Moxa Releases Ultra-compact High-performance Rugged Edge Computers for AIoT Computing in Extreme Environments

Jul 15, 2020

  • Product News

Taipei, Taiwan, July 15, 2020—The Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is bringing AI to new frontiers in industrial applications. To reduce latency, lower data communication and storage costs, and increase network availability, businesses are moving AI capabilities from the cloud to the edge. In outdoor and harsh conditions that are typical of sectors such as mining, oil and gas, smart cities, and utilities, implementing AIoT technologies in real-world applications poses many challenges, including size, power, and environmental constraints.

Moxa's newly launched MC-1220 Series rugged edge computers feature high-performance Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor and multiple expansion interfaces. The expansion interfaces can incorporate hardware accelerators, such as VPUs, and support Intel® OpenVINO™ toolkit for AIoT application development. Designed based on Moxa’s extensive expertise in building rugged computing platforms, the computers can operate in a wide operating temperature range and are C1D2/ATEX Zone 2 certified for deployments in outdoor and hazardous environments. In addition, the ultra-compact fanless computers are one of the world’s smallest industrial computers that come with Intel® Core™ i7 processors, making it easy to fit them in small cabinets at field sites.

In remote applications, wireless connectivity is required for continuous communications with the control center. MC-1220 Series computers support multiple Wi-Fi/cellular connectivity options, eliminating the need for an additional wireless gateway, thereby saving cost and space. Furthermore, the computing platform features TPM 2.0 technology for enhanced hardware security.

With a combination of high-performance, rugged design, compact size, wireless connectivity, and enhanced security, the MC-1220 Series is ideal for mission-critical, heavy-duty edge computing applications that can fuel the AIoT era.
