Industrial-grade computing prioritizes 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 centralized 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, meaning that real-time data analysis and decision-making are enabled.

Many sectors turn to Premio’s ruggedized 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 have to be built to weather 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 ruggedized features such as a reinforced fanless chassis, passive cooling dynamics, and industrial-grade components. Premio tests its ruggedized 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 specialty designs are made to withstand the rigors 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 works with 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 meantime between failure rates. 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.
