Avalue Unveils High-Performance Rugged SPC & Modular ARC Lineup for Versatile Industrial Applications

Avalue, Taiwan, 24.07.2025 - Avalue Technology Inc. (TPEx: 3479.TWO), a global leader in industrial computing solutions, announces the release of its new SPC-1542/2142 and ARC-1242/1542 series of panel PCs, powered by the 13th Generation Intel® Core™ (Raptor Lake-PS) processors. While sharing a common, powerful motherboard foundation, these two distinct product lines are engineered to meet diverse industrial demands, from the most extreme environments to those requiring extensive peripheral connectivity. This strategic approach allows Avalue to offer highly specialized solutions that address the unique challenges of various industrial applications without compromising on core processing power.

SPC-1542/2142: Unyielding Performance in Extreme Environments

The SPC-1542 (15") and SPC-2142 (21.5") models are purpose-built for the demanding industrial environments, including food processing, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and other hygiene-critical operations. These fanless panel PCs feature a full IP66- and IP69K-rated stainless steel chassis, providing comprehensive protection against dust, water jets, and even high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. This makes them ideal for environments requiring stringent hygiene and durability, serving as robust Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) for process control and monitoring, or as highly resilient kiosks in extreme conditions where conventional displays cannot endure.

Key features of the SPC-1542/2142 series include: 

• Full IP66 & IP69K Compliance: Ensures resilience in wet, dusty, and sterile environments.
• 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors: Delivers robust computing power for demanding industrial tasks.
• Projective Capacitive Touchscreen: Offers a full-flat design for easy cleaning and intuitive operation.
• Waterproof M12 Connectors: Provides secure and reliable I/O connections for LAN, USB, and COM ports.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -10°C to 50°C (SPC-1542) and -10°C to 45°C (SPC-2142).
• DDR5 4800MHz Memory: Supports up to 32GB for superior data processing.

ARC-1242/1542 Modular Versatility with Intelligent Expansion

The ARC-1242 (12.1") and ARC-1542 (15") models are designed for applications demanding high flexibility and extensive peripheral integration. Featuring an IP65-compliant front panel and IP41 rear enclosure, these rugged panel PCs excel in environments where the front panel is exposed to dust and splashing water, while the rear requires standard protection. This makes them ideal for industrial automation and smart factory HMIs logistics and warehousing terminals, as well as retail and hospitality kiosks needing data input, communication, or integration with custom payment or scanning peripherals.The standout feature of the ARC series is Avalue’s innovative Intelligent Expansion Technology (IET). IET modules make I/O customization faster and more flexible, allowing users to choose the module that best fits their specific application needs. This facilitates quick-turn prototyping and reduces time-to-market for tailored solutions.

Key features of the ARC-1242/1542 series include: 

• IET Expansion: Provides unparalleled flexibility for integrating diverse peripherals such as audio, additional USB/COM ports, HDMI, MPCIe, GPIO, and CAN bus.
• IP65 Front Panel: Protects against dust and water ingress, suitable for various industrial and commercial settings.
• 13th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors: Ensures high performance for complex applications.
• Versatile Touch Technology: Offers both 5-wire Resistive Touch and Projected Capacitive (PCAP) Touch options, balancing durability with intuitive operation. Specifically, the ARC-1242 and ARC-1542 support resistive touch, while the ARC-1242-B and ARC-1542-B support projected capacitive touch.
• Rich I/O: Includes USB 3.2, USB 2.0, USB Type-C, dual Gigabit LAN, and multiple M.2 slots for storage and wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi/BT/4G/5G optional).
• Wide Temperature Range: Maintains reliability and reduces maintenance in a wide temperature range of -10°C to 50°C.

Avalue's SPC-1542/2142 and ARC-1242/1542 series demonstrate the company's commitment to delivering scalable, performance-driven, and field-optimized IPC solutions that meet diverse operational needs. Both series offer the same robust computing power, whether you need a fully waterproof solution for hygiene-critical zones or a modular, expandable platform for rapid deployment. In addition, with support for Windows 10/11, Linux, and TPM 2.0 for enhanced security, these solutions provide versatile and reliable performance across various environments.
