Cut Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Hallucinations by 50%
Most teams hit the same wall with enterprise AI: LLMs that hallucinate, pipelines that don’t scale, and infrastructure that’s harder to design than the models themselves.

Kontron has announced the fanless Kontron ThinkIO-Solo embedded IPC and the Debian Linux desktop distribution for the Kontron ThinkIO-Duo/-Solo.
The compact (70mm deep/35mm connector level) Kontron embedded IPC ThinkIO-Solo is equipped with an Intel Celeron M processor clocked at 1.06 GHz, 1 GB RAM, up to 4 GB soldered internal flash and 512KB non-volatile memory.
Both the Kontron ThinkIO-Solo and ThinkIO-Duo include aluminium housing, compact flash socket for adding mass storage, standard PC interfaces, and field bus options including industrial Ethernet and a modular I/O interface option. The Kontron ThinkIO enables remote access and connection to a company’s IT infrastructure (ERP systems and databases) while simultaneously providing control functionality at the field level. The interrupt capable onboard inputs can be used to trigger a rapid response to events, such as failure of the external 24 V power supply when using the optional 10ms holdup module according to IEC61131-2/severity level PS2 or when traversing an end stop switch. A watchdog timer and real-time clock are also included.
Kontron also expanded the software portfolio for its embedded IPCs. The new Debian desktop distribution, tailored to the Kontron ThinkIO, includes a PC interface that enables faster development time. Packet-management software for upgrading and version control is also included.
The Kontron ThinkIO-Solo will be in series production by the third quarter of 2010. The Linux Desktop distribution is available now.
