Sophisticated AI applications in industry require a suitable computer platform to handle multiple processes in the shortest possible time and/or in real time - a so-called Edge AI system. If this system also has the necessary flexibility to be adapted to different requirements, it is the ideal choice for any system integrator.

With the Spectra PowerBox 420, we present a very powerful, industrial Edge AI box PC with the latest processor technology. You can choose between various 12th generation processors (Alder Lake) from Core i9 to Celeron to suit your application. This means that not only the performance but also the costs can be adapted to your needs, because you only pay for what you need.

The 12th processor generation is particularly effective due to its hybrid architecture with performance and efficiency cores. This enables better adaptation to different workloads, as the performance cores can be used for demanding tasks, while the efficiency cores handle the less intensive tasks. And all this with a maximum TPD of 65W (for Core i9). Alder Lake supports DDR5 memory with 4800 MHz up to 64 GB. Combined with ECC technology, you get the additional stability and reliability required for industrial automation applications and the risk of failures and data loss is effectively reduced. Thanks to the integrated Intel® Deep Learning Boost function (Intel® DL Boost) with VNNI instructions, the execution of deep learning workloads is particularly optimized.

The Intel® Xe architecture of the UHD 770 graphics chip boosts GPU performance in image classification to 2.8 times the speed of the Comet Lake-S platform and provides the processing power required for edge AI computing. You can connect up to three independent 4K resolution displays or one 8K resolution display via HDMI, DVI-I or DP ports. 

The PowerBox 420 offers two GLAN ports as well as 4x USB 3.2 Gen2 and 4x USB3.2 Gen1. In addition, it provides you with a wide range of native I/O interfaces and supports optional I/O extensions such as LAN, M12, DIO and COM. And to meet the rapidly growing demand for wireless networking in industrial applications, you can realize additional WiFi, GNSS, 4G and Bluetooth with one M.2 key E slot and two mini PCIe slots. 

For applications in industrial environments, the Spectra PowerBox 420 offers broad temperature support from -40 to +70°C, a wide voltage input from 9 to 48 VDC as well as overvoltage, overcurrent and ESD protection. You will receive the Spectra PowerBox assembled, tested and ready to switch on with the equipment of your choice.
