During the Embedded World trade fair, representatives of JM Electronics visited the booth of their long-term business partner, IEI. At the booth, they showcased well-known IEI products available on their B2B purchasing portal, as well as new products soon to be added to their offering. A special section of the booth highlighted the most well-received IEI products recently.
Mark Liu from IEI focused on the DRPC-W-TGL line of embedded computers, which are designed for DIN rail mounting. These computers are based on the efficient single-board computer from the WAFER family. The DRPC series is ideal for industrial automation cabinets. Most interfaces are located on the front panel of the computer, with some connectors at the top or bottom. The computers' small weight and dimensions facilitate easy cabinet installation.
A specially designed pin-fin concept radiator is used for cooling, offering greater efficiency than traditional finned radiators. This design improves two-dimensional heat conduction and significantly enhances heat dissipation from inside the case.
The TANGO series combines compact size with specialized applications such as graphic stations, Firewall/VPN platforms, or even military applications meeting MIL-STD norms. The TANGO-3010 is equipped with a high-performance quad-core Intel Celeron J6412 processor at 2.6 GHz, providing up to 73% increased performance compared to previous generations, and an integrated Intel UHD graphics card. It features three high-throughput LAN connections, suitable for Ethernet loops, network hubs, Firewall, or VPN platforms.
The TANK series is scalable and versatile. With efficient processors, these computers can serve as edge servers, AI hardware platforms, or secure data transmission systems. The TANK-XM810 chassis includes modules allowing easy expansion with additional components like graphics cards, accelerators, and storage arrays. This modular approach protects investment by allowing computer upgrades as needs grow. The case design also facilitates quick mounting of graphics cards and accelerators, which generate significant heat. Hence, the TANK-XM810 can be equipped with an external fan for active cooling, enhancing serviceability and durability in dusty or particle-laden environments.
Lydia Huang from IEI introduced a new product dedicated to advanced video stream processing. This technology enables almost lossless, delay-free presentation of video streams from various devices in a distributed network with different IP addresses on expansive graphic walls. Applications include diagnostic imaging in healthcare, advanced traffic management centers, Smart City applications, and surveillance centers. This approach to presenting images from physically different video streams is also becoming essential in modern warfare scenarios.
IEI is expected to introduce new lines of single-board computers. Given IEI's track record of successful SBC projects, these announcements are to be taken seriously, as they have transformed IEI from a local Taiwanese company into a global player.
Mark Liu also highlighted the latest products in the AFL series, known for their narrow bezels around the touch panel, and the PPC family, known for economical and durable panel computers suitable for harsh conditions.
Finally, Mark Liu discussed IEI's medical computers, which are recognized in healthcare facilities. Their long battery life, built-in barcode and RFID readers, cameras, and user-friendly mechanical designs have made IEI a recognized supplier of computers for medical applications, particularly in nurse cart terminals. More information about IEI's medical computers is available below.
