Railway Grade Computers
FORECR’s railway computers are engineered to drive the digital transformation of modern rail transport, offering smarter, safer, and more efficient solutions for rolling stock and wayside applications. As the industry shifts toward autonomous operations, our hardware provides the necessary railway GPU support to handle massive volumes of real-time data at the edge.
Built upon the robust architectural legacy of our Rugged Computers, these systems are designed to withstand the unique challenges of the railway environment. Meeting durability standards that rival our Military Grade Computers, FORECR’s rail solutions ensure continuous operation despite extreme vibration, shock, and temperature fluctuations, making them the ideal choice for mission-critical railway embedded systems.
Engineering the Future of Smart Rail Transport
As the railway industry demands higher efficiency and autonomy, FORECR provides the robust hardware backbone needed for success. Our railway embedded systems combine the raw processing power of NVIDIA Jetson with certified railway grade durability, ensuring your operations remain safe, connected, and continuously efficient in any environment.
High-Performance AI at the Edge
Modern trains require more than just standard processing. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson modules (including Rail Orin solutions and Nano rail), our systems deliver server-class railway computing power. This enables advanced applications such as real-time obstacle detection, autonomous driving assistance, and intelligent railway signaling industrial PC operations without relying on cloud latency.
Certified Railway Grade Durability
The railway environment is harsh. Our railway grade computer lineup is rigorously tested to meet industry standards (such as EN50155, EN45545-2 HL3, EN61373, EN60068, IP67 compliance requirements) for shock and vibration. Featuring a sealed, fanless design, every railway PC acts as a robust railway resistor against dust, moisture, and mechanical stress, ensuring zero downtime in moving trains.
Versatile Mounting & Integration
Space is always at a premium in train cabinets and trackside enclosures. We offer flexible installation options, including din rail mount industrial computer designs and din rail box PC solutions. These compact units fit seamlessly into existing infrastructure, providing powerful embedded pc din rail capabilities even in the most confined spaces.
Advanced Connectivity & Telemetry
Data flows are the lifeline of smart rail. Our systems feature rugged M12 connectors and support complex network configurations, making it easy to manage a railway static IP or integrate telemetry for railway applications. Whether for passenger information systems or train-to-ground communication, our railway IO interfaces ensure secure and stable data transmission.
Predictive Maintenance & Operations
Shift from reactive to proactive maintenance. Our embedded computers for rail system operations and maintenance allow operators to monitor train health in real-time. By analyzing vibration and thermal data on the edge, our railway GPU systems help predict component failures before they occur, significantly reducing maintenance costs and preventing delays.
Long-Term Reliability & Security
Rail infrastructure projects span decades. FORECR provides long-term lifecycle support and custom training for rail integration, ensuring your hardware remains available and up-to-date. Coupled with advanced security features to protect embedded software rail applications from cyber threats, our rail approved PC solutions offer a future-proof foundation for the connected railway era.

Frequently Asked Questions
A railway grade computer must comply with strict industry standards, primarily EN50155 and EN61373. These certifications ensure the hardware can withstand the severe shock, continuous vibration, extreme temperature fluctuations, and electromagnetic interference found on rolling stock. FORECR’s solutions are engineered to meet these rigorous demands, acting as a reliable backbone for mission-critical operations.
Integrating railway GPU capabilities, such as those provided by NVIDIA Jetson modules, enables real-time processing at the edge. This is crucial for applications like autonomous obstacle detection, driver drowsiness monitoring, and predictive maintenance. For heavy-duty AI workloads requiring maximum processing power, we recommend our RAIBOX-AGX, powered by the Jetson AGX Orin.
Standard connectors (RJ45, USB) can disconnect due to vibration. Therefore, railway embedded systems utilize robust M12 connectors (X-coded for Ethernet, A-coded for power/IO) to ensure secure, lockable connections. Our RAIBOX-ORNX features these specialized interfaces, making it ideal for secure data transmission in moving trains.
Yes. Trains often experience voltage spikes and drops. Our railway PCs are designed with wide-range DC power inputs and isolation protection to handle these fluctuations. This ensures that the system performs reliably whether connected to a locomotive’s main supply or a wayside power source.
Absolutely. For system integrators and manufacturers looking to build their own custom enclosures or specialized railway embedded systems, we provide RAIBOARD-AGX and RAIBOARD-ORNX. These railway grade carrier boards offer all the necessary rugged interfaces for rapid development.
The choice depends on your computational needs.
For high-end AI applications like autonomous train driving and real-time multi-camera fusion, the RAIBOX-AGX (Jetson AGX Orin) delivers server-class performance.
For space-constrained applications like PIS (Passenger Information Systems), signaling, or track monitoring, the RAIBOX-ORNX (Jetson Orin NX) offers an excellent balance of performance, power efficiency, and compact size suitable for DIN rail mounting.
