Advantech has announced three new embedded platforms featuring Intel Atom x6000 Series and Intel Pentium and Celeron N and J Series processors.

These platforms - Advantech's SOM-2532 computer on module, AIMB-218 industrial motherboard and MIO-5152 3.5” single board computer - feature the latest Intel processors and Advantech WISE-DeviceOn, an IoT device operations and management solution.

Advantech's SOM-2532, MIO-5152 and AIMB-218 feature advanced ten nanometre process semiconductors which increase computing performance and I/O throughput; yielding solutions suitable for IoT-specific work tasks. Intel Atom x6000 Series and Intel Pentium and Celeron N and J Series Processors has increased its CPU's performance up to 40% and two times in the GFX performance compared with its previous generation.

Advantech's AIMB-218 supports a TDP range of 4.5W to 12W to fulfil customer demands for improved performance. The on-board storage (UFS) delivers fast transfer speeds (up to 1200MB/s) and diverse I/O to support numerous peripherals on a single platform.

Similarly, Advantech's SOM-2532 provides onboard LPDDR4 3200Mt/s up to 16GB with IBECC. This design supports onboard UFS 2.0, dual GbE LAN with TSN PHY, two CAN FD, and three independent 4K displays. SOM-2532 is suitable for automation, medical, IoT edge and transportation applications. The embedded 3.5” single board MIO-5152 equips with DDR4-3200 up to 32GB and provides rich I/O options like HDMI2.0/DP/LVDS, Dual GbE, four USB3.2, four USB2.0, six UARTs & TPM.

These new embedded computing platforms are a perfect fit for applications such as IVD in the medical field, robot and HMI in the automation markets and various uses of instrument panels. These embedded boards meet as well all requirements to be a well suited core platform for real-time computing in retail, IoT edge, and transportation applications.

Advantech's Embedded Core Design-In Service is designed to address the technical requirements of industrial A-IoT solution developers. This service is comprised of a series of hardware and software add-on services designed to help developers to integrate their systems and to reduce the time to market for the finished solution.

Additionally, the WISE-DeviceOn software from Advantech, an intelligent networking solution for device monitoring and predictive maintenance, delivers stable operation and convenient remote management to IoT devices.

The complete product line will be available in 2020 from Q4 to 2021 Q1.
