP and industrial GigE cameras, while its sibling, the NRU-156U3-FT, features 6x USB 3.2 ports for industrial USB3 camera connections. These full-bandwidth ports are designed to facilitate data transmission, crucial for applications in edge inspection, AI-based factory automation and environmental monitoring.

The NRU-150-FT series, powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and bundled with JetPack 5.1, aims to push the boundaries of edge computing. Its comprehensive suite of ports, including 1x RS-232, 1x isolated RS-485 and an M.2 2242 M key NVMe slot, enhances its utility in scenarios such as metal processing, food processing, smart agriculture and roadside applications.

This edge AI computer’s design prioritises performance and durability to help operations remain uninterrupted in environments laden with dust, metal particles or fluids.
