Data processing directly on the edge
Powerful and compact Mini-PC series Spectra PowerBox 410. In industry, IoT applications are now part of everyday
life. A great deal of data is generated, which must be processed as quickly as possible, often even in real
time. Delays, such as those caused by the geographical distance between the place of use and the data centre,
must be avoided. The goal is to process the data at least partially directly at the end device or within a
factory.
