Axiomtek, a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted to the research, development, and manufacturing of innovative and reliable industrial computer products of high efficiency - is proud to introduce the IPC962A and IPC964A, its new series of modular industrial edge systems featuring flexible expansion capabilities. The highly expandable edge computers are powered by the 12th Gen Intel Core processor (codename: Alder Lake-S) with Intel H610E/Q670E chipset. The intelligent edge computing systems support power levels of up to 200 W for add-in cards, such as NVIDIA graphics cards, enhancing performance acceleration. They also enable seamless 5G connectivity for next-gen communication. Certified by EN 61000-6-2 regulation, the IPC962A and IPC964A offer durable design, longevity of product life cycle, and high immunity for heavy-loading industrial environments. With fast and flexible deployment capabilities, these highly adaptable industrial computers can quickly and efficiently respond to changes or new circumstances for diverse applications in AI, vision inspection, objective classification, and factory automation.

Axiomtek's IPC962A and IPC964A continue the IPC960 series design with flexible expansion options. They have one optional I/O expansion module slot and I/O module options include Axiomtek's AX93511, AX93512, AX93516, AX93519, and MIO160. They are equipped with 2/4 PCIe/PCI slots for integrating diverse add-on cards, such as I/O cards, motion cards, vision cards, and GPU cards to support machine control and vision applications or automated optical inspection (AOI). The IPC962A and IPC964A support up to 200 W power for add-on card with the Axiomtek EIO141 module (1 PCIe x16 Gen 4 + 1 PCIe x8/x4 Gen 3 + 2 PCIe x4 Gen 4) and EIO142 module (1 PCIe x16 Gen 4 + 1 PCIe x4 Gen 4 + 2 PCI). These IPC computers have a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C and a wide range of power input from 18 to 36 VDC for operation in mission-critical environments."IPC962A and IPC964A are designed to deliver efficiency, productivity, and ruggedness across industries. They are equipped with dual DDR5 4800/4000 SO-DIMM for up to 64 GB of system memory. By supporting two 2.5" HDD/SSD with Intel RST supported and one optional M.2 Key M 2280 socket (PCIe x4 Gen 4), these high-performance industrial computers deliver sufficient storage for massive data processing. It also supports Intel VMD for enterprise-grade management of NVMe SSD. They also offer one full-size PCI Express Mini Card slot with SIM slot and one M.2 Key E 2230 socket for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/LTE modules. One M.2 Key B 3042/3050/3052/3060 socket with SIM slot is also available for 5G module (Intel Q670E) while there are more and more 5G needs to reach the market," said Ivy Lee, the product manager of AIoT Product PM Division at Axiomtek. "Moreover, we also strengthen the security measures for these expandable industrial systems. They support intelligent power management to control the ACC ignition, remote power, and remote LED. They also support TPM 2.0 for security through major data encryption priorities."

The intelligent edge computing systems support rich I/O options, including one 2.5GbE LAN port (Intel I226V), one GbE LAN port with Intel AMT, one RS-232/422/485, six USB 3.2 Gen2x1 (10G) ports, one internal USB 2.0 port, one DisplayPort++, one HDMI with 4096 x 2304 resolution, one DVI-D with 1920 x 1200 resolution, one 3.5 mm jack for Mic-in and Line-out, one switch for power on/off with LED (default ATX), 4-pin terminal block for DC input, and 4-pin terminal block for ignition control.
