ITD Industrial Embedded Box PC for Smart Manufacturing

Application: Smart Manufacturing / Industrial Automation / Edge Computing

Project Background
With the rapid development of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, factories increasingly rely on industrial edge computing platforms to connect machines, collect data, and enable real-time decision-making. Traditional PCs often fail to meet the requirements for reliability, compact design, and long-term continuous operation in harsh factory environments.
A smart manufacturing system integrator was looking for a compact, reliable Industrial Embedded Box PC to deploy across production lines for machine connectivity, data acquisition, edge analytics, and MES integration.

Application Challenges
The project presented several key challenges:
- Stable 24/7 operation in industrial environments
- Compact and fanless design for control cabinets and machinery integration
- High computing reliability for edge data processing
- Rich industrial I/O for PLCs, sensors, and machines
- Wide operating temperature range suitable for factory floors
- Long product lifecycle to support industrial deployment and maintenance

ITD Solution
ITD provided its Industrial Embedded Box PC, specifically designed for smart manufacturing and industrial automation applications.
Key Features of the ITD Embedded Box PC
