Neousys NRU-156-JON8 Jetson Orin NX 8GB Flattop Fanless Edge AI Computer with 6x USB 3.2

Industrial USB3 cameras are a common choice for close-range inspection, but each one needs a full-bandwidth port and a connector that stays in place. The NRU-156-JON8 provides six, behind a flattop heatsink for sealed enclosures. It is the 8 GB USB3 build of the Neousys NRU-150-FT series of fanless edge AI computers, with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB module.

The Orin NX 8GB module has 8 GB of LPDDR5 at 3200 MHz and runs the NVIDIA JetPack toolchain, which suits defect detection, measurement and classification on a modest number of USB3 streams. The NRU-156-JON8 ships with a 128 GB NVMe drive in the M.2 2242 socket at PCIe Gen4 x2, carrying a pre-installed system image.

Six USB 3.2 ports with screw-lock retention, two at Gen2 (10 Gbps) and four at Gen1 (5 Gbps), give each camera full bandwidth, and two USB 2.0 ports cover peripherals. A GbE port links the plant network, and serial I/O is one RS-232 port and one isolated RS-485 port for PLCs and reject gates. A DisplayPort output runs at 3840 x 2160, and a micro USB OTG port sits inside. Where larger models or more streams are planned, the NRU-156-JON16 moves to the 16 GB module, and the NRU-154-JON8 swaps the USB ports for four PoE+ ports.

Power is 12 V DC. Mounted on a 50 x 50 cm metal plate or cabinet, the NRU-156-JON8 runs from -25 °C to 60 °C in 20 W mode with no throttling, or -25 °C to 45 °C without that conduction. Vibration and shock are tested to MIL-STD-810H, and the 116 x 171 x 27 mm chassis weighs 1.0 kg.
