Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

DFI, the world’s leading brand in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, has announced its newest embedded systems: the EC5 series. The series includes the EC543-ADS, EC510-ADS, EC511-ADS, and EC500-ADS.

The EC5 series is a leap forward in industrial automation, suitable for a variety of corporate and industry applications. The systems are compact yet enable great flexibility via expansion slots. Their different capabilities allow users to adopt a wide range of PCI Express or even legacy PCI cards that best fit their application needs.

Emergen Research predicts that the global embedded systems market will reach USD $169.4 billion by 2032, prompted by the rapid utilisation of AIoT devices and automation in multiple sectors such as manufacturing, health care, and logistics. Industrial embedded systems featuring Machine Learning algorithms help improve efficiency and mitigate the risk of equipment breakdown. They also assure the compatible and efficient operation of multiple joint use applications.

Meeting the Most Demanding Application Requirements with the EC5 Series

The EC5 series, featuring 12th generation Intel® Core™ processors with performance hybrid architecture, efficiently handles multiple tasks in edge computing. Supporting fast data transmission with 64GB DDR4 SODIMM, it meets the most demanding industrial application requirements.

Users can benefit from a variety of display options with the support of three independent displays for critical process monitoring, data visualization, or essential information display. Additionally, M.2-powered 5G communication ensures low latency connectivity in modern industrial environments. These models are tailor-made for the harshest industrial environments, delivering unwavering stability and reliant power to meet challenging industrial requirements. They undergo IEC 68-2-64 vibration testing and shock testing of half sine wave 3G, 11ms, 3 shocks per axis.

Additionally, each of these models features spacious 1 PCIe x 16 slots (Gen 3) for graphics and 3 M.2 slots, providing expansibility and enhanced interconnectivity to fulfill individual requirements. Notably, the EC510-ADS, EC511-ADS, and EC543-ADS are equipped with 4 PoE ports, streamlining connectivity and simplifying the deployment of IP cameras and data acquisition devices.
