Speed And Performance With Intel® Core™ Processors
Highly efficient and reliable Intel processors meet all the demands for upcoming edge applications. The advantages of a low power but high performing CPU provide rugged edge computers the flexibility for wider thermal performance and a fanless design. By increasing compute performance at the edge, local workloads can be processed in real-time without needing to rely on external cloud servers to reduce network bandwidth and latency. For example, factory operators can have accurate real-time data insights as smart sensors monitor and measure for quality on automated production lines. This way, strategic decisions can be made based on data as it happens.

Device Support and Port Expandability
Premio’s rugged edge computers offer support for a multitude of legacy and modern peripheral devices with I/O port variety. In preparation for Industry 4.0, many manufacturers using traditional machinery can leverage edge computing technology to gather data analytics and insight for strategic decisions. By giving expandable options for systems integrators, rugged edge computers provide a flexible platform for integrating various sensors and actuators for the rising IoT landscape.



Flexibility, Mobility and Remote Deployment
Rugged edge computers are ideal for mobile integration in any scenario. Outfitted with CAN Bus protocol support, they are geared for in-vehicle platforms that can gather data from the interconnecting sensor network of vehicles including trucks, railway and even heavy machinery. The combination of a robust aluminum chassis with a small footprint featuring a fanless design help rugged edge computers to be embedded in tight spaces with high reliability. As the growth of IoT continues to expand, a wide network of distributed rugged edge computers serve as the solution for future innovation.
FAQ
A rugged edge computer is a fanless industrial grade computer that brings computation and data storage physically closer to where an application is operating in harsh usage conditions. Local IoT sensors and devices can process data through local edge computers for faster response times with lower latency instead of sending it to a distant cloud data center for off-site processing. Rugged edge computers are fortified and proven to operate reliably in extreme environments where typical computers are guaranteed to fail due to either severe hot or cold temperatures, dust or debris, humidity, widely varying voltage sources, and shock or vibration. With a higher MTBF (mean time between failure), rugged edge computers provide reliable mission critical operation for industrial IoT application systems.
Wireless Connectivity
Access to wireless data communications in Bluetooth, Wifi, cellular 4G LTE and future technologies enable rugged edge computers to integrate into modern infrastructures as the number of wireless sensors and devices grow exponentially. Industries needing machine-to-machine communication, real-time data monitoring, GPS/GNSS location tracking and autonomous systems benefit from utilizing wireless technology in edge computers.
Mobility and Remote Deployment
Rugged edge computers are designed with small form factors and rugged qualities for mobile and remote integration where applications often have space fitting constraints and harsh operating conditions. In addition, rugged edge computers feature watchdog system monitoring functions to minimize detrimental downtime out in the field due to the lack of on-site technical support.
Performance Accelerators
An increase in compute capabilities is a major driving force for rugged edge computing. Performance accelerators in the form of more powerful microchips (CPU, GPU, VPU) and faster storage drives empower IoT applications with real-time local processing through an edge computer instead of relying on the cloud for off-site computation.
Variety of I/O Ports and Expandability
The flexibility of rugged edge computers to interconnect with a wide variety of legacy and modern devices, controllers or machinery allows it to capture valuable data insights for actionable results. These ports include COM, USB, GPIO/Digital I/O, LAN/PoE, and expansion ports in PCI/mini-PCIe/PCIe.
Ruggedness and Hardware Security
What sets a rugged edge computer apart is its durability to operate in harsh environments with 24/7 mission critical reliability. Purpose-built for rugged deployments means a true fanless design, wide operating temperatures, wide voltage inputs, and shock and vibration resistance. In addition to strengthened rugged qualities, cryptographic security is essential to protect the digital data communications between devices from external attacks.
