Industrial automation is becoming increasingly intelligent. As machines, sensors and production systems generate more data, the ability to process that data close to where it is created becomes increasingly important.
InHand EC5550 brings powerful AI computing directly to the industrial edge. Powered by the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB platform, it combines high-performance AI processing, industrial connectivity and flexible application deployment in a compact, fanless industrial computer. Designed for industrial automation, machine vision, intelligent monitoring and industrial IoT, the EC5550 provides a powerful platform for applications where real-time processing, reliable connectivity and remote management are essential.
Why Choose the InHand EC5550?
The EC5550 combines high-performance AI computing, industrial connectivity and flexible software support for demanding edge applications.
Key advantages:
Designed for demanding AI workloads at the industrial edge, the EC5550 delivers GPU-accelerated computing for applications such as machine vision, visual inspection, anomaly detection and predictive maintenance.
With the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB and up to 157 TOPS AI performance, the EC5550 provides the processing capacity needed for advanced AI applications directly at the machine or production line. Processing data locally can help reduce latency and enable faster responses without relying on cloud-based processing.

The EC5550 features 2 × Gigabit Ethernet ports with 15 W PoE PSE per port, two serial ports, 4 digital inputs (DI) and 4 digital outputs (DO).
Support for RS-232/485/422, CAN FD and industrial protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet/IP and OPC UA enables flexible integration with machines, sensors and existing automation systems.

Flexible connectivity is essential for remote and distributed industrial installations. The EC5550 supports 5G NR or 4G LTE Cat 6, together with Ethernet and Wi-Fi.
Dual SIM support, network link detection and automatic redial provide additional connectivity resilience for applications where reliable communication is essential.

The EC5550 combines Linux, NVIDIA JetPack and Docker support to provide a flexible platform for deploying AI applications directly at the industrial edge. Developers and system integrators can run machine vision, data analytics, and intelligent automation applications close to the machines and processes where data is generated.
For distributed installations, DeviceLive adds centralized remote management, allowing users to configure devices, manage containers and applications, and perform firmware updates remotely. This makes it easier to deploy and maintain AI solutions across multiple machines, sites or production environments.
Built for continuous operation in industrial environments, the EC5550 features a fanless metal housing, DIN-rail mounting and a wide 9–36 V DC input range. Its compact 180 × 160 × 60 mm form factor and operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C make it well suited for installation in industrial control cabinets and automation systems.
