Both AMD and Intel® solutions come in a ruggedized, metal chassis and employ a 25W fanless design for the toughest environments up to 50°C. They are both available separately as motherboards only, with or without fans.

Also at Japan IT Week Spring will be ASRock Industrial's athena product line. The athena A1 is an AI edge camera which supports Intel's Movidus™ and OpenVINO™ tool kits for recognition analysis applications. The athena camera is 2MP, 1080P with 30fps, and the H.264 codec spec to deliver high definition resolution footage for powerful recognition analysis. It provides VIP customer service, crime prevention, consumer behavior analysis and other tools that assist the business operator to create more value-added services. The other products in the athena family are built to be customized with different cameras and memory range supported.
