New industrial computers, powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra processing, provide reliable operation, wide temp support, and automotive power for the world's most challenging environments.

SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT [September 16, 2025] - Global industrial computer hardware manufacturer OnLogic (www.onlogic.com) today announced the launch of its rugged Karbon 520 Series of industrial computers. Engineered to thrive in the most challenging conditions, the Karbon 520 Series brings powerful, scalable computing to a wide range of applications from industrial automation and robotics to autonomous mobile systems.

The Karbon 520 Series follows the recent launch of the Helix 520 Series. This family of products is built on a common core architecture, allowing users to prototype on a single platform and deploy across a wide range of environments.

"With the launch of the Karbon 520 Series, we're extending the capabilities of our industrial platforms to give users even more flexibility in where and how they deploy computing power," said Hunter Golden, OnLogic Senior Product Manager. "By combining the Helix and Karbon 520 Series customers can now leverage the same powerful Intel Core Ultra processing, but with enhanced ruggedization, a wider temperature range, and specialized features like automotive power, which makes it possible to deploy the same scalable core platform across a variety of operational environments."

Unstoppable Performance & Scalability Anywhere

The Karbon 520 Series delivers exceptional performance and integrated AI capabilities with an onboard NPU for efficient, localized processing. The platform is highly customizable, supporting up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory and offering expansion options for advanced workloads, including support for NVIDIA MXM AI GPUs.

A key feature of the Karbon 520 Series is its robust construction, with some models offering a passively cooled, fanless design that can operate in an industry-leading -40°C to 70°C operating temperature range. The system is also built to withstand continuous vibration and shock, validated by MIL-STD-810H testing, making it ideal for mobile and high-impact applications. This enhanced durability ensures consistent and dependable operation, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

"Enhanced by Intel Core Ultra's ruggedization, wide temperature support and integrated NPU, the OnLogic Karbon 520 Series is an ideal solution for demanding edge AI use cases in industrial and mobile environments. From fleet management to factory automation this device is a fantastic example of hardware engineered to address these demanding needs," says Michael Masci, vice president, product management of the Edge Computing Group, Intel Corporation.

Versatile Connectivity for Challenging Applications

The Karbon 520 Series is designed for seamless integration and provides a wide range of connectivity options. Systems can be configured with OnLogic's unique ModBay expansion for unparalleled I/O flexibility, or PCIe expansion for specialized I/O or GPUs.

For demanding mobile applications, the Karbon 520 also features automotive power input with programmable ignition timing, making it ideal for direct integration into vehicles and other mobile platforms. The system has also undergone extensive EMC testing, including 60601-1-2 Medical immunity, expanding its applications to sensitive healthcare environments.
