Avalue Harnesses Rockchip’s Power Next-Gen Embedded Solutions for KIOSK, HMI & Industrial Automation

Avalue, Taiwan, 20.05.2025 - Avalue Technology Inc. (TPEX: 3479.TWO), a global leader in industrial computing solutions, is proud to introduce their embedded systems powered by Rockchip: SID-10WR2, a KIOSK & HMI Solution and the OFT-21WR2, an Open Frame Panel PC. Embedded systems are the backbone of modern automation, widely used in self-service kiosks, vending machines, control cabinets, and many other applications. These systems enhance operational efficiency by delivering reliable, real-time processing in compact and energy-efficient designs.

Why Rockchip? Key Strengths for Embedded Applications

Rockchip’s system-on-chip (SoC) solutions stand out in embedded systems due to three core advantages:

1. Broad Application Scenarios: From retail kiosks to industrial control panels, Rockchip chips (e.g., RK3568, RK3588) support diverse fields with flexible I/O and OS compatibility (Linux/Android).
2. Highly Integrated & Low-Power Design: Combining CPU, GPU, and multimedia engines into a single chip reduces hardware complexity and power consumption—ideal for 24/7 operations.
3. Superior Multimedia & Imaging: With 4K video decoding, dual-display support, and ISP capabilities, Rockchip enables rich visual interfaces and AI-driven analytics (e.g., facial recognition in smart kiosks).

SID-10WR2 – The Ultimate KIOSK & HMI Solution

Designed especially for KIOSK and HMI applications, the SID-10WR2 is powered by the Rockchip RK3568, featuring a quad-core Cortex-A55 processor clocked at 2.0GHz and Mali-G52 GPU for smooth graphics rendering. This compact yet powerful solution comes with onboard 2GB LPDDR4 memory and 32GB eMMC storage, ensuring responsive performance even in demanding interactive applications. Its dual-display capability through HDMI 2.0 and LCD with PCAP touch (IP65-rated front panel) makes it ideal for customer-facing interfaces, while Gigabit Ethernet and onboard WiFi5/BT5.0 provide flexible connectivity options. The inclusion of an M.2 slot for SSD expansion and optional OOB module enhances data reliability, making it perfect for environments requiring fast boot times and crash recovery.

Example Use Case: In a hospital self-check-in kiosk, the SID-10WR2’s instant boot capability and responsive touch interface reduce patient wait times, while its rugged design ensures 24/7 operation without maintenance hassles. The dual-display feature allows simultaneous operation and promotional content playback, enhancing user engagement while optimizing staff workload.

OFT-21WR2 – Versatile Performance for Industrial Automation

The OFT-21WR2 demonstrates Rockchip’s adaptability in industrial environments, featuring the same powerful RK3568 processor with 2GB LPDDR4 and 32GB eMMC for reliable operation. Its comprehensive I/O set includes three RS232 ports, one RS485 interface, and 16-bit GPIO for seamless integration with industrial equipment, while dual-display support via HDMI and LCD enables flexible monitoring solutions. The built-in Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi5/BT5.0 ensure stable network connectivity, critical for Industry 4.0 applications. Storage expansion is facilitated through M.2 and microSD slots, and the 2W audio amplifier adds voice prompt capabilities.

Example Use Case: In a smart factory setting, the OFT-21WR2 serves as the control hub for production line monitoring. Its multiple serial ports connect seamlessly with PLCs and sensors, while the dual displays allow operators to view real-time data and control panels simultaneously. The rugged, fanless design withstands harsh industrial environments, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Rockchip – The Smart Choice for Embedded Systems

Rockchip’s performance, versatility, and cost-efficiency make it ideal for embedded applications —whether in retail, industrial automation, or IoT environments. By integrating solutions like the SID-10WR2 and OFT-21WR2, businesses can achieve higher productivity, lower costs, and future-ready scalability.
