New Product Launches: Expanding Our Portfolio

 
This year was not lacking with product launches. From our newest
x86 semi-rugged line to our NVIDIA Jetson series, we welcomed a wide spectrum of products to push the boundaries of Industry 4.0 applications.  

Most importantly, we helped define the Edge Continuum by defining distinct categories —Industrial Edge, Rugged Edge, and Specialized Edge. These buckets provided a clearer framework to categorize our products, enabling customers to better understand and select the right solutions for their unique needs. Through this distinction, it’s allowed us to align our products within the edge – which shines a better light on the key design benefits and features that make our products Built Rugged, Built Ready. 

Throughout this year, we’ve had the joy of launching brand new product series and introducing significant upgrades to our product portfolio. Take a look at everything that we’ve not only launched but are also proud to call award-winning products.
