With the NRU-160-FT, German distributor Acceed aims to bring AI computing power to the very places where data is collected and decisions are made. The system can be installed in dust- or waterproof enclosures and uses their walls for heat dissipation, for example in construction machinery, in car parks and on roads, or in autonomous logistics vehicles. With Nvidia’s Jetson Orin AI module, the embedded computer achieves up to 100 INT8-TOPS and can simultaneously process up to 18 Full HD video streams, whilst consuming around 25 Watt of power.

Industrial edge computing is increasingly evolving from a data collector into an autonomous decision-maker. Requirements are changing in OT (Operational Technology) networks. The focus is on deterministic communication, a minimal footprint in the control cabinet, AI performance and energy efficiency. This is where Acceed’s new Nuvo-11531 sets new standards. The book-sized computer combines an exceptionally small, fanless housing with the latest Intel Ultra 200S processors, positioning itself between traditional industrial PLCs and GPU vision computers, but with remarkable I/O density.

It is a well-known fact that industrial applications require computing power at the edge of the network, where data is generated. Real-time AI systems for image processing, quality control, or autonomous machines need to evaluate large amounts of data directly on site. Bypassing cloud architectures saves time and bandwidth and reduces costs. However, edge applications have special requirements: high performance in limited space, constant availability despite dust and vibrations, and high tolerance to ambient temperatures. The new GT-92GC, a 19-inch rack system that combines GPU acceleration, multi-camera connectivity and a fanless chassis design, is tailored precisely to these requirements.

As AI models become increasingly efficient in industry, the demands on hardware in the field are also growing: GPU performance must be mobile, robust and maintenance-free in vehicles, production lines, energy plants and security systems. With the new GT-92RL-H controller, German distributor Acceed now has another edge platform in its portfolio that is designed precisely for this purpose: powerful, fanless, with high I/O density and, thanks to its robust system design (in accordance with EN 50155 / EN 45545), largely independent of infrastructure conditions.

With the growing demand for networked production, real-time data processing and decentralised intelligence in industrial environments, the requirements for embedded computers have changed significantly in recent years. Today, it is not just computing power that counts – energy efficiency, communication diversity and the ability to integrate into AI-supported processes are also key factors. The new Nuvo-11000 IPC series addresses precisely these requirements, positioning itself as a robust and scalable platform for industrial edge computing applications. All variants of the new series are now available with individual configurations from the German distributor Acceed.
