Industrial Computing Solutions Built for Different Environments
Industrial computing systems are deployed across a wide range of environments — from controlled factory floors to harsh outdoor infrastructure and mission-critical defense applications. Each deployment has different requirements for performance, durability, environmental tolerance, and long-term reliability.
Why Product Tiers Matter
Selecting the right industrial computing system involves more than choosing a processor or form factor. Environmental conditions, duty cycle, ruggedization needs, and application risk are equally important. Stealth’s product tier framework simplifies that decision by grouping products according to capability and environmental readiness.
- Identify the right level of ruggedization for the application
- Compare similar products within the same performance class
- Reduce the complexity of evaluating industrial hardware
- Select solutions aligned with deployment environment and workload
Applies Across the Entire Portfolio
The Core, Performance, and Xtreme framework applies consistently across Stealth product families, including Little PCs, Panel PCs, Rackmount PCs & Servers, Industrial Monitors, and Rackmount KVM Displays.
- Industrial Computing
- Industrial Monitors & HMI
- Peripherals & Accessories
- Quick Ship and recently launched platforms
The Three Stealth Product Tiers
Rather than separating products into disconnected categories, Stealth uses a consistent tier system to help customers understand how each system is positioned by reliability, ruggedization, and operational demands.
Core
Reliable Industrial Foundations
Core represents Stealth’s foundational industrial computing solutions designed for controlled or semi-controlled environments where reliability, stability, and long-term availability are the primary requirements.
- Standard industrial operating ranges
- Proven processor platforms and chipsets
- Essential I/O and practical configurations
- Ideal for factory automation, control rooms, and embedded systems
Performance
Rugged Industrial Capability
Performance systems are engineered for more demanding industrial applications that require higher compute capability, enhanced thermal design, reinforced construction, and wider environmental tolerance.
- Higher-performance processor options
- Enhanced thermal design for sustained workloads
- Built for vibration, dust, and variable conditions
- Ideal for automation, transportation, edge computing, and vision systems
Xtreme
Mission-Critical Rugged Systems
Xtreme represents Stealth’s most advanced and specialized systems, engineered for harsh environments and mission-critical deployments where environmental stress, compliance needs, and operational risk exceed standard industrial limits.
- Advanced environmental protection
- Shock, vibration, and humidity resistance
- Sealed or hardened enclosures
- Ideal for defense, marine, outdoor infrastructure, and harsh industrial environments
Compare Core, Performance, and Xtreme
While all Stealth systems are engineered for reliability and long lifecycle availability, each tier is optimized for a different level of environmental demand, ruggedization, and application intensity.
Product Families Available Across Tiers
The Core, Performance, and Xtreme framework applies across Stealth’s product ecosystem, helping customers evaluate the same product family at different levels of ruggedization and capability.
