Forecr RAIBOX-AGX NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin EN 50155 Railway Computers

Running AI on a train means the computer has to cope with constant shock and vibration, a supply that moves with the vehicle, dust and water ingress, and the fire-safety rules that apply to everything fitted in a carriage. The Forecr RAIBOX-AGX series is built for that brief: railway computers that put the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module inside an enclosure designed to meet EN 50155, EN 45545-2 HL3, EN 61373, EN 60068 and IP67, aimed at predictive maintenance, video analytics and autonomous railway operations.

Every RAIBOX-AGX shares one set of interfaces. Eight GMSL2 camera inputs on FAKRA connectors sit alongside one 10G Ethernet port, one Gigabit Ethernet port, one USB 3.0 Type-C port, three USB 3.0 Type-A ports and an HDMI 2.0 output at up to 3840 x 2160. Field wiring runs through two isolated CAN bus ports, two isolated RS-232/422/485 ports and four isolated digital inputs and outputs. Every field connector is a Phoenix Contact M12: X-coded for both Ethernet ports and A-coded for power, serial, CAN and digital I/O. Two M.2 Key-M slots take SSDs, two M.2 Key-B sockets and two SIM slots carry LTE or 5G modems, and an M.2 Key-E socket adds WiFi and Bluetooth. Power comes from a 10-36V DC input, and each unit runs Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 with JetPack 5.x or 6.x. A 6-axis IMU and temperature sensor on the board add data for condition monitoring.

The range splits by module. The RAIBOX-AGX-32S carries the Jetson AGX Orin 32GB with 32GB of 256-bit LPDDR5x memory, sized for camera analytics and perception models with moderate memory needs. The RAIBOX-AGX-64S moves to the Jetson AGX Orin 64GB, doubling memory for larger models and more concurrent camera streams. The RAIBOX-AGX-64I fits the Jetson AGX Orin Industrial module, the configuration Forecr rates for -40°C to +70°C ambient, for unheated vehicles and trackside cabinets. All three share the same enclosure, interfaces and power input, so the choice comes down to model size and operating temperature rather than wiring.

Typical work for the RAIBOX-AGX includes onboard video analytics, support for train control and signaling systems, and trackside monitoring, with security and surveillance, industrial automation, energy and agriculture as further fits. The 322 x 222 x 101 mm enclosure carries the railway standards above, covering railway electronics, fire protection, shock and vibration, environmental testing and ingress, which keeps these railway computers in line with what rolling-stock integrators specify and lets one design serve both onboard and trackside roles.
