FAQ

Industrial monitors and panel PCs used in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries have stringent requirements to avoid product contamination, for them to be highly resistant to water, cleaning or sterilization wipe-downs and other industrial chemicals exposed in the factory.

Manufacturing the industrial monitor or panel pc with the right grade stainless-steel chassis or front panel means that it will meet the functional anti-corrosive requirements.

It is becoming increasingly common that small ruggedized PCs are nowadays tackling compute-intensive tasks that call for powerful graphics hardware that enable leading-edge performance in a fanless, solid-state system, which is hard to do, as it must equivalate power consumption, cooling capacity, cost and system reliability.

These systems typically integrate either a VPU (Vision Processing Unit) or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and have the option to maintain a fanless design.

NVMe SSDs are the latest adaptation to industrial computing. NVMe stands for Non-Volatile Memory Express and is the new communication interface and driver that defines a command set and feature set for PCIe-based SSDs with the goal of increased performance and interoperability on a broad range of industrial systems.

E Ink Technology ultimately focuses on allowing customers high-performance solutions whilst meeting their ultra-low power consumption needs. Highly suitable for industries such as the healthcare, retail, and outdoor signage sectors.

The Jetson AGX Orin modules deliver an AI performance that can reach 275 TOPS with up to 64 GB of memory, compared to 30 TOPS with up to 32 GB of memory for Jetson Xavier.

The power consumption of the Jetson Orin modules has also been optimised like never before, offering a maximum consumption of 60 W compared to a maximum of 40 W with Jetson Xavier.

Edge computing is the practice of processing data physically closer to its source.

In a nut shell… moving compute power physically closer to where the data is generated – to the “edge” of a device or network.

Many innovative technologies are made possible thanks to edge computing, such as Smart cities, remote surgeries, fully autonomous vehicles and voice-controlled home speakers.

Data can be processed faster with increases in available bandwidth and ensures data sovereignty, when incorporating ‘Edge’ Computing.

To install electronic equipment on a train it must comply with certain criteria for environmental, shock, vibration, power supply, EMC, power surge, ESD and transient factors that could occur when in use.

For obvious reasons, systems must be reliable and able to withstand more abuse than a standard embedded computer, especially if employed for telematics, engine control or other critical roles within the vehicle.
