ASRock Industrial has introduced AiFDO, an automated, secure, human-less device onboarding solution based on the FIDO standard. Designed to facilitate large-scale deployment of industrial AI and automation devices in industries such as smart factories, smart cities and retail, AiFDO enables faster and safer configurations. In addition, it is compatible with software-defined industrial control systems and ensures future interoperability, driving AI adoption at the edge and improving cybersecurity.
A New Era for Seamless, Secure, and Scalable Edge AIoT and Industrial Deployment
Digital transformation is no longer just an evolution, it’s a necessity. From smart factories and AI-driven automation to edge computing at hyperscale, the ability to deploy systems efficiently and securely determines the future of industrial and edge intelligence. AiFDO is engineered for this era, enabling:
- Zero-Touch, Scalable Deployment – Devices automatically configure upon first boot, reducing setup time, cost and eliminating manual intervention.
- Exclusive Bare Metal FDO Onboarding - AiFDO utilizes an exclusive Bare Metal FDO onboarding technology, enabling devices to be deployed directly from bare metal, enhancing deployment flexibility and scalability.
- Enhanced Security with FIDO Authentication – AiFDO integrates cryptographic authentication and tamper-proof security, ensuring only trusted devices connect to industrial networks.
- Cloud & On-Premise Compatibility – Works seamlessly across industrial networks, cloud infrastructures, and hybrid environments.
- Built for Edge AIoT and Smart Factories – Supports AI-driven software and OS deployment at scales, facilitating autonomous manufacturing and smart edge infrastructure.
Advancing Open, Secure, and Intelligent Industrial and Edge Computing
AiFDO is a new solution designed to facilitate the deployment of artificial intelligence at the edge (edge AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling enterprises to scale securely, easily and efficiently in sectors such as smart factories, smart cities and retail. It combines FDO security, open automation principles (O-PAS) and zero-touch deployment to accelerate industrial deployment.
Designed for ASRock Industrial’s System Products
ASRock Industrial has integrated AiFDO into its systems to provide an automated and secure device onboarding process. Its iEP-5010G equipment has achieved FIDO Device Onboard (FDO) certification, ensuring secure deployments in cloud infrastructures or private networks. This solution facilitates the adoption of industrial AI and automation with hands-off configuration.
