A: At 100% NPU utilization (5 TOPS) and 40°C ambient, the case temperature reaches 71°C—well within spec. An external heatsink is recommended for enclosed cabinets without airflow. be2works 452 full new

However, the industry has changed. The rise of Industry 4.0, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), and AI-driven predictive maintenance exposed limitations in the legacy 452 architecture—particularly in data throughput and cybersecurity. However, the industry has changed

5 years (extendable to 10 years for an additional fee).
If you are still running legacy 452 units, the ROI on upgrading is compelling: lower latency, higher security, and the ability to run predictive analytics without cloud costs. For new projects, the "Full New" should be on your shortlist alongside offerings from Siemens, Rockwell, and Beckhoff—but at a fraction of the total cost of ownership.
