Chinese industrial notebook maker ONERugged has launched a line of industrial AI devices, including Rugged AI Notebooks EM-X14M, EM-X15M, and Rugged AI Tablet EM-I14M. The devices blend AI a ruggedised design for sectors like manufacturing, automotive, and public surveying.

The new industrial AI devices feature Intel Core Ultra processors with a dedicated AI engine (NPU) delivering up to 32 TOPS of processing power. This enables the rugged AI notebooks and tablet to support an ecosystem of AI models, knowledge bases, and applications for localised industrial AI.

The Intel Core Ultra processor also brings Intel Arc graphics with Xe LPG architecture and up to 8 Xe cores, supporting DX12 Ultimate, ray tracing, XeSS supersampling, and AV1 codec capabilities, achieving graphics performance on par with discrete GPUs. From data analysis to complex visual tasks, ONERugged’s AI PCs handle every challenge with ease.

The rugged AI notebooks and tablets feature a new rugged and sealed design that meets MIL-STD-810H testing standards and IP65 protection ratings. Constructed from a range of ABS+PC materials, they are protected at the corners to withstand drops, impacts, and vibrations in harsh environments. The notebook is covered with high-strength metal for enhanced durability and thermal performance.

For connectivity, ONERugged devices are equipped with Thunderbolt 4 Type-C interfaces with speeds up to 40Gbps, supporting dual 4K displays or a single 8K display. They also feature a variety of additional ports, including 1 HDMI 2.0, 3 USB-A, 2 RJ45 gigabit Ethernet, 1 RS232, 1 3.5mm audio, and 1 DC power port, allowing connectivity with multiple peripherals for efficient collaboration.

Rugged AI PCs come with dual 56Wh and 14.4Wh batteries, providing approximately 8-10 hours of standard battery life to meet extended usage needs. The batteries are also hot-swappable, and the included 71.82W high-power adapter ensures quick recharging without the worry of battery anxiety.
