Advantech is set to launch the ARK 3535, the first AMD-powered model in its ARK 3000 series, scheduled for release in March 2026. Designed for edge AI applications in robotics, IoT gateways and machine vision, the controller combines compact design, versatile I/O options and powerful AI computing to meet demanding industrial needs.

Powered by AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 Series processors, the controller delivers up to 38 TOPS of AI performance (16 TOPS via the onboard NPU). It supports optional PEG (PCIe x8) expansion and also features USB Type C support, including USB4, DP 1.4a alt mode, and 5 V, 3 A power delivery, enabling high-speed peripheral connectivity at the edge.

The platform offers robust connectivity with four LAN ports (3x 2.5GbE, 1x 1GbE), four USB 3.2 ports and M.2 PCIe expansions, alongside EdgeBMC support for remote management. For users requiring scalable AI performance, the optional AMO 3511 kit provides a PCIe x16 slot (PCIe x8 signal) compatible with Intel Arc and NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, allowing developers to leverage NVIDIA CUDA and Intel OpenVINO toolkits for AI applications.

Compact yet capable, the controller measures 215 x 200 x 75 mm (<2U), making it suitable for space-constrained deployments. Advantech has prepared 20 units per SKU for early production, with full-scale mass production expected by the end of Q1.

The ARK 3535 is a flexible, high-performance solution for developers and integrators seeking manageable and scalable AI computing at the edge. Project inquiries and early access requests are welcomed.
