Syslogic Announces New AI-Enabled Embedded Computers
With the Jetson Orin Nano 2, NVIDIA is introducing the second generation of its compact edge AI module. The new SoM (system-on-module) delivers twice the inference performance of its predecessor while consuming 40% less power at the same performance level. Embedded computing specialist Syslogic is announcing several rugged embedded computers based on the Jetson Orin Nano 2.
For years, NVIDIA Jetson Nano has provided a particularly compact and energy-efficient entry point into the Jetson platform. Now, NVIDIA is launching the next generation with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2. The new module delivers up to 78 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of AI performance and features 8 GB of memory and an 8-core Arm CPU.
Compared with the Jetson Orin Nano Super, NVIDIA has doubled inference performance. This is made possible, among other improvements, by enhanced Tensor Cores and increased memory bandwidth. As a result, current large language models (LLMs) and vision language models (VLMs) can also be run directly at the edge.
40% lower power consumption at the same performance
In addition to increased AI performance, the improved energy efficiency is particularly relevant for industrial applications. In 15-watt mode, the Jetson Orin Nano 2 consumes 40% less power than its predecessor at the same performance level.
Lower power consumption reduces thermal stress on the electronics and facilitates the development of compact, passively cooled embedded systems. At the same time, it provides additional thermal headroom, which is particularly beneficial for applications operating across extended temperature ranges. This makes the Jetson Orin Nano 2 well suited for mobile machinery, autonomous vehicles, and robotics applications where compact dimensions, high reliability, and low power consumption are critical.
Syslogic to launch rugged computers with Jetson Orin Nano 2
Syslogic is announcing several IP67/IP69-rated versions of its Rugged Computer RPC RS based on the new NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2. Michael Jung, Product Manager at Syslogic, says: “In the first half of 2027, we will launch the particularly compact AI Rugged Computer RPC RS with Jetson Orin Nano 2.”
In terms of performance, the new systems will serve as the entry point into Syslogic’s NVIDIA Jetson portfolio. In terms of ruggedness and longevity, however, they will meet the same demanding standards as the company’s more powerful rugged computers. The new devices will be designed for an extended temperature range of –25°C to +70°C and will feature Syslogic’s proven rugged housings.
For computer vision and Edge AI
The new embedded computers are particularly well suited for computer vision and inference tasks such as person and object detection. Typical applications include mobile machinery, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and intelligent vision systems.
The NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 2 module is expected to become available in the first half of 2027. Syslogic also plans to launch its Jetson Orin Nano 2-based rugged computers in the first half of 2027.
