New Taipei City, Taiwan, August 29, 2023 – Vecow Co., Ltd., a team of global embedded experts, today announced that its Ultra-compact Embedded Systems lineup will further intensify product supply and marketing activities in response to the growing demand for the small form factor fanless computer market. As of early July 2023, Intel has officially announced that it will halt direct investments in the NUCs business and will be pivoting to support ecosystem partners to build similar units. In pursuit of meeting and accelerating those compact-sized and high-performance computers built for rugged and industrial-grade projects, Vecow has highlighted a variety of Ultra-compact Embedded Systems as alternatives to NUCs, including SPC-7000 Series, PBC-1000, SPC-6000, and EPBC-1000.
The Vecow SPC-7000 Series, powered by 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 Processor, delivers high-performance computing and real-time capabilities for critical Industrial IoT deployments. The series is equipped with Intel® Iris®Xe Graphics, TSN technology, and supports a wide range of DC 9V to 55V power input, with a temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, making it a perfect solution for Factory Automation, Service Robots, Cellular V2X, Smart Retail, and any AIoT/Industry 4.0 applications.
The Vecow PBC-1000 is an ultra-compact fanless embedded system with energy-efficient innovations in a small form factor. Based on the Intel Atom® x6000E Series Processor, it offers up to 40% faster computing performance and twice the improved 3D graphics performance compared to the previous generation solution. It is equipped with a maximum dual display capability with 4K resolution, 32GB of DDR4-3200MHz SO-DIMM memory, an M.2 slot for expansions, and SATA storage. The PBC-1000 supports an uncompromised visual experience, enhanced I/O, and storage options for AIoT applications.
The Vecow SPC-6000, featuring the Quad-core Intel Atom® x6425RE Processor, offers compact integration, supports smart manageability, and combines the benefits of low-power consumption, outstanding performance, and flexible capabilities to empower modern AIoT applications. It is equipped with high-speed connectivity, including 2.5G LAN with Intel® Time Coordinated Computing (TCC) and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) for real-time data synchronization, GigE LAN (1G), USB (5Gbps), PCIe 3.0 (8GT/s), and SATA III (6G), delivering excellent performance in computing and communications.
The Vecow EPBC-1000 features a 2.5″ Pico-ITX form factor and is based on the Intel Atom® x6211E processor, running with Intel® UHD Graphics for 10th Gen Intel® processors. Equipped with full-featured interfaces, including 2 GigE LAN, 2 USB, and 2 COM ports, the Vecow EPBC-1000 supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 70°C and operates with a 12V DC input. Furthermore, the EPBC-1000 provides an additional option to incorporate features into your devices that meet your application needs.
