For AI Vision and Edge Data Server applications

Advantech introduces the 'ARK-7060', an edge computer that offers server-class computing power, flexible expansion options, extensive storage capacity and high network bandwidths for edge applications, according to the company.

Advantech 's edge computer with multiple expansion slots and fast data transfer speeds supports edge data servers, AOI visualization and AI vision device applications. It is equipped with Intel Xeon D-1700 series processors with up to ten cores at 67W and 4 x DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets supporting up to 128Gbytes. The computer offers 2 x GbE, 4 x USB 3.0 and 4 x COM ports for connecting various devices as well as expansion slots for PCI, PCIe x4 and PCIe x16. The PCIe x16 slots support graphics cards with up to 350 W such as the NVIDIA RTX Quadro A4500 and A5000. These graphics cards require an adequate power supply and can overheat when performing intensive tasks. The ARK-7060 system therefore features advanced thermal designs to optimize heat dissipation and also has a special thermal kit for industrial fanless graphics cards. The built-in 850 W power supply facilitates device integration. The Edge Computer can be used with motion control cards, frame grabbers and graphics cards, making it suitable for AI visual inspection and AI vision devices.

To store and transfer large amounts of data, the Edge Computer supports up to 4 x 2.5-inch SATA III hard disk bays and delivers data transfer rates via 10 GbE ports and M.2 B-Key for 5G modules. For increased security, a dual BIOS for BIOS backup and restore reduces the risk of BIOS corruption and protects against potential viruses or data corruption. For operating system security, the computer supports TPM 2.0 and is equipped with McAfee whitelisting technology and Acronis for data backup and recovery.
