Rugged embedded computing brand - Cincoze continues to deepen its embedded computer range. Two newly launched industrial computers (P2202 Series and P1201), released in 2023, have been widely favored by customers for their thin and light design, especially in mobile devices (AGV/AMR), control cabinets, and other space-constrained applications. Among their striking designs, the One Computer / Two Purposes function has attracted particular attention. They are not only slim embedded computers but, through the patented CDS (Convertible Display System, Patent no. M482908) technology, can also be transformed into panel PCs. They provide performance, screen size, display ratio, and touch options for various application environments, thereby creating diverse and flexible HMI and KIOSK applications.

The P2202 Series includes two models: P2202 and P2202E with PCIe expansion. They are equipped with an Intel Core i3/i5 U-Series (Alder Lake-P) CPU and support up to 64 GB of DDR5-4800 memory. The slim design (254.5 x 190 x 41.5 mm, Model: P2202) has rich native I/O and can also support 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth wireless modules through the built-in Mini PCIe and M.2 Key E slots. The P2202E also has a PCIe x4 slot which supports 75 W expansion cards. Moreover, Cincoze's exclusive modular expansion design allows user to add additional functions, such as PoE and IGN. The P2202 Series adheres to Cincoze's consistently high quality requirements, so in addition to being adaptable to wide temperatures (-40°C to 70°C) and voltages (9 to 48VDC), it has also successfully passed a variety of vibration and shock reliability tests, including sinusoidal vibration (1G), random vibration (5G), and shock resistance (50G). At the same time, it has passed industrial environment EMC standards (EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4), reflecting reliability of the P2202 Series.

Cincoze's latest DI-1100 series of compact, high-performance, and power-saving rugged embedded industrial computers with rich interface options is receiving a warm welcome in the smart factory industry. The DI-1100 series is ideal for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), ensuring on-time delivery of components to the production line or goods to warehouse racks, and suitable for 24/7 operation in outdoor remote monitoring systems. These diverse applications are crucial to all smart factories looking to reduce personnel, control costs, increase shipments, and implement outdoor monitoring.

Structurally, there are three major parts to an AMR: the hardware, the software, and the user interface. The robot's hardware consists of the mechanical design, sensors, motion control, and the computer. The computer is the most critical part for integration because it must serve as the robot's center and interface with various devices and software interfaces. For this application, it is essential to choose a high-performance, power-saving, and compact rugged industrial embedded computer with diverse I/O. Cincoze's latest DI-1100 series uses a high-performance 8th Gen quad-core Intel Core i7/i5/i3 (Whiskey Lake-U) CPU and supports one DDR4 2400 MHz SO-DIMM up to 64 GB to meet the high-efficiency computing requirements for real-time dynamic detection, obstacle detection, and multitasking.

Since the PCIe SSD was adopted by Apple as a standard accessory in MacBook Air in 2013, its excellent flash storage performance featuring high-speed transmission has led the competition to follow, including the fully PCIe SSD-supported Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system and the new generation Intel CPU chip. According to a survey conducted by the global market research firm TrendForce, the transmission speed of PCIe G2 (PCIe Generation 2.0) surpassed that of SATA III SSD in 2014. Moreover, several high-end notebooks are expected to replace SATA III SSD with PCIe SSD since Apple and Microsoft are boosting the market demand. With the price gap between them shrinking, PCIe G2 will potentially become the mainstream specification in the PC SSD market in 2015.

Super Talent Technology, a leading manufacturer of NAND Flash storage solutions and DRAM memory modules, showcases its PCIe and mini PCIe Flash Disk Modules.

Bypassing the SATA speed bottleneck, Super Talent's PCIe and mini PCIe FDMs offer huge performance gains with the ability to deliver read speeds up to 350 MB/sec and write speeds up to 220 MB/sec. The ultra-compact form factor is just right for solutions where space is limited, such as embedded applications, industrial PCs, all-in-one PCs, notebooks and netbooks.

Mushkin, Inc., an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance and mission-critical computer products, today announces the U.S. availability of the 480 GB Atlas mSATA solid-state drive. Mushkin's 480GB Atlas mSATA solid-state drive (Model No.: MKNSSDAT480GB) is initially available in the U.S. at Newegg.com, with worldwide availability scheduled for end of January.
