Built for the Field. Not the Lab.
The Connect Tech Falcon Vehicle System is a production-ready, IP67-rated edge AI compute platform powered by NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX - designed to mount directly on heavy equipment and operate in the harshest real-world conditions.
AI That Deploys on the Machine, Not Near It
Dust. Mud. Sub-zero mornings and scorching afternoons. These are not edge cases for agriculture, construction, and mining equipment - they are the operating conditions. Most compute platforms fail in these environments before they ever reach production.
Connect Tech built Falcon to survive what kills everything else. IP67-rated for dust and water ingress. Fanless, with no moving parts to seize or fail. Engineered for continuous operation across extreme temperature swings, vibration loads, and contaminant exposure that is routine on construction sites, in open-pit mines, and across farm fields.
Falcon brings real-time perception, decision-making, and autonomy directly onto the vehicle - not into a cab enclosure, not into a protected control box, but onto the machine itself. On-machine mounting shortens sensor cable runs, reduces latency, and eliminates dependence on cloud connectivity that is often absent at the worksite.

IP67-Rated Enclosure
Fully-sealed against dust ingress and water immersion, Falcon is rated and tested for the worst conditions in agriculture, construction, and mining - not approximated for them.
Fanless, No Moving Parts
A fully-passive thermal design means no fans to seize, no vents to clog, and no scheduled maintenance for cooling components. Sustained AI performs across the full operating temperature range.

Vehicle-Native Connectivity
Up to four GMSL2 camera inputs for high-resolution video over long cable runs. Dual T1 Ethernet (100BASE-T1 or 1000BASE-T1) for single-pair vehicle networking. Two CAN 2.0B interfaces for direct access to vehicle control and diagnostic networks. Standard Gigabit Ethernet for external connectivity.
High-Speed Storage and Expansion
The Jetson Orin NX with Super Mode support delivers high-performance AI inference for demanding real-time workloads - perception, object detection, path planning, and language model inference at the edge.
Pre-Validated, Ready to Deploy
Falcon ships pre-flashed with a platform-specific JetPack Board Support Package - configured and validated for this hardware. Teams start development from a known baseline, not from hardware bring-up.
Collision Avoidance and Proximity Warning
Multi-sensor perception detects personnel, vehicles, and obstacles in real time, helping prevent accidents in crowded and low-visibility environments.
360 Degree Surround Vision
A real-time composite view around the full perimeter of large vehicles eliminates blind spots during maneuvering, loading, and reversing operations.
Autonomous In-Cabin Assistance
LLM, VLM, and VLA models running at the edge enhance operator experience, support decision-making, and help bridge the skills gap created by labor shortages.
Machine Guidance and Path Following
Supports semi-autonomous grading, trenching, and compaction by maintaining accurate positioning and following predefined routes or surfaces.
Predictive Fleet Monitoring
On-device analytics track machine health, usage patterns, and anomalies - feeding actionable intelligence to fleet operators without requiring continuous cloud connectivity.
"If a system can't withstand dust, vibration, heat, and moisture, autonomy is irrelevant. Falcon is engineered as a vehicle-mounted, IP67 platform designed to run at the edge, enabling real-time decision-making that reduces risk, minimizes downtime, and delivers systems operators can trust in the field."
