ARBOR Technology: New IEC-3702 Compact Industrial PC with Unexpected Capabilities

ARBOR Technology has recently introduced its latest innovation: the IEC-3702 NUC-sized industrial PC packed with powerful features. Designed to deliver exceptional performance in demanding environments, this new product offers a surprising array of capabilities beyond its compact form factor. Due to their compact size, NUC-size computers often have trouble dissipating heat, especially under heavy loads and after long periods of running. They may also be unable to support complex setups requiring extensive I/O ports or specialized industrial interfaces because of their limited expandability.
