a leading manufacturer of high-end industrial embedded
computers, Unicom was able to meet the diverse high-precisioninspection needs of its customers.

Thanks to the rapid development of high-speed image processing,
the technology has improved greatly in terms of image quality,speed, and inspection volume. Unicomp was also able toincorporate AI and machine learning into its large-scale precisioninspection products.

more compact and with higher performance and reliability thanwhat was previously available. One product that met those needs
was the ASUS IoT EBS-4U700, contributed by ASUS IoT
Configure-to-Order Services (ACToS) to meet customers’ rapid
time-to-market requirements and production flexibility.

Dissipation
Thanks to the high-performance and optimized heat dissipation ofthe ASUS IoT EBS-4U700, Unicomp was able to successfully
upgrade its LX9200 to a powerful high- performance X-ray inline
automatic inspection system. Without any extra mechanicalre-design, the LX9200 was delivered with dual GPUs, capable ofperforming long-time, high-volume, high-precision inspection.
With the LX9200, Unicomp’s customers have access to faster, moreaccurate, and higher quality inspection.
