This is an excerpt from a recent educational article by Premio:

When it comes to building any computer, picking the right motherboard is essential. For a gaming desktop, you would want to pick the latest and best specifications that would be able to support the type of games that you play without any issues. When it comes to industrial applications, the variables that influence your decision become much more important. As one of the most critical components in any compute-based application, the motherboard is the central nervous system of the whole computer. 

Various factors heavily influence and require careful consideration especially when it comes to implementing at the edge. What many consumers can choose to ignore in the comfort of a well-maintained room, cannot be done in the same harsh environments that are found in places such as factory floors. Space limitations, dust, debris, and extreme temperatures all affect how OEMs and system integrators deploy their compute solutions.
