Avalue Technology Inc., a provider specialising in industrial computer solutions, has announced the launch of its new industrial panel PCs, the APC-2146 and APC-2346.
Featuring 21.5-inch and 23.8-inch Full HD displays, the new systems are powered by the Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 125U processor platform and integrate AI computing capability, fanless thermal architecture, and a slim industrial-grade design. The new APC series is designed to address diverse edge computing applications including smart retail, self-service kiosks, smart healthcare and industrial automation.
As AIoT and smart environments continue to evolve, demand for real-time data analytics, human-machine interaction and AI edge inference is rapidly increasing. Combining Intel’s latest Meteor Lake Core™ Ultra platform with a highly integrated architecture and flexible expansion capabilities, the APC-2146 and APC-2346 help system integrators and enterprise customers accelerate intelligent deployments while delivering an ideal balance of performance, reliability and space efficiency for modern edge computing environments.
Powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra Platform for Enhanced AI Edge Computing
The APC-2146 and APC-2346 are equipped with the Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 125U processor, leveraging the latest Meteor Lake architecture and integrated NPU AI engine to significantly enhance CPU and graphics performance. The systems are optimised for real-time data processing, intelligent image recognition, interactive digital applications and AI edge inference workloads.
Both models support up to 32GB DDR5 5600MHz memory and provide an M.2 Key E expansion interface for optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, enabling high-speed wireless connectivity and IoT integration. The systems also support Windows 10, Windows 11 and Linux operating systems.
Slim and Stylish Design with Industrial-Grade Durability
The APC series adopts a true-flat narrow bezel design with projected capacitive multi-touch technology (PCAP Touch), delivering an intuitive and responsive user experience while maintaining a modern aesthetic.
The APC-2146 features an ultra-slim profile of approximately 45.5 mm, while the APC-2346 measures approximately 49.5 mm in thickness. Both systems utilise a lightweight plastic chassis and fully enclosed fanless cooling design to reduce operational noise and minimise dust accumulation, making them ideal for high-dust, high-usage or mission-critical environments requiring long-term stable operation. The front panel is IP65-rated for water and dust resistance, further enhancing system reliability and ease of maintenance.
Both models offer comprehensive industrial I/O connectivity, including 2 x Intel® Gigabit Ethernet, 4 x USB 3.0, USB Type-C, HDMI, Audio Line-out / MIC-in, and 12~24V DC wide-range power input. The systems support VESA mounting and stand accessories, enabling flexible deployment on walls, counters, machinery, and mobile medical carts.
Smart Retail, Industrial Automation, and Healthcare Markets
For smart retail and self-service applications, the APC series combines high-sensitivity multi-touch capability with high-speed wireless networking to deliver smoother interactive experiences while supporting backend data synchronization and cloud integration.
In Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing environments, the APC series serves as an HMI interface and equipment monitoring platform, supporting real-time production monitoring, quality management and equipment integration. Its fanless architecture, IP65 protection and wide-range power input make it suitable for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments, helping improve production efficiency and equipment reliability.
For smart healthcare applications, the APC series offers low-noise operation, easy maintenance and high reliability, making it ideal for bedside information systems, nursing stations, mobile medical carts and medical equipment interfaces to improve workflow efficiency and patient care quality.
