The new ARK-2251 from Advantech is a sleek, full-function fanless embedded computer that is ideal for industrial AI applications. The cutting-edge system, powered by 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 processors, delivers robust computing power, streamlined processing and real-time analytics.
Ultra-thin design with extensive connectivity
The ARK-2251 employs a performance hybrid architecture for efficient operation. Its slim fanless design, with a low profile of 2.13 inches, is ideal for industrial applications such as conveyor systems and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and environments with limited space. It also supports a wide operating temperature range.
Featuring 19+ I/O interfaces, the embedded computer is well-suited for diverse industrial needs. It also supports 10+ iDoor modules, offering customisable expansion options for specific integration requirements.
The ARK-2251 provides an optional PoE module, delivering up to 15W per port (LAN 2 and LAN 3), making it easy to power devices like lighting, access points, IP CAMs and IoT units that are wall or ceiling mounted and may not have easy access to a power outlet. The ARK-2251 makes deployment easy and flexible.
Reliable, fast and secure for Edge/AIoT applications
As the number of IoT devices continues to grow, having wireless capability is crucial for processing and storing the vast amounts of data generated from cameras and sensors at the edge. The ARK-2251 meets this demand by providing Mini-PCIe and M.2 interfaces, enhancing flexibility for deployment on a network. The M.2 slot supports Wi-Fi 6 and 5G modules, ensuring robust wireless connectivity.
To enhance security and data processing efficiency, the ARK-2251 features two 2.5GbE LAN ports, enabling Wi-Fi 6E throughput. It also supports AMO-IO29 TPM 2.0 modules, bolstering cybersecurity for a privacy-focused and secure environment.
The ARK-2251 integrates the DeviceOn platform, which is seamlessly compatible with Windows, Linux and Android OS. This platform manages various devices like sensors, meters and GPS efficiently. DeviceOn is a highly resilient platform and can be installed on-premises or in the cloud, allowing seamless remote management of power, system monitoring, troubleshooting and AIoT device upgrades from anywhere at any time.
