January 24, 2022, Taipei, Taiwan — Advantech, a leading global provider of intelligent
systems and industrial edge computers, is excited to announce that its MIC-770
V2 modular fanless edge IPC, and the IPC-200 series Industrial PC that is
widely used by equipment builders, are qualified for Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Internet of Things (IoT) Greengrass — an IoT open source edge runtime and cloud
service.
Building successful IoT solutions with Edge IPC and AWS IoT Greengrass
Advantech
MIC-770 V2, IPC-220, and IPC-240 are validated by AWS as edge computers that can
work on AWS IoT Greengrass software, that is to say, MIC-770V2 and
IPC-220/IPC-240 could extend AWS functionality onto the edge, making it
possible for local devices to act locally on the data they generate. This even
includes TensorFlow, the dynamic language runtime (DLR) framework used to
perform machine learning (ML) inference at the local edge that can also
seamlessly interoperate with AWS IoT services. With Advantech Edge IPC, locally
generated data can be analyzed and processed directly at the network edge using
Linux-based OS using cloud-trained models. This helps original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) and their customers reduce latency and conserve network
and computing resources, providing better, more responsive, robust intelligent
services.
Advantech's Edge IPCs are the most reliable
high-performance platform
MIC-770-V2 and IPC-200 series both deliver high-performance computing,
multiple front-facing I/O interfaces, compact form factors, and rugged designs
for harsh industrial environment requirements as well as in-cabinet
installations in limited space conditions. They can be widely deployed to
support various industrial IoT and automation applications with tailored
entry-level and high-end solutions. MIC-770-V2 is powered by a 10th generation
Intel® Xeon®/Core™ i socket-type (LGA1200) processor with Intel® W480E chipset,
offering excellent computing performance and flexible expandability using MIC i-Modules
and Advantech iDoor modules, which are the best choice for compute and control solutions
in diversified application scenarios. IPC-220 and IPC-240 are powered by 10th
generation Intel® Core™ i socket-type (LGA 1200) processors with Intel® Q470E/
H420E chipset, providing flexible power design with 5 x VDC/2A and 12 x VDC/2A
power outputs for external devices. Moreover, IPC-220/240 supports a wide power
input range of 19 ~ 24 VDC, to overcome fluctuating power distribution supplies
in factories.
Advantech industrial PC support diverse edge
computing applications
MIC-770 V2 is a fanless and compact design modular IPC system that
supports a wide range of power inputs (9 ~ 36 VDC), and operating temperatures
of -10~60°C. MIC-770 V2 resists the problem of dust accumulation, greatly increasing
product reliability and reducing equipment maintenance costs. The fanless
design with a passive thermal solution also brings the advantage of silent
operation. The ruggedized chassis design and cast aluminum heatsink offers
vibration and shock protection, which means MIC-770 can be used in various
environments, whether noise-sensitive in door environments or remote hazardous locations.
It is ideal for applications such as autonomous cars, unmanned aerial vehicles,
intelligent logistics and transportation. On the other hand, IPC-220 and
IPC-240 are the smallest IPCs with high computing performance, multiple
automation I/O and flexible PCIe/PCI expansion slots to support up to 4 add-on
cards. They are often applied in machine vision, industrial equipment manufacturing,
factory automation, and motion control applications and provide the best
intelligent system solution for machine builders and the semiconductor industry.
With the qualification of AWS IoT Greengrass, MIC-770 V2 and IPC-200 series can
stably support more advanced and intelligent cloud and AI services with remote
management at the network edge, helping Advantech's customers provide more
successful and competitive solutions and services.
