Doesn't look very industrial to me.
Isn't neither fanless or fan+removable filter.
Connectors are exposed on both sides, usually exposed on one side and protected on the other, or all on the side.
No specific mounting (VESA?) for DIN or wall/pannel.
And that temperature range (for the psu) isn't industrial either. Not specificied temperature or ambient for the computer itself.
At least one COM port would be appreciated.

Rubish press release, oohh those PR phrases:
...the new Series sprint ahead in speed, performance, and AI capability, while guaranteeing extended runtime.
