High-performance and basic industrial computer for edge computing

29-08-2024 | Cincoze | Industrial

Cincoze recently released the new DV-1100 industrial computer series for edge computing. The series delivers an ideal blend of high-performance computing with essential I/O that has garnered attention from large-scale edge computing projects worldwide since its launch. The device is suitable for applications that need real-time large-scale image processing, data computing, and high-speed transmission, such as machine vision, license plate recognition, and smart logistics.

Machine vision is gradually replacing manual inspection because of its efficiency and accuracy in high-speed product inspection, counting, and colour and variety identification. The device has the performance capabilities for these tasks, with up to 13/12 generation Intel Core i9 (Raptor Lake-S/Alder Lake-S) processor with 24 cores, the UHD 770 with Intel Xe architecture for superior GPU image classification inference performance, up to 32GB DDR5 memory (4800MHz), and high-speed NVMe solid-state drives. The device also has high-speed I/O interfaces (2.5G LAN and 10Gbps USB3.2 Gen2x1) to connect peripheral devices such as cameras, sensors, and light sources. It has multiple international certifications, including the US UL safety certification and the EMC standard for industrial environments (EN 61000-6-2/4), ensuring uninterrupted and stable operation in harsh environments.

In parking lot management, the license plate recognition system automatically identifies the license plate numbers of vehicles entering and exiting and controls the entry and exit gates, enhancing management efficiency and convenience. As the key of the license plate recognition system, the device's high computing performance permits real-time image processing, and with a compact size of only 224.1mm x 162mm x 62mm, there is no requirement to worry about limited installation space. Storage needs for large amounts of license plate image data are handled by the device's built-in 2.5" HDD/SSD slot for large-capacity storage. Further expansion is allowed through M.2 Key B, M.2 Key E, and M.2 Key M slots for adding wireless communication (5G, WiFi, GNSS) and extra storage functions as needed. The device also has high-standard industrial-grade protection and supports wide temperature (-40C to 70C) and wide voltage (9VDC to 48VDC), particularly suited for outdoor parking lot license plate recognition.

Modern postal companies use automatic mail sorting machines with OCR technology to quickly classify mail and speed up processing. The device can connect to various external devices, such as sensors, cameras, and scanners through its native I/O (2x LAN, 6x USB, 2x COM) and extra I/Os (such as HDMI, DisplayPort, COM, and DIO) added using the company's exclusive expansion module technology. The device also provides multiple industrial protections for automatic mail sorting machines during operation, such as overvoltage, overcurrent, and ESD protection. It also complies with the US military anti-shock vibration standard (MIL-STD-810H), providing high reliability and stability in an operating environment with continuous vibrations.
