This page features a range of compact and reliable computing solutions, including industrial PCs, mini PCs, and thin clients. These devices are engineered for diverse applications, from digital signage and kiosks to office productivity and embedded systems. They offer a space-saving alternative to traditional desktops, with many models featuring fanless designs for silent, maintenance-free operation in demanding environments.
Key specifications across the product lineup include processors from both Intel and ARM architectures. Intel-based models feature efficient N-series processors like the N100 and powerful Core i3, i5, and Core 5 CPUs from the 12th and 14th generations. ARM-based thin clients utilize energy-efficient Cortex-A series processors. Memory configurations range from 2GB to 16GB, with storage options including eMMC and SSDs from 16GB to 512GB. Connectivity is robust, with standard features including HDMI outputs, USB ports, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Primary Use Cases and Applications:
-
Thin Clients & VDI: ARM-based Micro series devices are ideal for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), providing secure, low-power endpoints for accessing centralized applications and data.
-
Digital Signage & Kiosks: Fanless industrial PCs and mini PCs are perfect for 24/7 operation in public displays, interactive kiosks, and information terminals.
-
Office & Productivity: Compact mini PCs with Intel Core processors deliver ample performance for everyday business software, video conferencing, and multitasking.
-
Industrial Automation: Rugged industrial PCs serve as reliable controllers in manufacturing, logistics, and other environments where stability and durability are critical.
