Product Highlight
ARBOR ARES-2100 Series - Lightweight Edge AI Computing Architecture

Lightweight Edge AI Computing Architecture

ARES-2100 Series is designed for Edge AI workloads, combining advanced Intel® Core™ Series 3 processors (Wildcat Lake), Intel® Xe3 graphics, and Intel® NPU 5.0 to deliver up to 40 TOPS of AI performance. Its dedicated NPU provides up to 17 TOPS for complex neural processing, offloading intensive tasks from the CPU to enable faster, low-latency AI inference for applications such as machine vision and automated inspection.


Ultra-Slim 1U Design for Space-Constrained Deployments

With a standardized 1U height of just 44 mm and a lightweight 1.1 kg chassis, it is ideal for 1U racks, AMR/AGV systems, and slim industrial cabinets. A secure cable-lock bracket prevents accidental disconnections, while MIL-STD-810H shock and vibration compliance ensures reliable 24/7 operation in harsh industrial environments.
