Advantech’s ITA Series Provides Comprehensive Product Solution for Transportation Self-Service Applications

Taipei, Taiwan, April 11, 2018 – Advantech, a leading global provider of embedded systems and solutions that drive IoT, is pleased to announce the launch of ITA-1501, a new addition to Advantech’s ITA series. Along with existing ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 products, the ITA series now offers a comprehensive product solution, from entry to advanced level, for applications in self-service.

Advantech’s ITA-1501, ITA-1611, and ITA-1711 are compact, fanless industrial PCs with low power consumption, specifically designed to be employed as AFC controllers, automated ticketing systems, and transport hub self-service systems. The new ITA-1501 system is embedded with an ARM-based processor and is suitable for entry-level applications such as an intelligent locker system that requires basic ID validation and low volume data transmission.

ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 are Intel Celeron® J1900 quad-core processor systems, designed to handle high volume streams of data processing and complex computing. ITA-1611 can be used in smart parking applications because of its superior ability in handling image data processing for license plate identification and automatic fare calculation. With multiple I/O design, ITA-1711 can accommodate more connection to external sensors, controllers, and displays to offer versatile expansibility for advanced self-service applications, making it an ideal choice for use in advanced ticketing and fare collection systems in busy transport hubs.

Multiple I/O, Dual Display, and Embedded Software Development 

All I/O interfaces are on the same side as the controllers, which facilitate easy access and maintenance. Also, an easy-swap modular design enables flexible adaptation tailored to specific customer needs. The internal components follow a simple and rugged design, which improves its strength and makes it able to withstand shocks and vibrations.

All models support dual display options. ITA-1501 supports VGA1+VGA2 and VGA1+HDMI displays, while ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 supports VGA as the main display and VGA2/LVDS/DVI-D/HDMI as the second display, with an additional option of supporting up to a total of four display connections with an add-on module.

ITA series support Embedded Operating System development for customization. ITA-1501 provides Linux and Android BSPs for further OS adaption. ITA-1611 and ITA-1711 also support Windows Embedded and Linux, and come with Advantech’s WISE-PaaS/RMM for customized software development.

ITA-1501, ITA-1611, ITA-1711 are currently available. Please contact your local Advantech sales to find out how this series of industrial PCs can benefit your self-service applications.
