Advantech has announced its latest thin, barebone fanless system, the EPC-S101, with Intel Celeron N3160/N3060 and the Intel Atom-E8000 processor. Designed with Advantech 3.5″ PCM-9310 PCBA, the product provides abundant I/O ports, easy function expansion, IoT software WISE-PaaS/RMM implementation for remote devices management and flexible mounting methods, making it ready for use in various industrial and commercial application fields.

The device measures only 188 x 39 x 150 mm and is less than 1U in height. The slim, fanless system provides six USB ports, four COM ports (RS-232/422/485), two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one HDMI, one VGA, an 8-bit digital I/O port, an audio jack w/ mic in and a line out port. It has reserved spaces for a 2.5″ SATA SSD with SATA power, mSATA and a full-size mini-PCIe with SIM holder for multiple expansion.

For flexibility, the product supports wall mount, VESA mount and DIN rail mounting to cope with different application scenarios. With its reduced system size, multiple IO ports and flexible mounting methods, it is suitable for retail, commercial kiosk and signage applications, environmental monitoring and HMI device implementation. The system is small but versatile and powerful, making it suitable for a wide range of work and tasks.

The product utilises Advantech’s WISE-PaaS/RMM software — part of the WISE-PaaS cloud solution, which focuses on remote device management and monitoring. WISE-PaaS/RMM provides centralised management features including HW/SW status monitoring, remote control and system back-up/recovery. It supports server redundancy and hierarchical server management, which increases service availability. WISE-PaaS/RMM utilises standard IoT protocols, like MQTT from IBM, to communicate with IPCs and IoT gateways and sensors. It provides a WISE Agent framework for data acquisition from devices, as well as the RESTful API web service, which allows the user to integrate RMM functions with other applications or do further customisation. WISE-PaaS enhances connectivity for hardware, software, devices and sensors, and helps users to transform their business by including IoT cloud services.
