Compact micro computer systems for machine automation applications / micro computer with the latest 3rd generation Core i7/i5/i3 processors

Compact, Lightning-fast Solution for Machine Automation
Advantech, a global embedded computing leader providing embedded and intelligent platform solutions across multiple vertical markets, has released a series of AiMC compact micro computer systems for machine automation applications. Each self-contained micro computer features a small footprint, either performance computing or low power consumption, intelligent management, security and longevity. Each comes with Advantech's SUSIAccess software for intelligent monitoring and control. With the latest, 3rd generation Intel Core processors, they deliver improved computing and graphics performance. Each intelligent micro computer offers integrators a no-nonsense, turnkey solution that has already been fully verified and certified.

Space Saving for Simplified Integration
What makes these micro computers different is their compact, turnkey design, which not only saves space but means they can be quickly and easily deployed without prohibitive integration costs. AiMC series micro computers are typically 50% smaller than traditional wallmount systems. Up to now, most production manufacturers have adopted full-size IPC solutions for their machine automation applications. But increasingly, smaller systems are taking over as fewer add-on cards are becoming the norm in machine automation; for example a single motion, I/O, or artificial vision card can fulfill most applications.

Choice of Processor
AiMC series supports the latest, 3rd generation Core i7/i5/i3 processors. Compared with previous generation Core i7/i5/i3 processors, they have enhanced CPU performance and up to 50% better graphic performance. Customers can also choose low-power-consumption mobile processor options for low thermal design applications. DDR3 memory up to 8GB max is supported on all series and one, two, or four expansion slots are available on AiMC-2100, AiMC-3200, and AiMC-3420 respectively.

Centralized Remote Management via SUSIAccess
All AiMC series micro computers come with Advantech SUSIAccess intelligent management software. By incorporating Advantech SUSIAccess, IT developers and system integrators can quickly develop reliable and secure solutions that remotely monitor multiple systems as well as configure, maintain and recover them. Through the SUSIAccess console, system operators can execute a number of API functions that give full remote control and access to applications. SUSIAccess incorporates secure remote backup features from Acronis, and security tools from McAfee to prevent intrusion and unauthorized access. It is also possible to use mobile devices to keep track of any system abnormalities. If problems are detected, measures can be taken before things get serious.

Long Term Support
Advantech guarantees that all AiMC series products will be supported and supplied for at least seven years after introduction. In the case of a need for product replacement or upgrade, customers can be assured the same products and upgrade paths will be available and supported for the long run. The AiMC series represents a new shift towards more compact and more intelligent systems for industrial automation production applications. And they are available now; please contact your local salesperson, or visit the Advantech website today.
