To help improve daily operations across many industries, there is now an ever-growing need for embedded computers capable of handling video analysis and intensive computing workloads at the edge. However, not every Embedded PC can live up to the needs of this vital sector. Key issues include a mismatch between performance level and workload, and performance degradation due to the harsh environment.
Issues frequently encountered with embedded computers:
Performance
Unable to perform edge video analysis due to computing power being capped by size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints.
Stability
Harmful electromagnetic interference (EMI) in industrial environments degrades the performance circuitry.
Reliability
Harsh industrial environments, including high temperatures, dust ingress, and vibration pose serious hazards to the stability of computers.
Compatibility
Tedious troubleshooting tasks resulting from different vendors’ add-on cards that have not been desiogned to work together in the embedded PC.
ADLINK’s embedded computer guarantee:
- Delivery of high performance per watt with 9th Gen. Intel® processors and NVIDIA GPU accelerators to address SWaP constraints. The GPU’s can be either fanless MXM embedded graphics cards using the nVidia Quadro processors, or standard/industrial grade PCIe graphics cards (PEG cards) using nVidia Quadro, Tegra or Geforce processors.
- Compliance with EN61000-6-4/-2 standards for use in EMI- sensitive industrial applications.
- Adoption of strict fanless thermal design and validation for withstanding -20°C to 70°C extreme operating temperature, and stainless enclosure for resisting humid or corrosive environments.
- A comprehensive series of machine vision, motion control, and data acquisition cards with 100% compatibility.
