Industrial-grade computing prioritises reliability and performance. Premio Inc. designs and implements rugged computing solutions for demanding industrial environments. Edge computing is a major focus for Premio. A reduced reliance on centralised data centers has been a big driver for the development of Premio’s durable computing solutions equipped to reliably withstand harsh conditions. When data is processed closer to the source where it is generated, as in edge computing, latency and bandwidth use are reduced, which enables real-time data analysis and decision-making.

Many sectors turn to Premio’s ruggedised computers, from manufacturing, energy and transportation to mining and defence.

Edge computers are installed in places like factory floors, oil rigs, outdoor surveillance systems and remote field locations. Computers in these areas must be built to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, vibrations and moisture, which is why a rugged design is paramount. Ordinary computers would quickly fail under these conditions, so it is worth seeking out ruggedised features such as a reinforced fanless chassis, passive cooling dynamics and industrial-grade components. Premio tests its ruggedised systems thoroughly for:

Military-spec shock
Vibration
Temperature
Humidity

Kingston’s partnership with Premio

Premio factory floor where workers assemble Premio PCs using specialised components, including Kingston Industrial SSDs and memory.

Kingston supports Premio by providing high-quality, durable memory solutions and industrial-grade SSDs. Standard SSDs often fail in extreme environmental conditions, causing unacceptable system downtime and data loss. However, Kingston’s speciality designs are made to withstand the rigours of challenging environments, making them an ideal fit for Premio’s needs.

Kingston’s components are rigorously tested for durability and reliability, gaining coveted certifications to support their claims. The technical support team at Kingston work closely with Premio to integrate components seamlessly into their systems. All around, Kingston offers an effective solution for the challenges Premio faces in terms of memory and SSD storage for their most rugged systems. Kingston’s products have precipitated significant improvements in Premio’s system performance and reliability, leading to improved overall rates for meantime between failure. Deployment was also streamlined because of the Kingston products’ compatibility and robustness.

Premio has experienced a substantial difference in product offerings because of its partnership with Kingston. According to Premio’s Director of Marketing Dustin Seetoo;

One of the most important things, why we selected Kingston, is because…they’re paying attention to the industrial-grade computing market, which is highly valuable and ultimately requires reliability. A lot of the i-Temp SSDs and DRAM that we have selected in our AVL really help facilitate the redundancy, the reliability and durability.

Kingston Technology and Premio Inc. are driving innovation, reliability and performance in industrial-grade computing with built-rugged, built-ready solutions.
