News

Why the GPU is the Engine of AI: Architecture & Tensors Explained | 2026 update
In computer science, the transition from CPU-based calculations to GPU acceleration is the primary driver behind the AI revolution. To understand why AI models like Transformers and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) depend on graphics processors, we must look at the fundamental mathematics of neural networks.

IPC vs PLC: When to choose an industrial PC for Automation?
Boundaries in industrial automation between the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and the IPC (Industrial PC) are increasingly blurring. Although both systems control machines, they fundamentally have different strengths.

What is an Embedded System? Definition, Trends, and the European Standard
Embedded systems form the backbone of modern industry. Although we use them daily — from smart thermostats in our homes to motor controllers in electric trucks — they often remain an abstract concept. What defines an embedded system in 2026, and why is the distinction from a standard computer more critical than ever for the high-tech sector?

Why GPUs Have Become More Expensive: Causes, Market Impact, and How Organizations Respond
The price of GPUs has risen sharply in recent years. For many organizations, this raises important questions: why have GPUs become more expensive, how structural are these GPU price increases, and what does this mean for organizations looking to purchase GPUs today for industrial or business applications?

POC-766AWP: The New Standard in Fanless Waterproof Industrial Computers
The POC-766AWP represents the newest generation of Neousys’ AWP-series: a fully waterproof, fanless embedded computer engineered for demanding industrial and outdoor environments.

Arcobel - All About Automation 2025
From September 10th to 11th, the All About Automation took place in Wetzlar. We took this opportunity to present ourselves with our own booth. Visitors had the chance to get to know our team, our products, and our solutions in the fields of embedded systems and artificial intelligence. 

Advantech ernennt Arcobel zum Channel-Partner
Bündelung der Kräfte für intelligente Mobilität in den Benelux-Ländern und Deutschland

Hardware

Computer Chassis Technology
A computer chassis is the enclosure that houses all essential components of a PC. At Arcobel, you will find a wide selection of computer chassis designed for various industrial and professional applications.

Customized 19-inch rackmount for industrial applications
In demanding industrial environments, standard hardware often falls short. You need a system that’s not only powerful and reliable but also perfectly tailored to your specific application. Think 24/7 operational reliability, flexible expansion options, and long-term availability of identical configurations.

Which Motherboard Suits Your Setup? (2025 Update)
Selecting the appropriate motherboard is crucial, as it serves as the foundation of your computer and determines which components you can use. Here's what to consider when making the best choice.

RTX 3070 and 3080 Graphics Cards: The Best Choice for Professionals and Industry
As of 2025, NVIDIA's RTX 3070 and 3080 graphics cards remain popular choices for professionals and industrial applications. 

MPL MILCOTS4x-GPU: Advanced Rugged Solution for Cyber Defense and Military Applications Introduction
For experts in cyber defense, military applications, and industrial systems, the MILCOTS4x-GPU by MPL AG delivers an unparalleled combination of ruggedness, security, and performance. 

KI-Systeme und industrielle Anwendungen im Jahr 2025
Trends und bewährte Methoden für den erfolgreichen Einsatz von KI in industriellen Umgebungen direkt am Einsatzort.

Software

Windows 10: What You Need to Know About the End-of-Life and Transition to Windows 11
Many companies are concerned about the upcoming end of Windows 10 and are considering upgrading to Windows 11. However, this is not necessary for everyone, especially for users of Windows 10 Industrial (Windows IoT LTSC). 

Aetina MX500B-QA – Compact format, high AI performance
Anyone working with AI at the edge of the network (edge computing) knows the problem: a lot of computational power is needed, but space and energy are limited. Large desktop GPUs often don't fit and consume too much power. The Aetina MX500B-QA offers a solution here.

General

Industrial Cybersecurity and NIS2 – Why IEC 62443 Is More Relevant Than Ever
Cybersecurity is no longer just about servers and laptops. In factories, power plants, and production lines, digital threats are playing an increasingly important role. While a data breach in the IT world mainly causes reputational or financial damage, an attack on the OT world (operational technology) can directly lead to production downtime or even dangerous situations.

AI-systems and industrial applications in 2025
As 2025 is already half over, it's time to take a closer look at the reality of AI in the industrial sector. Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are certainly not standing still and are a reality, even in technical industries. AI plays a key role in optimizing processes, increasing reliability, and reducing costs.

How Arcobel is shaping the future of intelligent processes with AI
When most people hear the term AI, they quickly think of applications like ChatGPT, virtual assistants, or search engines. But AI, or artificial intelligence, is slowly transforming more than just work processes in offices. AI is rapidly becoming an essential part of industries like manufacturing, transportation, and infrastructure.

Technology

The best hardware solutions for a quiet and efficient workplace in the office
In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that a well-designed workplace is more than just a visually appealing space. It’s about the well-being of employees and how they can focus. An office where you’re not constantly distracted by noise, but where you can work efficiently, has significant advantages for productivity.

What is IPC in a computer network? Explanation of Inter-Process Communication
The term IPC stands for Inter-Process Communication. It is indispensable for enabling different processes, software, and components to work together on a computer. 

Capacitive versus resistive touchscreen: which is best for industrial solutions?
On Arcobel.com, we offer a wide range of Panel PCs in different sizes, ranging from 10" to 24". These Panel PCs are available with or without a touchscreen. However, not all touchscreens are the same. There are two main touchscreen technologies: resistive touch and capacitive touch. 

LTE and 5G: The Future of Industrial Networks
Connectivity is no longer a luxury in many industrial sectors; it is an absolute necessity. Whether you're working on a smart production line, performing remote monitoring on an offshore location, or need data communication in a defense vehicle, you need a network that is reliable, fast, and flexible.
