Portwell Launches PJAI-100-ON Fanless Edge AI System with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano for Industrial Applications
Portwell has introduced the PJAI-100-ON, a fanless compact system designed for Edge AI applications, built with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano module. A rugged and silent design is featured, capable of operating in a wide temperature range from -20°C to 60°C, making it suitable for diverse environments. The system has up to 8GB LPDDR5 memory, multiple expansion options including M.2 NVMe storage and wireless connectivity slots, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed networking. Various I/O options are also supported, including USB 3.2 ports, serial COM ports, and CANbus for industrial applications. Its fanless design ensures low maintenance and reliability, while its small form factor (152 x 112 x 62 mm) and optional mounting options (wall mount or DIN-Rail) provide flexible deployment in space-constrained environments. It is perfect for applications such as AI-driven edge computing, robotics, automation, and IoT devices, where durability and quiet operation are essential.
Previously, we have written about some fanless products like the QBiX-ADNAN97-A1, the ASUS IoT EBS-P300, and the MSI MS-C918S. We have also covered some Jetson Orin Nano embedded systems, including the Boxer-8621 AI, the Aetina, the EAI-I131 by Lanner Electronics, and many more. Feel free to check those out, if you are interested in these products.

The Portwell PJAI-100-ON fanless system is designed to withstand challenging environments with robust environmental tolerance. It supports vibrations of up to 5G (10-500 Hz) for IPC setups and 1G (10-500 Hz) when using wall or DIN-Rail mounts. Additionally, it can endure shocks of up to 50G/11ms for IPC configurations and 15G/11ms with wall or DIN-Rail mounts. The system offers flexible installation options, including wall-mount or DIN-Rail setups (optional), and operates seamlessly with BSP Jetpack 5.1.3 or above. However, the company has not confirmed the specific operating system yet.
The packing list includes the PJAI-100-ON fanless system as the main component, provided in a quantity of one. Additionally, an accessory box is included, containing a wall-mount kit, a DIO connector, a 3-pin terminal block, and foot pads, also in a quantity of one.
At the time of writing, Portwell has yet to announce pricing or availability for the PJAI-100-ON Jetson Orin Nano fanless embedded system. However, you can request a quotation here. More information is available on the product page along with the datasheet.
