2. How to Choose the Right Product for Your Scenario?
Let’s break down the selection by use case:
① Industrial Sites (e.g., Defect Detection, Automation)
Recommended: reComputer Jetson Industrial Series
If you need a fanless, wide-temperature, and vibration-resistant industrial computer, go for the Industrial series.It features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (one with PoE), RS232/422/485 industrial interfaces, and can be directly mounted on DIN rails. Ideal for warehousing, agriculture, and security monitoring—stable and reliable.
② Harsh Environments (Outdoor, Construction Machinery, Mining)
Recommended: reComputer Rugged Series (e.g., Rugged J4012, new product coming soon)
If you need to deploy an AI computer directly on engineering machinery or in fully exposed outdoor environments, the standard Industrial series isn’t enough—you need the Rugged series.
- IP66 Full Waterproof: All interfaces are waterproof (4×waterproof USB, 4×waterproof PoE Ethernet ports).
- True Vehicle-Grade Power & Protection: Supports 19-48V wide-voltage input (directly connect to trucks/mining trucks/tractors), operates from -20°C to 60°C, and passes vibration and EMC certifications.
- Designed for Sensor Fusion & Control: Includes 2×isolated CAN, 1×RS232/422/485, 2×DI/DO—easily connect mmWave radar, LiDAR, and vehicle control signals.
- Multi-Port & Connectivity: 5×Gigabit Ethernet ports (4×waterproof PoE) for direct power and data transmission to outdoor cameras/LiDAR; supports 5G/GPS/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.
- Perfect for autonomous shuttles, mining trucks, port AGVs, smart buses, etc. Not officially launched yet—reserve samples or discuss solutions in advance.
③ Multi-Camera + Large-Storage Inference Center
Recommended: reServer Industrial Series
If you need to process multiple network cameras simultaneously or build a local knowledge base (RAG), choose reServer Industrial.
It has 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports (4×PoE), 2×SATA HDD expansions, and up to 100 TOPS of computing power. Ideal for warehouse management, assisted driving, and local AI assistants.
④ Rapid Prototyping / Direct Mass Production
