Advantech Co., Ltd. has announced the release of the latest AI industrial computer IPC-730. Particularly, this product has a high-power power supply, excellent heat dissipation performance, and a front I/O interface compatible with ATX/mATX motherboards. In addition, the CPU/GPU hybrid computing performance and precision-optimized mechanical structure make the IPC-730 an ideal solution for machine vision and edge AI applications. On top of the high-performance CPUs and full-length GPU cards, it is designed to meet the needs of high-performance computing with a high-capacity ATX 3.1 power supply. This provides a wealth of I/O connectivity options. Moreover, it provides greater flexibility for system integration for industrial automation and machine vision applications.

Edge Computing Supports Corporate Growth

With the growing demand for smart manufacturing, enterprises need powerful edge AI computing that can handle real-time data processing and predictive maintenance. Traditional industrial computers are increasingly difficult to meet the performance requirements of the next generation, and the IPC-730 provides an important solution to meet these challenges. For companies that can’t keep up with the evolution of AI technology, the IPC-730 accelerates digital transformation and helps achieve more efficient and intelligent production processes.

GPU Options and Optimized Cooling Systems for Different Needs

Moreover, the IPC-730 supports a wide range of NVIDIA RTX™ GPUs (from NVIDIA RTX A400 to NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation) from entry-level to high-end models. Thus, it provides computing power according to customer needs. In addition, it has a built-in 850W and 1200W high-power ATX 3.1 power supply. Thus, it provides stable power to the CPU and GPU during peak processing.

Also, two powerful system fans can be installed on the rear and two optional auxiliary system fans on the front for excellent cooling performance. Rich I/O features facilitate edge system integration. Additionally, the single-sided I/O design, which consolidates all wiring at the front, simplifies cabling and maintenance, making it ideal for cabinet or equipment interior installations.

The Best Solution for Edge Computing

Automated optical inspection (AOI) requires large amounts of image data to be processed in real-time for precise analysis. Thus, machine vision systems must be flexible and scalable. The IPC-730 supports a wide range of configurations, from entry-level models to high-end GPUs. Also, its powerful hybrid computing performance significantly improves the speed and accuracy of inspections. This minimizes latency and enables efficient real-time processing. As an AI IPC that meets the diverse demands of modern smart factories, the IPC-730 is the best choice.
