An industrial PC is, first and foremost, a computer. In modern machines and systems, however, it is much more
than that: It processes data, visualizes processes, communicates with other systems, and provides the technical
foundation for applications such as edge computing, machine vision, IIoT, and artificial intelligence. For
Spectra, the industrial PC is therefore the heart of modern automation.
It is precisely this understanding that is reflected in “Industrial PC – Powering Automation,” and it goes
beyond mere hardware. After all, high-performance automation requires more than just a powerful computer. What
is crucial is a system solution tailored to the specific application, comprising computing, communication, and
automation technology.
The requirements for an industrial PC could hardly be more diverse. Robotics, process visualization, image
processing, and test and inspection stations each demand different characteristics. While compact dimensions
and numerous interfaces are crucial in a decentralized machine application, AI and vision applications require
high computing and graphics performance.
At the same time, industrial computers must be reliable, durable, and
available over the long term.
