Edge AI (the use of AI algorithms on devices located at the edge of a network) and machine learning (ML) work together to bring the power of artificial intelligence to local devices, enabling them to perform intelligent tasks without relying on constant internet connectivity or external cloud servers. Edge AI involves deploying ML models directly…
Technology has come such a long way that it has become standard for many electronic devices we’re accustomed to using to have some sort of water resistance—from watches and phones to tablets and other touch screens. In specific industrial applications where the environment’s temperatures can range from hot to freezing, or moist to dehydrating, it…
The battery life of medical grade tablets or rugged tablets can vary significantly depending on factors such as the tablet’s specifications, usage patterns, and the tasks it’s being used for. In some industries, the life of a battery can mean the world of difference in terms of delivery effective and prompt services. Hot-swappable batteries for…
Rugged tablets—not your off-the-shelf product (COTS)—but handheld computers that are versatile, powerful, tough, and portable. Ruggedize, military-grade tablets are often found in healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, construction, and utilities. In warehouse management, rugged tablets offer a more flexible and reliable solution, with lower failure rates compared to nonrugged devices. They are especially appealing as IoT…
Technological advancements have come a long way, especially in the Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT). They have enhanced communication and connectivity, allowing people to connect with others across the globe, access information instantly, and stay connected. This “Industry 4.0” has further revolutionized various industries, increasing productivity, efficiency, and convenience in areas like transportation, agriculture, manufacturing…
Panel PCs are commonly used in industrial automation, manufacturing, transportation, medical equipment, retail, and other sectors. They provide a compact and integrated solution for control, monitoring, data collection, and human-machine interaction in these environments. The design of industrial panel PCs allows them to withstand harsh conditions, such as temperature variations, dust, humidity, and vibration, making…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices or sensors that can communicate with each other and with other services over the Internet. These devices can range from tablets and laptops, to smartphones and smart home gadgets. However, managing and synchronizing these devices can be challenging, especially when they are offline or disconnected,…
The increase of connected equipment and IoT devices has forced Industry 4.0 to grow beyond cloud computing. In order to process the large amounts of data being collected by these devices in real-time, we have turned to Edge computing. Cloud computing has allowed us to offload compute nodes at the expense of bandwidth, but as…
The end of 2020 and beginning of 2021 has shown an uptick in searches and inquiries for Tablet PCs and Panel PCs with Linux Operating Systems. The bulk of those searches are for Linux Tablet PCs. With industrial panel PCs that handle Linux natively and rugged tablet PCs that can utilize Linux as a custom…
