Advantech Launches TREK-60N, the Pioneering Dual-system Edge AI Platform for Harsh Environments

Advantech, a leading provider of in-vehicle computing solutions, is please to announce TREK-60N. Designed for high performance computing in harsh environments, TREK-60N is equipped with an Intel Core processor and NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX. It boasts a ruggedized design, including ISO 7637-2 compliance, 5M3 shock & vibration resistance and fanless operation with a wide temperature range.

Dual-System Modular Platform empowers high computing demands

To meet the growing demand for computing performance, TREK-60N takes it one step further with its innovative dual-system design. This advanced computing platform is equipped with two embedded processing systems, catering to edge AI applications. Powered by a liable and powerful Intel® Core™/Atom™ E3940 processor, TREK-60N delivers stable high-performance computing capabilities, ideal for multitasking. Additionally, it integrates the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX as the AI Accelerator, offering an impressive 70 TOPS of computing ability. This enables real-time multi-stream AI computing and facilitates the simultaneous execution of multiple applications.

Ruggedized to withstand operation in harsh environments

TREK-60N is purposefully constructed to endure rugged handling in demanding heavy-duty and transport-related environments. Its rugged and industrial-grade design ensures reliable operation within a wide temperature range, even for high-temperature demanding CPUs that can function without airflow and undergo full-function burn-in conditions. The platform also supports 12/24V vehicle power, compliant with ISO 7637-2 standards. For added protection against dust and water, an optional IP65-rated cover can be equipped for the rear I/O. Notably, TREK-60N incorporates an industrial-grade SSD, enhancing its resistance to vibration and shock. It meets EN60721(5M3) certification standards, enduring 3 G_rms of vibration, which is 3 times stronger than MIL-STD-810G requirements.

Futureproof solution with easy expansion and scalability

TREK-60N is crafted to offer scalability, catering to diverse applications and unique requirements. With its RF extension module and scalable I/O support, seamless migration to RF technologies such as Wi-Fi 6E, 5G and V2X become effortless. The platform enables convenient expansion and integration of optional peripherals, including advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) modules, enhancing driving safety. Additionally, TREK-60N can be seamlessly paired with second-generation 7" & 10"TREK smart displays through a single-cable connection, facilitating visualization applications.
