The module in the short size form factor of only 82x50mm complies with the SMARC 2.1 standard soon to be published by the SGET Standardisation Group. The NXP Dual Cortex A72 LS1028A processor and a 3D GPU make the module powerful and flexibly deployable.

Kontron has announced that it will present its new small SoM module based on the latest processor and memory technology at the embedded world trade fair in Nuremberg. The new SoM SL i.MX8M Mini provides an excellent and cost-effective basis for individual board and application developments.

Kontron has announced that it now offers its KBox B-202-CFL Embedded Box-PC with Intel Core 9th generation processors, which with up to eight processor cores provide a performance boost with constant power dissipation. Thus, the KBox B-202-CFL effortlessly handles computationally complex processes and large amounts of data.

Kontron has announced that it will present the D3713-V/R mITX industrial motherboard based on the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 and R1000 line at this year's embedded world tradeshow. It features the SoC integrated AMD Radeon Vega GPU with particularly brilliant graphics and supports up to four independent displays in 4K resolution via DisplayPorts, one Embedded DisplayPort and a dual-channel LVDS (24bit).

Here, Hannes Niederhauser, CEO at Kontron and Chairman of the Management Board of the S&T Group, has considered five technology trends to be the defining themes for the industry in 2020, including edge computing, real-time networks including 5G, new standards for embedded platforms, cyber security and artificial intelligence.

Kontron has announced that it will be presenting Computer-on-Modules, SBCs and motherboards of all leading standards with the latest processors from Intel, AMD and NXP, as well as x86 and ARM-based computer systems and panel PCs at embedded world in Nuremberg between February 25th and 27th, 2020.

With the Open Frame Monitor, Kontron presents the latest addition to its portfolio of monitors for industrial applications. The Open Frame Monitor is based on a visualisation module with an integrated video controller that can be modularly configured and expanded. It is particularly suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, but also as a reliable solution in highly frequented POS/POI environments.

Kontron presented the third generation of its high-end industrial computers in Box PC format - the KBox C-103-CFL series - at SPS 2019. The systems are based on the latest Intel Core and Intel Xeon E processors of the ninth generation with up to six processor cores and thus provide a performance boost with ever constant power dissipation.

Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), now offers a BIOS update to version R1.20.0 for its D3598-B and D3598-G motherboards, both "Designed by Fujitsu". This refresh now also supports the latest Intel processors. The use of the latest CPUs increases the performance of the motherboards and extends their lifetime. In addition, more performance is offered at a lower price.
