Seeed Studio launches Jetson-based "reComputer Industrial" fanless Edge AI computers

We covered the actively-cooled reComputer J4012 Edge AI mini PC powered by Jetson Orin NX system-on-module last January, but Seeed Studio has now launched four fanless “reComputer Industrial” variants with an aluminum case, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, three USB 3.2 ports, an RS232/RS422/RS485 serial port, and a terminal block with four DI, four DO, and a CAN Bus.

The four different models simply use a different Jetson Xavier NX/Orin NX/Orin Nano module:

reComputer Industrial J2011 – NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX 8GB with a 6-core NVIDIA Carmel Armv8.2 64-bit CPU, 384-core NVIDIA Volta GPU with 48 Tensor Cores delivering up to 21 TOPS of AI performance, 8GB LPDDR4x, 16 GB eMMC flash
reComputer Industrial J3011 – NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano NX 8GB with a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE Armv8.2 64-bit CPU, 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores delivering up to 40 TOPS of AI performance, 8GB LPDDR5
reComputer Industrial J4011 – NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 8GB with a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE Armv8.2 64-bit CPU, 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores delivering up to 70 TOPS of AI performance, 8GB LPDDR5
reComputer Industrial J4012 – NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB with a 6-core Arm Cortex-A78AE Armv8.2 64-bit CPU, 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores delivering up to 100 TOPS of AI performance, 16GB LPDDR5

Two other models are also available, but only upon request: reComputer Industrial J2012 (Jetson Xavier NX 16 GB) and reComputer Industrial J3010 (Jetson Orin Nano 4GB).

Besides the different system-on-modules, all fanless reComputer Industrial models share the same specifications:

- Optional LoRaWAN mini PCIe module
USB – 3x USB 3.2 Gen1, 1x USB 2.0 Type-C(Device mode), 1x USB 2.0 Type-C for debug UART & RP2040
Serial – RS232/RS422/RS485 COM port (DB9)
Expansion
- Terminal block with 4x DI, 4x DO, 3xGND_DI, 2xGND_DO, 1xGND_ISO, 1x CAN bus
- Mini PCIe socket for 4G LTE or LoRaWAN module
- M.2 Key-B socket for 4G/5G module optional
Security – Optional TPM 2.0 via connector
Misc

- RTC socket for CR1220 battery, 2-pin connector for RTC
Power Supply – DC 12V-24V via 2-pin terminal block
Dimensions – 159 x 155 x 57mm
Weight – 1.57 kg
Temperature range – -20 ~ 60°C with 0.7m/s airflow
Humidity – 95% @ 40 °C (non-condensing)
Vibration – 3 Grms @ 5 ~ 500 Hz, random, 1 hr/axis
Shock – 50G peak acceleration (11 msec)
Certifications – FCC, CE, RoHS, UKCA

The reComputer Industrial ships with two mounting brackets (for VESA and/or wall mounting), a DIN rail bracket, a few screws, a 16-pin terminal block to easily connect the DIOs, a 19V power adapter without a power cord, and a 2-pin terminal block power connector.

The computer comes with the latest Ubuntu 20.04-based Jetpack 5.1 SDK including CUDA-X accelerated libraries, a Linux Driver package for the Linux kernel, the bootloader, NVIDIA drivers, flashing utilities, sample filesystem, and toolchains. The fanless computer also works with frameworks such as the NVIDIA DeepStream SDK, TAO Toolkit, and NVIDIA Riva Speech AI applications for AI-based multi-sensor processing, model training acceleration, and speech recognition.

Seeed Studio sells the NVIDIA Jetson-based reComputer Industrial Edge AI systems for $899 to $1,199 plus shipping with a 2-year warranty, but note that the computers all ship from a warehouse in China, so making use of the warranty may be complicated/costly.
