ARBOR Technology Unveils ARES-2100 Edge AI System with Intel Core Series 3 Processors

ARBOR Technology Corp. has introduced the ARES-2100 Series, a compact fanless edge AI system powered by Intel Corporation's Core Series 3 processors (Wildcat Lake), announced in a press release. The system is designed for industrial automation, machine vision, and smart factory deployments.

The ARES-2100 delivers up to 40 TOPS of AI performance through a hybrid computing architecture that combines advanced CPU cores, Intel Xe3 graphics, and the Intel NPU 5.0. The integrated NPU provides up to 17 TOPS for neural processing, reducing CPU workload and enabling faster inference for inspection and vision tasks.

Built in a 1U form factor, the ARES-2100 is suited for space-limited environments such as AMR and AGV systems, racks, and industrial cabinets. It supports up to three 2.5GbE LAN ports, M.2 expansion, optional UFS 3.1 storage, and operates within a 9 to 36V DC input range. The system is built for continuous operation under temperatures from -20°C to 60°C and meets MIL-STD-810H durability standards.

ARBOR and Intel plan to continue their collaboration to develop advanced edge AI computing solutions for industrial applications.
