Advantech has announced a range of platforms based on 6th generation Intel Core processors (formerly Skylake) including industrial motherboards, slot single-board computers (SBCs), modular IPCs, industrial serverboards, and transportation platforms. With enhanced CPU performance, media and graphics capabilities, and security and power efficiency, these new platforms are ideal for powering intelligent systems designed for diverse markets, such as video surveillance, medical, industrial automation, gaming and transportation infrastructure.
The main benefits of increased IoT adoption will enhance efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership.
Using sixth-generation Intel Core i7/i5 processors and the Intel Q170 chipset, Advantech has designed several industrial-grade boards (PCE-5129, PCE-5029, AIMB-785 and AIMB-705) in the form factors PICMG 1.3 SBC and ATX.
Also based on a 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor chipset, Advantech has developed modular IPCs MIC-7500, AIIS-3400, AIIS-3410, and AIIS-5410 for the machine automation market. With the successful deployment of intelligent rolling stock systems, ITA-5231 and ITA-5831 were developed to substantially enhance the performance of passenger information systems, media broadcasting, and in-train surveillance applications while consuming less power.
Advantech has also incorporated an Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v5 series and Intel C236 chipsets into its new PICMG 1.3 SBC, PCE-7129, and server-grade motherboards, ASMB-585 and ASMB-785.
Equipped with an upgraded processor and DDR4 memory support, these devices can easily deliver increased computing efficiency for applications that require high-performance computing. Regarding ASMB-785, the embedded quad LAN, onboard BMC connector, and IPMI-1000 (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) extension module provide out-of-band remote management, real-time and centralised management, and KVM over IP remote control functionalities along with user-friendly interfaces and utilities.
