How the Nexcom Sets a New Benchmark in Mining and Heavy Industry

The rugged, IP67-rated ATC 3562, featuring NVIDIA Jetson Orin, delivers high AI inference performance for real-time analytics, collision avoidance, and multi-sensor data fusion in mining.  www.nexcom.com In sectors such as mining, construction, and heavy transportation, digital transformation increasingly depends on reliable edge-AI systems. These platforms must process high-volume sensor data directly on vehicles, support autonomy and safety functions, and operate continuously in remote areas where environmental stress is constant and network connectivity is limited. As operators adopt LiDAR-based navigation, AI-assisted collision avoidance, and real-time monitoring, the technical demands placed on embedded computing systems continue to rise. Rugged AI Performance Designed for Harsh Field Conditions The ATC 3562 is engineered specifically to meet the operational realities of modern mining sites, where dust, vibration, temperature fluctuations, and moisture are unavoidable. Its fully sealed IP67 chassis and compliance with MIL-STD-810H standards enable stable performance in environments that routinely disable conventional industrial computers. The system operates reliably from –25°C to 65°C, maintaining edge-AI workloads even when deployed on exposed machinery or mobile platforms. At the core of the system are NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules that provide scalable AI inference performance. The fanless configuration built on the Jetson Orin Nano SoM reaches up to 67 TOPS in Super Mode, while the variant equipped with Jetson Orin NX and an active cooling kit increases processing capability to 157 TOPS. This range of performance options positions the ATC 3562 as a flexible platform for everything from basic analytics to advanced autonomous-driving tasks in heavy-industry vehicles. Real-Time Sensor Fusion for On-Vehicle Autonomy Modern autonomy in mining depends on the ability to merge LiDAR, camera, and positioning data within milliseconds. The ATC 3562 has been designed around this requirement. It supports multi-channel GMSL2 camera inputs, high-throughput Gigabit Ethernet for LiDAR sensors, and high-speed PCIe 4.0 storage to sustain continuous data capture and near-instantaneous retrieval. When combined with expansion options for GNSS, LTE/5G, and Wi-Fi 5/6, the platform enables real-time perception, terrain mapping, object recognition, and collision avoidance with minimal latency. By bringing data fusion and inference directly to the vehicle, the system reduces dependency on cloud connectivity and ensures uninterrupted decision-making in remote mining zones where bandwidth is scarce. Power Flexibility and Seamless Integration for Mobile Fleets Mining vehicles face irregular power availability, making electrical resilience a key differentiator among edge-AI systems. The ATC 3562 accommodates a wide 9–36V DC power range with built-in ignition control and protective circuitry, allowing stable operation across diverse vehicle architectures. Its connectivity suite supports both modern and legacy industrial interfaces, enabling integration with telematics, control systems, and platform sensors without major modification. Remote operations benefit from optional 5G and Wi-Fi modules, which maintain connectivity for telemetry transmission, predictive maintenance, and over-the-air updates, even when equipment is deployed far from centralized infrastructure. Platform Reliability and Certification for Heavy-Duty Deployment Beyond ruggedization, certification is increasingly important for operators seeking equipment that can be deployed globally without additional compliance work. The ATC 3562 includes CE, FCC, UKCA, E-mark, EN 50155, and EN 45545-2 certifications. It runs NEXCOM’s Acceleration Linux OS with JetPack 6.2, providing an optimized environment for AI workloads and ensuring compatibility with NVIDIA’s software ecosystem. A Differentiated Edge-AI Platform for Mining’s Next Generation As demand grows for autonomous haulage, advanced driver assistance, and AI-supported operations in heavy industry, the ATC 3562 stands out by combining ruggedized hardware, scalable NVIDIA Jetson performance, and extensive sensor-fusion capabilities in a single platform. Its ability to sustain high-performance AI workloads under extreme environmental stress differentiates it from general-purpose industrial computers and positions it as a purpose-built solution for the next era of intelligent mining mobility. www.nexcom.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
