Avalue Launches Ultra-Slim Fanless Systems for Smart Automation and Retail Edge Applications

Avalue, Taiwan, 14.07.2025 - Avalue Technology Inc. (TPEx: 3479.TWO), a global leader in industrial computing solutions, proudly introduces two new ultra-slim fanless systems - ACS-ALUC and ACS-ADNC - offering scalable performance powered by either Intel® Core™ i3/i5 12th/13th Gen or Intel® N97/I3-N305 processors. Sharing an identical mechanical design, these systems are optimized for edge computing in smart automation and retail environments, combining compact form factor with reliable and flexible deployment.

As industries embrace digital transformation, edge computing demands systems that are not only powerful but also space-saving and ruggedized. The ACS series meets these requirements with its 180mm x 136mm x 40mm ultra-slim footprint, ideal for installations in tight spaces or wall/VESA mounting scenarios. Its fanless thermal design ensures silent operation and long-term stability in dusty or harsh environments—making it a reliable fit for mission-critical industrial deployments.

Positioned as the high-performance model, the ACS-ALUC integrates Intel® Core™ i3/i5 12th/13th Gen processors and supports up to 32GB of DDR4 memory. With Intel® Iris® Xe or UHD graphics, plus dual display outputs via DP++ and HDMI 2.0b, it is ideal for AI vision inspection, interactive digital signage, smart counters, and other display-intensive applications in both industrial and commercial environments.

For cost-conscious applications, the ACS-ADNC offers an economical solution powered by the Intel® N97/I3-N305 processor. Supporting up to 16GB of DDR4 memory and equipped with 4 x RS232 COM ports and dual GbE LAN, it is perfectly suited for machine control, and edge data acquisition tasks that require reliable connectivity and 24/7 operation.

Both models share a robust I/O suite, including three M.2 expansion slots (Key-E/B/M) for Wi-Fi, NVMe SSD, and I/O modules. They are compatible with Windows 10/11 and Linux, and have passed rigorous vibration, shock, and drop testing. With a wide operating temperature range from -10°C to 55°C and lockable DC power input, these systems are ready for deployment in demanding field environments.

As part of Avalue’s expanding AIoT and embedded portfolio, the ACS-ALUC and ACS-ADNC exemplify the company’s commitment to delivering scalable, efficient, and field-ready solutions for edge intelligence. Both models are available for sampling and mass production now, and are ideal for applications in smart factories, logistics hubs, interactive retail, and digital signage.
