Decision Toolkits for Edge AI Computing


Optimize Factory Process Control with Industrial Edge Computing

Why Is This Toolkit Essential for Process Control Engineers?

As factories push toward greater automation, real-time insights, and higher production efficiency, traditional computing systems often fall short—especially in harsh industrial environments. This toolkit is built specifically to help those that are looking to deliver real-time data processing, rugged reliability, and flexible I/O integration directly at the source of operations.

This toolkit is built for Factory Process Control Engineers who is looking to:

  • Reduce latency and improve real-time process monitoring
  • Increase system reliability in harsh industrial environments
  • Minimize cloud dependency for faster, local decision-making
  • Deploy industrial grade, fanless edge computers for factory automation

The Challenges of Factory Process Control

Today’s factories are generating more data than ever, but without the right computing infrastructure, that data can quickly become overwhelming—or worse, unusable. Our toolkit will cover the major pain points and challenges that many modern factory automation processes are facing:

  • Downtime & Maintenance Costs
  • Harsh Environments
  • IoT Connectivity Management
  • Regulatory Compliance

Key Considerations for Manufacturing Process Control Engineers

1. Real Time Performance

Can your computing solution process data locally to reduce lag and optimize feedback loops? Look for edge systems with power efficient and high-performance processors to smoothly manage workloads.

2. Connectivity

Ensure the system supports legacy serial ports, digital I/O, and multiple LAN interfaces to connect with PLCs, sensors, and controllers.

3. Environmental Durability

Deployments in industrial environments demand ruggedized hardware. Fanless, industrial-grade systems that withstand harsh temperatures, dust, and debris ensure continuous operation in harsh conditions.

4. Secure, Reliable Operation

Protect sensitive manufacturing data with TPM 2.0 hardware-based encryption and ensure 24/7 uptime with rugged components and wide temperature support.

5. Compliance & Certifications

Regulatory adherence ensures reliability and safety in public infrastructure. Confirm that devices meet industry certifications (UL, CE, FCC) and comply with data privacy, security, and environmental standards required.
