Why Integrate AI into Industrial Computers?

AI technology has been the talk of every major city around the globe since CES. At GTC and NVIDIA® AI summit, NVDIA showed the potential of AI revolutionizing smart cities, manufacturing, agriculture and our daily lives. Among the above mentioned application areas, it is no doubt that industrial computers are the preferred computing platforms, especially in the edge. It is because unlike general purpose computers—such as desktops used at homes or in offices, industrial computers are special breeds of personal computers (PCs) deployed or embedded in an automatic/autonomous system. They provide niche computing power to collect and analyze data, enable control / monitor systems, and as well as M2M or human-machine communications.

Integrating AI into an industrial PC is like creating the learning and reasoning abilities of the human brain, command high degree of autonomy and require minimum human intervention. Some people see them as the enabler of the 5th industrial revolution which marks the paradigm shift from IoT to AIoT


What do you call an industrial computer with AI?

AI is made possible by integrating PCs with powerful GPUs. When it comes to a computer integrated with GPU card, lots of names come to mind – embedded GPU computer, edge AI computer, GPU computer, industrial GPU computer, edge AI platform, GPU platform, vision computer, etc.

The development of industrial GPU computers devices has enabled the technological advancement of industrial applications. Industrial solutions are tightly related to IoT solutions that involve heavy computing tasks such as AI, machine learning, and deep learning.

Industries Utilizing Industrial GPU Computer

  1. Manufacturing
  2. Intelligent Transportation System
  3. Warehouse Logistic
  4. Agriculture
  5. Mining
  6. Military Defense

AI is sprinting its way into our daily lives. The addition of a GPU card enables the AI capability of industrial computers. Although it complicates the already environment-challenged system in terms of cooling, installation, and power delivery, but as one of the pioneers of integrating GPUs into industrial PCs, Neousys offers a wide range of field-tested industrial PCs supporting entry to advanced GPU accelerators capable of deploying across industries on a global scale.
