Neousys NRU-150-FT NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Flattop Fanless Edge AI Computers

Edge inspection often happens where the air is the problem: metal dust, flour, moisture or salt. A finned computer in that air clogs or corrodes, so the usual answer is a sealed enclosure, which then needs a computer that can shed heat through its wall. Neousys built the NRU-150-FT for that job, pairing the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX with a flattop heatsink that conducts heat to the outside of the box.

Every NRU-150-FT runs a Jetson Orin NX module with 8 GB or 16 GB of LPDDR5 at 3200 MHz, and Neousys rates the series at up to 100 TOPS of inference within a 25 W power package. Each ships with a 128 GB NVMe drive in the M.2 2242 socket at PCIe Gen4 x2, carrying a pre-installed system image with JetPack. Camera ports run at full bandwidth per port, so each stream gets its own link. The chassis measures 116 x 171 x 27 mm without its wall-mount bracket and weighs 1.0 kg, and Neousys rates it from -25 °C to 60 °C in 20 W mode when mounted on a 50 x 50 cm metal plate or cabinet.

Four models cover two camera types and two memory sizes. The NRU-154-JON8 and NRU-154-JON16 have four 2.5GbE ports with 802.3at PoE+ from a 50 W budget, for IP and industrial GigE cameras, with 8 GB and 16 GB modules respectively. The NRU-156-JON8 and NRU-156-JON16 have six USB 3.2 ports with screw-lock, two Gen2 and four Gen1, for industrial USB3 cameras. The 16 GB modules give more room for larger models and more streams.

All NRU-150-FT models share a GbE port, an RS-232 port and an isolated RS-485 port, two USB 2.0 ports, a DisplayPort output at 3840 x 2160 and a 12 V DC input. Vibration and shock are tested to MIL-STD-810H. Without heat conduction from the flattop, Neousys rates the fanless range at -25 °C to 45 °C, so mounting against metal is part of the design. These fanless edge AI computers suit dust-, water- or flame-proof enclosures in metal, wood, food and chemical processing, smart farms, roadsides and harbours.
