What is leasing?

A modern form of financing in which capital goods – in our case high-performance mini PCs for industrial use – are not purchased but used over a certain period of time in return for a monthly installment. The leasing company remains the owner of the product during the term. At the end of the contract, there are various options depending on the model, such as repurchase or extension of the leasing contract.

This model is ideal for companies that want to remain flexible and preserve their liquidity – without having to forego innovative technology. Leasing is an attractive solution, particularly in the area of industrial computer financing. Source: abcfinance

Advantages of leasing – especially for business customers

Leasing is a popular financing alternative in the B2B sector for good reason.
Here are some of the most important advantages at a glance:

• Maintain liquidity
  Instead of paying high purchase costs all at once, you pay constant monthly installments over the term – this protects your financial resources.
• Planning security
  Fixed leasing rates provide a reliable basis for calculation – perfect for your company’s financial planning.
• Always up to date with technology
  With IT leasing for industrial mini PCs, you remain flexible and can regularly update your IT infrastructure.

We take a look at the embedded AI solutions in our portfolio and show how our Edge AI industrial PCs can be used in practice – from simple entry-level solutions to scalable high-performance systems for complex scenarios.

From vision to practice: how AI can be put to good use

What was just a dream of the future a few years ago is now a reality: artificial intelligence helps to maintain machines proactively, check quality automatically or control the flow of goods intelligently. And best of all, thanks to modern embedded AI solutions, data processing no longer has to take place in the cloud. Edge AI makes it possible for industrial PCs to make intelligent decisions directly on site – quickly, efficiently and safely.

CORE 5 Ultra – entry into industrial edge AI

It’s not for nothing that our popular CORE PC will soon be called “Ultra”. Equipped with the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra processor and integrated NPU (Neural Processing Unit), it is ideal for getting started with Edge AI and enables energy-efficient AI inference directly on the device. This makes it perfect for decentralized processing of sensor data, simple visual inspections or local control units – without the need for a permanent cloud connection.

A typical application scenario for the CORE 5 Ultra can be found in food processing, where the compact AI edge computer with integrated camera optics and AI software can detect color changes or irregularities in products in order to automatically sort out rejects. The real-time decision is made locally on the device – a classic application for embedded AI solutions in the edge computing industry.

The NOVA R680E – scalable performance for demanding AI projects

When it comes to demanding AI workloads, the NOVA R680E comes into play. The powerful Edge AI industrial PC combines a powerful CPU with a wide range of expansion options, such as NVIDIA or Intel accelerator cards via PCIe. This makes it the ideal platform for deep learning conferences, compute-intensive image processing or predictive maintenance AI – all directly at the edge, without having to rely on the computing power of data centers.

In a modern intralogistics center, the NOVA R680E takes over the real-time analysis of data from conveyor belts, robot gripper arms and optical sensors. The system not only detects faulty packages or incorrectly placed products, but also uses AI algorithms to analyze the wear behavior of individual components. This allows failures to be detected at an early stage – a prime example of predictive maintenance AI at the edge.

Outlook: High-end solution with up to 1000 TOPS computing power

For particularly computationally intensive AI applications, spo-comm is currently developing a new high-end edge system with a computing power of up to 1000 TOPS(Tera-Operations per Second). This system is specially designed for industrial use – for example in areas such as intelligent robotics, multi-camera inference in real time, automated production lines or edge training of smaller machine learning models.

The system is based on a powerful AI Edge Computer, which is built on a modern platform and uses a superchip that combines a 20-core CPU with a GPU. With 128 GB LPDDR5x memory and state-of-the-art networking technology, the system offers impressive performance for demanding AI applications. Designed specifically for developers, AI researchers and data scientists, the supercomputer offers unparalleled performance, scalability and advanced features in a compact, desktop-optimized format. It is ideal for developing edge AI applications with modern AI frameworks. Advanced networking technology allows two systems to be stacked to work together with AI models with up to 405 billion parameters.

In a networked production hall, the system is used in an autonomous inspection robot. It navigates independently through the plant, continuously records the condition of machines via several 4K cameras, checks safety zones and detects potential hazards or faults in real time. Local Edge AI processing enables the robot to react without delay, make decisions and simultaneously save relevant data for further analysis – a key component of modern edge computing industry concepts.

Conclusion: Future-proof thanks to intelligent edge AI solutions

Whether as a compact entry-level solution or as a scalable high-performance system – our industrial PCs are designed to enable the implementation of a wide range of AI applications directly at the point of action. In this way, we create a basis for smart manufacturing processes, greater efficiency and more.
