Further options include a laser barcode reader, DVD super multi drive, second storage drive, and/or NVIDIA GPU.

Powering the Next Generation of AI-Based Applications

The S510’s powerful specification and rugged credentials make it the ideal hardware platform for a diverse range of AI-based applications.

For example, public safety professionals can minimize ambient background noise when conducting interviews and taking witness statements, improving recording clarity. Automotive maintenance professionals can speed up the diagnostics process through real-time algorithms. Manufacturing organizations continue to adopt intelligent and autonomous capabilities and enhance their supply chain. Meanwhile, utilities professionals can use AI-based applications to rapidly analyze field data and identify critical infrastructure issues before they result in costly unplanned downtime.
