PCs Get a Ruggedized Makeover for AI and IIoT Apps
What you’ll learn:
- Insight into ruggedized PCs for AI and IIoT applications.
- PC hardware and software configurations.
- Potential applications for these ruggedized systems.
As the artificial intelligence (AI) boom continues to expand, it’s facilitated a need for ruggedized systems capable of handling AI and industrial IoT (IIoT) applications in harsh conditions across many industries, such as those found in manufacturing, aerospace, military, and space exploration. High temperatures, vibration, moisture, and dust can wreak havoc with electronic components, making ruggedized systems an ideal solution to mitigate those issues.
This roundup looks at a handful of ruggedized computers designed to maintain peak performance in such harsh environments. Each of these systems highlights innovative technologies that not only meet strict requirements, but also exceed them while maintaining peak performance. These are just a few examples of what’s currently on the market, and we can expect a slew of next-gen solutions to arrive as the technology evolves.
