Many countries are facing serious energy shortages, and to counter this problem, many are already actively utilizing renewable energy, but they also urgently need the layout of the internet of energy (IoE) to harness this new power. IoE connects equipment, machines, and systems used in energy production, transmission, and consumption through sensors, controls, and software. IoE delivers power where and when it's needed through smart power storage and distribution, and enables forecasting through big data analysis and machine learning. The DV-1000 high-performance and essential rugged embedded computer in the Cincoze Rugged Computing - DIAMOND product line offers high-performance computing in a compact chassis with flexible expansion and industrial wide temperature support, making it the best choice for IoE applications.

Maximum efficiency for renewable energy requires a network for collecting, storing, and distributing energy power. The DV-1000 is compact, about the size of A5 paper (224 x 162 x 64 mm), making it easy to install in any small outdoor electrical cabinet. The DV-1000 supports a 9th/8th generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 (Coffee Lake-R S series) processor and up to 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz memory, providing the high-efficiency computing power for the real-time processing and analysis of large amounts of data, and meeting the high computing requirements required for IoE.

Rugged embedded computer brand, Cincoze, knows that HMI is the most common application of industrial panel PCs.
