Heat management has always been the bane of smaller computers, especially in Industrial applications. And with embedded PCs increasingly using GPUs, managing excess temperatures has become trickier than ever. So how do embedded PCs keep themselves cool, often when they don’t even have fans? Let’s find out. Why Do Computers Produce So Much Heat? Before […]

AI-powered tools are being rolled out in all types of industries, and manufacturing is no exception. But what can AI even do in manufacturing? Here’s an overview. AI-Powered Robotics Using robotic arms in manufacturing is nothing new – industrial robots have been deployed in the assembly line for a while now, carrying out repetitive tasks […]

Panel PCs are the ideal form factor for most indoor use cases, but they can often be fragile. That’s before you consider the additional challenges that the computer needs to meet to be deployed in the healthcare industry. To overcome this shortcoming, Mactron has come out with a rugged tablet PC with a large screen […]

Glancing through the specifications of any computer, you may have come across the confusing terminology of M.2 slots. Labels like 2230 or 3042 don’t really make what they are referring to very clear, and that’s before we go into the whole “key” business. So here is a rundown of how exactly M.2 slots are classified […]

Raspberry Pi started as a barebones computer for enthusiasts and educators but has since evolved into something much more. The rise of the Internet of Things has created a demand for small, customized computers, and Raspberry Pi has pivoted to supply this need. Let’s take a look at Raspberry Pi’s Compute Module 5 and what […]

The paradigm of industrial computing has largely shifted from Cloud computing to Edge computing, but the rise of AI poses a new challenge. AI applications require powerful GPUs for their number crunching, while embedded PCs normally rely on integrated graphics alone to keep things efficient. To meet this need, Cincoze has come out with two […]

The rising tensions between the USA and China have raised the specter of another chip crisis like the one that followed the global pandemic. But will the fallout really be that dire? How much, if at all, will semiconductors be affected? Let’s take a look. A Tit for Tat The whole fracas started when the […]

Embedded PCs rarely work with the one-size-fits-all approach. Different applications have very different requirements, and without a process that can quickly roll out customized boards, putting together an industrial-scale setup can take ages.   That’s why Global American is partnering with Cincoze, the leading manufacturer of modular embedded systems. Let’s find out what makes Cincoze computers […]
