Advantech is a manufacturer of industrial computing and memory products. The facts we could confirm cover its industrial memory (DRAM and industrial SSD modules) and its IPC-220/240 compact industrial computer, which uses 6th/7th Gen Intel Core processors in an LGA 1151 socket. We could not confirm the full specifications of a single Advantech industrial PC configuration, so this page compares Advantech's industrial PC range with the Thinvent Industrial PC IPC1 and IPC3 families, which are closest in form factor and use.
