Modern edge computing requires a reduction in size to optimize space utilization. Therefore, hardware design must prioritize performance, functionality, and size. Mini-ITX emerges as an optimal solution due to its compact 170 x 170mm dimensions and the latest technology in I/O connection design. Remarkably, it's the smallest standard form factor with a PCIe x16 slot, ensuring both flexibility and scalability. To achieve the most efficient operation, Mini-ITX boards support a wide spectrum of platforms, including desktop, mobile, and entry-level processors, enabling versatile configurations for diverse applications while delivering target performance levels with confidence.
Performance breakthrough in a compact motherboard that excels in handling massive data and intensive imaging at the edge with a multi-core processor, cutting-edge I/O technology, and an iGPU or dGPU.
Delivering the best efficiency per watt with a low TDP and a soldered processor, this slim design balances performance and functionality, making it ideal for space-limited system integration and multitasking.
All products have undergone rigorous design validation, with a focus on signal integrity and functionality, to fundamentally enhance device compatibility and ensure that various applications can seamlessly integrate different types of expansion modules. In addition, our expertise in design-in service enables us to adeptly adjust parameters, increasing configuration flexibility in each individual board, thereby reducing the effort required for system integration and accelerating time to market.
Advantech offers modularized firmware designs and customizable mechanisms to support customer application development needs. This ensures self-encryption, flexibility in settings, and effective update management. We perform multi-layer security protection at the beginning of the booting process to ensure proper fundamental operation.
In addition to BIOS customization support, Advantech provides BOM management with tailor-made part numbers and change history for factory production and version control, ensuring the delivery of long-term service quality.
We offer one-stop shopping for Mini-ITX and corresponding essential peripherals. Our factory provides assembly and all testing services, with customized configurations to reduce the customer's effort in system production.
To ensure expected performance without thermal throttling, we offer suitable slim cooling solutions based on processor TDP and operating temperature, allowing the full power of Mini-ITX to be utilized and facilitating system integration.
Furthermore, our Smart Fan management dynamically controls fan speed to ensure the prevention of overheating, thus extending the end product's lifespan.
We offer tested pre-installed OS images with a built-in advantech-developed toolkit and software
services, such as SUSI (an Advantech API that simplifies feature programming and configuration) and
DeviceOn (a device management and monitoring application). This significantly enhances application
development and monitoring efficiency. All of the images undergo hundreds of tests to ensure quality
and functionality before formal release.
Additionally, customers will receive long-term technical advisory support through Advantech's collaborations with Microsoft and Canonical.
All product design validation complies with the industrial standard IEC-60068-2 to ensure reliability, and the factory production process follows the IPC-A-610 standard for assembly acceptability. Mini-ITX series products are also capable of withstanding challenging working environments, including a wide operating temperature range (-20 to 70°C), a broad power input range (12-24V), and ESD level 4 (8kV/15kV) protection, guaranteeing stable operation and environmental security. With a commitment to motherboard quality, we assist customers in providing seamless field services.
With innovative tech and a small footprint, Mini-ITX excels in alternative computing, providing slim, efficient cooling, versatile slots, and super-speed I/O. It's a prime example of power in a small space.
