Select and procure an IPC

To run Flowstate solutions on real hardware, you need an on-premises industrial PC (IPC) that can control your workcell, run ML inference tasks, and execute your process with minimal latency.

The IPC runs Intrinsic software, which provides real-time capabilities, security features, and support for containerized applications. This software is the foundation for deploying Flowstate solutions to local hardware.

This guide does not include guidance on safety. Set up adequate safety systems and conduct all risk assessments before deploying to real hardware.

To make it convenient for you to procure the industrial PC that best meets your performance and budget needs, Intrinsic has partnered with global hardware vendors to provide three hardware configurations at different performance and price points. All configurations listed on this page have been tested and validated by Intrinsic to run Flowstate solutions.

Purchasing an industrial PC​

Compute tiers​

The supported compute configurations are categorized by tier as described below.

  • Basic - is the lowest tier, used primarily for real-time control. This tier can be used if your solution does not require any perception capabilities. It relies on fixed and known positions of objects to plan motions and to avoid collisions.

  • Advanced - is the mid-tier with a powerful CPU and GPU to support real-time control and medium complexity perception scenarios that require pose estimation using highly-performant deep learning algorithms in cluttered environments on objects that are e.g. reflective or have little texture. The algorithms can achieve runtimes of down to 1 second. Sample applications include single robot bin picking and machine tending.

  • Performance - is an upgraded version of the Advanced tier with higher performance compute and additional memory to support advanced perception scenarios that provide high accuracy pose estimation in cluttered environments, suboptimal lighting, obstructions, etc. It is the most advanced and powerful configuration. It is a system for real-time control and with high-end GPU to run complex applications with multi-view perception solutions and point-cloud based collision avoidance, achieving the highest possible accuracy in all dimensions. Best suited for applications needing maximum performance like the Intrinsic Vision Model (IVM) and high- throughput, containing multiple robots and three or more, possibly multi-sensor cameras.

1 This spec or better. The “E” suffix is preferred because of support for “Intel Time Coordinated Computing (TCC)” which claims improved support for real-time computing. Avoid the "T" suffix as the lower base frequency slows down motion planning and pose estimation.
2 16GB or better required. ECC is strongly desired. Prefer populating both memory channels.
3 Industrial interfaces supporting EtherCAT can be a Realtek NIC or Intel NIC.
