The versatility of the HPC system produced by Actia

It is called HPC - High-Performance Computer by ACTIA and it is a technological platform designed to support manufacturers in the digitalization of their vehicles. Unlike traditional architectures composed of dozens of electronic control units (ECUs) distributed throughout the vehicle, ACTIA's HPC, which is making its debut at Agritechnica, centralizes all functions into a single solution. Thanks to its AI-enhanced performance, the HPC is able to automatically optimize energy consumption and engine performance, process sensor data (LIDAR, cameras, radar) in real time for ADAS systems, and predict failures through predictive maintenance. The HPC integrates autonomous functions, which is ideal for addressing the challenges of automation in off-road vehicles, starting with the advanced management of on-board sensors (360° cameras, proximity sensors, telemetry) and the integration of real-time data to optimize driving and intervention decisions in the field. Additionally, hte HPC ensures maximum inter-operability with fleet management systems for more efficient operations. Another plus of the latest addition to ACTIA's range is the reduction in components, control units, and wiring, which impacts the weight and size of the device – its decidedly compact dimensions make the vehicle more energy efficient. It is also worth noting that the fanless and actively cooled architecture increases its resistance to dust, vibrations and heat. All critical functions are concentrated in a single computer – the manufacturer points out in a technical note – and this improves the levels of protection from cyber threats. Moreover, the HPC has built-in advanced protection against cyber attacks thanks to Secure Boot that prevents unauthorized access, encryption of communications between embedded systems and the cloud, and a real-time intrusion detection system (IDS), which identifies and neutralizes threats. This approach ensures the utmost reliability and safety, which is essential for vehicles operating in sensitive environments (mining, construction sites, agriculture, and defense). The modular and flexible design are a further strength of this model, which is able to adapt to the specific needs of various manufacturers of industrial and specialized vehicles. Finally, uutilizing Over-the-Air (OTA) technology means that updates are performed remotely, with no need to take the vehicle to the repair shop.
