Backplane Systems Technology is pleased to present VECOW’s RAC-1000. The VECOWS RAC-1000 is a state-of-the-art rugged AI computing system designed for automated agricultural machinery, powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™ platform. This system delivers exceptional AI performance of up to 275 TOPS, thanks to the NVIDIA Ampere™ architecture with 2048 CUDA® cores and 64 Tensor cores.

One of the standout features of the RAC-1000 is its support for up to 8 GMSL 1/2 automotive cameras, connected via Fakra-Z connectors. This capability is crucial for applications requiring high-speed, low-latency video input, making it ideal for advanced machine vision tasks in agriculture. The GMSL technology ensures that data from multiple cameras can be transmitted over long distances with minimal signal degradation, maintaining high image quality even in challenging environments.

The system’s IP67-rated chassis ensures it is both anti-dust and waterproof, making it durable in harsh agricultural settings. Additionally, it offers extensive connectivity options, including 6 GigE LAN ports (4 with PoE+), 2 USB 3.1 ports, and a PCIe Gen3 x8 expansion slot for further customization. The wide-range DC 9V to 50V power input with software ignition power control enhances its adaptability across various power sources.
