Wide Automation Protocol Support
Robust Industrial PCs seamlessly integrate newer IIoT technology and cyberphysical systems with legacy equipment through expansive protocol support. Workloads can be consolidated through hardware supporting prominent automation protocols like CANOpen, EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET
Secure System Controllers and Gateways
Facilities committing to digital transformation rely on safe technology to bridge vulnerable OT systems with IT. Decentralized hardware secured by trusted platform modules (TPM) eliminate openings for malware injections, while AI immediately detects aberrant system behavior that can produce undesired kinetic results.
Versatile Wireless Connectivity
Industrial PCs boast several wireless connection features like Wi-Fi, 4G/LTE and Bluetooth to guarantee seamless communications with equipment, sensors, the cloud and other network systems from “noisy” factory floors.
Diverse Analog and Digital I/O Option
Diverse I/O Option
Industrial PCs support workload consolidation with a reduced hardware footprint through widely-utilized I/O options. LAN/PoE, CAN Bus, serial options, independent display ports, and digital and general purpose I/O connections bring tasks together through a single piece of hardware.

Computer Vision with Industrial PCs
Industrial PCs with GPU leverage powerful parallel processing toward deep learning models to analyze and respond to optical input. Systems form understanding of visual data to initiate preventative maintenance, equipment redirection, system recalibration, resource reallocation or human intervention. Computer vision brings several advancements to industrial facilities.
Industry 4.0 Use Cases that Leverage Industrial PCs
Industrial PCs serve an integral role automating the Smart facility. Through intelligent processing, streamlined interconnectivity and rugged design, Industrial PCs maintain high performance in a variety of modern industrial applications.
Machine Vision
Machine Vision performs numerous automated functions from image input, from barcode and optical character reading to color analysis to controlled comparison inspection. Machine vision systems carry out visual identification functions with far greater speed and reliability than human monitoring can deliver.
Metrology
Computer Vision in an instrumental component in metrology deployments demanding exacting precision. GPU-powered metrology computers detect flaws imperceptible to human sight, and can use computer vision intelligence to initiate maintenance, equipment redirection, system recalibration and resource reallocation.
Robotics
Robotics process visual data related to their tasks and surrounding to make intelligent performance decisions. Systems with computer vision acuity can anticipate and adjust to changes in their workflow and environment, creating a safer, more productive facility. Machine learning inference analysis refines robotic processes over time, improving speed and efficiency.
HMI Automation
Industrial Panel PCs are intelligent, intuitive, interactive Human Machine Interface (HMI) solutions that provide the critical operations control window for ICS and SCADA systems. HMI automation delivers faster processing, more storage capacity, and wireless connectivity than legacy static HMIs to manage sequential tasks and control multiple functions efficiently.
