In today’s era of connected mobility, transportation computers are evolving from simple data-logging machines into intelligent edge platforms that power autonomous vehicles, smart fleets, and AI-driven operations. These systems must do more than survive: they must think, adapt, and deliver actionable insights in real time. Nowhere is this transformation more critical than in heavy industries like mining, where vehicles operate in remote, high-risk environments, and every decision impacts safety, efficiency, and cost. Designed to meet these challenges head-on, the ATC 3562 delivers ruggedized edge AI performance built to endure — and excel — at the frontline of modern mining.
Rugged intelligence for real-world mining conditions
Mining environments are punishing: dust, vibration, temperature swings, and moisture are routine. The ATC 3562 is purpose-built to withstand them all. It features an IP67-rated chassis, is certified to MIL-STD-810H standards for shock and vibration, and operates reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -25°C to 65°C.
Powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano™ in “Super Mode,” the fanless ATC 3562-IP7-NA4M model delivers up to 67 TOPS of AI inference performance. For even greater processing power, the Jetson Orin™ NX-equipped ATC 3562-IP7-NX4MF, with fan kit, pushes performance up to 157 TOPS. With this combination of rugged design and scalable AI capability, the ATC 3562 ensures that real-time analytics, object detection, and hazard recognition continue uninterrupted, allowing mining operations to maintain uptime and safety even in the toughest field environments.
Multi-sensor edge technology for smarter autonomy
Modern mining sites rely on a complex web of data streams, including LiDAR, GMSL2 cameras, and GPS systems. The ATC 3562 is designed to handle them all, fusing multi-modal data at the edge for instant analysis and decision-making.
- 4-channel GMSL2 input + two GbE for high-throughput video and sensor data capture
- PCIe 4.0 ×4 NVMe SSD slot for ultra-fast local data storage and retrieval
- Expandability for GNSS, LTE/5G NR, and Wi-Fi 5/6 modules for seamless connectivity
By combining these capabilities, the system supports object detection (e.g. personnel, vehicles, rock faces), collision avoidance, and terrain mapping, all with minimal latency.
Flexible power and connectivity for mobile mining platforms
Mining vehicles and mobile platforms often face volatile power conditions. The ATC 3562 supports a wide DC voltage range (9V to 36V) with ignition control, ensuring stable operation across different vehicle types. Its broad I/O suite, including USB 3.2, OTG, isolated CAN bus, RS-232, DI/DO, and HDMI®, makes integration straightforward with telematics modules, control systems, and legacy interfaces. Optional 5G and Wi-Fi modules maintain high-speed connectivity for telemetry, software updates, and AI model retraining, even in remote outposts.
