Logic Supply, a leading provider of industrial and embedded computer hardware, has unveiled a new series of rugged PCs which breaks free of the 'black box' paradigm in the industrial hardware market. The new ML400 series combines a sleek, exciting aesthetic with ultra-reliable, fanless and ventless engineering to create the company's smallest full-size Mini-ITX system. The product of years of experience designing rugged, solid state computers, the ML400 series is the next step in the evolution of the Logic Supply product line and a distinct break from the norm in embedded computing.

"The ML400 series represents the evolution of not only our own product line, but the embedded industry as a whole," said Logic Supply CEO Roland Groeneveld. "These systems are the brains inside some of today's most cutting edge technologies, and we believe their capabilities and aesthetics should reflect that. We've worked closely with our clients to better understand what they need and want in an embedded PC, and we believe the ML400 series delivers on that research."The models available at launch for the ML400 series offer a versatile range of I/O and processing capabilities.
