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. 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.

IoT and artificial intelligence offer enormous potential but also increase the complexity of technical systems. Rosenberger addresses these challenges with a structured Smart Engineering approach, in which all system components are designed as an integrated system from the outset. The TINO® platform for autonomous IoT asset tracking is one example of this approach. Designed to meet the specific requirements of logistics, industry, and construction, the solution offers long battery life, minimal maintenance, and flexible system integration.

In this technical article, Cincoze explains why IPCs should have an extended temperature range. Industrial computers must operate reliably in environments where conventional computer systems reach their limits. In outdoor control cabinets, vehicles, cold storage facilities, steel mills, or ship engine rooms, they may be exposed to significant temperature fluctuations.

Where heavy-duty machinery is exposed to harsh conditions every day, reliability is essential. As automation continues to advance across agricultural, forestry, construction, and municipal machinery, the need for decentralized sensors and additional electrical components is growing rapidly. When dust, dirt, and vibrations are part of everyday life, the CONEC distribution system (TYPE S, M, L) offers the right solutions.

Humanoid robots form the transition between artificial intelligence and the real world. Their hands are not just tools but means of expression and interaction. In order to be able to move the fingers of a robotic or prosthetic hand individually, each finger is driven by one or more actuators.
