Giada, the number one media player brand in the German-speaking region in 2018, showcased the star products of its semi-outdoor series, including the ISC-261, AE67 and AP23, at Booth 2-638 during Embedded World 2019 in Nuremberg.

Embedded World, the leading international fair for embedded systems, attracted more than 1,000 exhibitors from 52 countries and more than 32,000 trade visitors from 77 countries.

Today in manufacturing and production, linking information across all corporate levels increases the demands placed on computing power. As the industry automation develops, industrial PCs for process control and/or data acquisition are in larger demand. Giada has developed its industrial PCs series, which can work for a long time in demanding environments. These compact solutions can offer customers high performance in a small space. They are rugged and designed for an extended temperature range, allowing them to be installed directly in the control cabinet – the ideal solution for process and machine-level data processing or visualization.

Kiosks are a key element in the digital transformation of merchants and manufacturing. People are increasing accustomed using kiosks while shopping, communicating, receiving financial service and operating machines. Many of these kiosks are in outdoor or semi-outdoor environments, where they may have to withstand extreme temperatures. To better support these kiosks in outdoor or semi-out door applications, Giada has made great efforts to design new industrial PC and pico boards which combine extended temperature tolerance, high performance and a rich variety of I/O ports.
Meanwhile, industrial PCs and motherboards are being adopted in more commercial applications, such as control panels with displays in elevators showing various advertisements. Giada’s semi-industrial players with their slim, fanless design can support such applications well.
