Industrial & Embedded computer manufactuer Logic Supply will introduce a small form factor, fanless and ventless industrial PC at this year's Digital Signage Expo. Built around Intel's popular Next Unit of Computing (NUC), the CL100 Series is aimed at the industrial market, but includes a range of features well-suited to both commercial and consumer applications.

The computer joins the company's growing line of ruggedized, purpose-built devices which offer enhanced reliability due to their solid state design and all-metal construction. "We work with a wide array of digital signage clients who are constantly sharing feedback about the type of hardware they need to best deliver their message," says Justin Ballard, Solution Specialist, Logic Supply, who will be on hand at DSE 2016 to present the CL100, and the rest of Logic Supply's Digital Signage Line, to attendees.

"In developing the CL100 we wanted to create a device that could be installed virtually anywhere and provide reliable content delivery. The CL100 is a great compact digital media player, but it's also flexible enough that it can be used for a host of other embedded and IoT applications."

Developed with feedback from Logic Supply's large network of industrial PC (IPC) users, the CL100 features a Quad-Core Intel Celeron N3150 processor with onboard Intel HD Graphics. The system can power triple independent displays, or accommodate 4k resolution, making it suited for digital signage, kiosk and other multimedia applications.

Connectivity includes three times USB 3.0, USB Type C, two times HDMI, DisplayPort and Gb LAN. The CL100 can be configured with up to 16GB of RAM and is WiFi and Bluetooth capable. Operating system options include both Windows and Ubuntu Linux. The CL100 utilises Logic Supply's unique Hardshell Fanless Technology, which combines proprietary solid state cooling, ingress protection and ruggedisation to create dependable industrial computers.

"Our clients demand more from our computers than your everyday, consumer-grade equipment could handle," Ballard said. "Our hardware is used in environments that would cripple most PCs, everything from sawdust filled woodshops to extreme-temperature manufacturing facilities. In these type of industrial settings, computer downtime can be extremely costly, so we build systems with reliability always front of mind. The CL100 builds on that theme while remaining compact, versatile and aesthetically pleasing."

The Logic Supply CL100 will be unveiled at this year's Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada taking place March 16th and 17th at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The system will be on display at the Logic Supply exhibit, booth #2940.
