Avalue unveils ARC-1738: fanless rugged panel PC for wide range of industrial automation applications

Avalue Technology Inc. (TAIEX: 3479-TW), a global industrial PC solutions provider and a Titanium member of the Intel Internet of Things Solutions Alliance, is committed to providing a complete range of smart retail, smart healthcare, smart manufacturing, smart transportation, and embedded solutions. Avalue recently introduced the ARC-1738, a fanless multi-touch panel PC with rugged design, suitable for various industrial automation applications, human-machine interface applications, and self-service kiosks.

The ARC-1738 is a multi-touch panel pc with a full-flat front panel design, featuring the Intel 11th Generation Tiger Lake U Core i5/i3 processor platform, with a maximum TDP of up to 15W. The Intel 11th generation Tiger Lake U processor is a product designed for the non-embedded market and specifically for IoT-related applications. The "U" stands for ultra-low voltage design, which is used in embedded products. In addition to low power consumption performance and excellent system processing performance, it also brings higher graphics processing capability, better AI acceleration, and efficient power management, to provide users with a faster, smoother, more efficient, and cost-effective product experience.

The ARC-1738 is designed with a fanless structure, which reduces operating noise and maintenance requirements. The front panel adopts a full-flat die-casting process and 7H hardness surface glass with a projected capacitive touch panel (PCAP) touch function, supporting 10- points multiple-touch even with rubber gloves, providing a smoother and more intuitive user experience. The back of the device is made of aluminum with a beautiful design, ensuring durability, reliability, and ease of maintenance, suitable for various applications in industrial environment.

In terms of specifications, the ARC-1738 supports up to 64GB 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 memory and provides a rich and diverse I/O port with high flexibility for expansion, including 2 x Display Port, 4 x USB3.2 Gen2, and 3 x COM ports. It also provides optional 3 x COM/GPIO/USB. In addition, to meet the needs of the IoT applications, it also provides 1 x 2.5G LAN, 1 x Gigabit LAN, 2 x Antenna for Wi-Fi 6/BT (optional), 4 x Antenna for 5G (optional) for high-speed transmission providing faster speeds, lower latency, and higher device density. For data storage, it provides 1 x SATA III 2.5-inch storage space and 1 x M.2 Key-B, 1 x M.2 Key-E expansion slot, increasing the reliability and flexibility of operation for the ARC-1738 in harsh environments.
