Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming automation technology. Where rigid, rule-based processes
once dominated, today machine learning algorithms enable adaptive and self-optimizing workflows. This leads to
significant efficiency and quality improvements in areas such as predictive maintenance, optical quality
inspection, and adaptive process control.
Currently, around 40 % of industrial companies in Germany already use
AI in their business processes, and the trend continues to rise (source:

Institute).
To unlock the full potential of AI models in practice, a reliable hardware foundation is essential. Industrial
PCs not only provide the necessary computing performance but also the industrial robustness required for
continuous operation in harsh environments. With modular expansion options, such as GPU acceleration, systems
can be tailored precisely to the requirements of each AI application.
Depending on the application scenario, different form factors are used – from high-performance 19-inch rack
systems to flexible box PCs, rugged compact devices, and energy-efficient edge solutions.
This diversity makes
it possible to select the right system for each task while at the same time preparing for future developments.
