Following the announcement of the 12th-generation Intel Core processors at CES in Las Vegas, Vermont-based industrial computer hardware manufacturer and IoT provider OnLogic has revealed its upcoming Karbon 800 series of rugged computers.

The computers have been engineered for machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), manufacturing, automation, and other Industry 4.0 and industrial IoT applications.

“We have been amazed by what our customers have created using our Karbon 700 series and, with the large performance upgrades provided by Intel’s Alder Lake architecture, the Karbon 800 series will give them the power to continue to innovate,” said OnLogic rugged line product manager, Maxx Garrison. “We’ve focused on adding additional features and expansion options to support the wide-ranging applications of our customers. This includes PCIe Gen 4 expansion for the latest GPUs, new IO options like 10GbE and M12 LAN, and new configurations including a high-capacity Raid array option. The Karbon 800 series will be our highest-performance and most configurable systems yet.”

The Karbon 800 will be available in four models at launch, allowing users to select and customise the system that fits their needs. Each model can be configured with up to a 16-core Intel Core i9 processor and 64Gbyte of DDR4 ECC or non-ECC memory.

Depending on the model, various storage and expansion options are available, including optional hot-swap bays as well as single and dual PCIe Gen 4 slots. OnLogic’s ModBay expansion technology can also be used to add connectivity and storage options, including up to 14 LAN ports and a six 6.35cm SSD Raid array.

The Karbon 800 is expected to launch early in spring 2022 and visitors to the OnLogic web site can sign up to receive updates about launch timing and pricing.
