Vecow RAC-1000 rugged Edge AI systems feature NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, waterproof ports, GMSL2 camera connectors

Vecow’s RAC-1000 series Edge AI systems are powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 32GB or 64GB system-on-modules, offering up to 275 TOPS of AI performance. These systems are energy-efficient and come with rugged I/O options and an IP67-rated enclosure, making them suitable for AI and robotics applications such as automated agricultural machinery, construction automation, and mobile robotics in extreme outdoor conditions.

The series includes two models: the RAC-1000, which supports 8 GMSL2 cameras through FAKRA-Z connectors for autonomous mobile robots, agricultural vehicles, and ADAS; and the RAC-1100, which features 6 GigE LAN ports with 4 PoE+ for vision AI applications. Both models are built for industrial environments and support various AI-driven tasks.

As you may know, we’ve previously covered several Vecow AI computing systems, including EAC-5000, EVS-3000, TGS-1000 Series, SPC-9000 fanless embedded system, ECX-3200, and EPBC-1000. Feel free to explore these options if you’re interested.

NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin based system

The RAC-1000 series supports the NVIDIA JetPack 6.0 SDK based on Linux for the deployment of AI workloads. The systems support wall-mounting installations.

As noted in the specifications, the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin-based RAC-1000 Edge AI systems are available in four variants: RAC-1000 R32/R64 and RAC-1100 R32/R64 with different ports and module options. However, the company hasn’t provided availability or pricing details yet. We can expect this type of hardware to cost a few thousand dollars. More information about the four variants can be found on the product page.
