Compact Industrial Mini PCs for Reliable Computing
A compact industrial mini PC is a small computer built for continuous use in demanding settings. It runs standard operating systems, takes up little space, and mounts close to the equipment it controls. Thinvent builds a range of mini PCs in several processor families, memory sizes and storage options. Buyers choose a model by the workload, the operating system and the connectivity they need.
Thinvent mini PCs use Intel, AMD and ARM processors. Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 models in the Aero series run from 6 to 12 cores, with maximum frequencies between 4.3 GHz and 5.0 GHz. The Aero series also includes Intel Core Ultra 5 and Core 5 processors. The Treo series uses an Intel Celeron N5095A with 4 cores and an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U with 6 cores, up to 4.3 GHz. The Micro 6 Pro uses an ARM Cortex A55 processor with 4 cores, up to 1.9 GHz, for embedded Linux systems.
Memory and storage vary by model. Configurations include 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB of RAM, with DDR4 on most models and DDR5 on the Ultra 5 model. Storage ranges from 32 GB eMMC on the Micro 6 Pro to 512 GB SSD on higher-capacity Aero and Treo models.
Connectivity and operating system also differ. Some models include Dual Band WiFi or Dual Antenna WiFi, and others have no WiFi. The Aero Ultra 5 and Aero i7 include Dual LAN. Operating systems include Windows 11 Pro, Ubuntu Linux and Thinux Embedded Linux.
