The Advantech EI-53 Compact Edge System is powered by 13th Gen Intel Core Mobile processors with up to 10 cores and DDR5 5200 MHz dual-channel memory up to a maximum capacity of 64 GB. It also features Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics. The device’s computing capability is designed to integrate with pre-installed software tailored for industrial applications. It features the Advantech SUSI API for GPIO, CANBUS access, DeviceOn for OTA updates, remote monitoring, real-time management and ready with Ubuntu 22.04. Additionally, a robotics software package expedites robotics applications, complemented by a pre-built Robotics SDK. With its extensive I/O connectivity and integrated software packages, the device caters to semiconductor equipment, robotics & AMR, and energy storage applications, supporting industry standard protocols. It also received the IoT Edge Computing Excellence Award from IoT Evolution World.

The compact edge system is equipped with a range of I/O ports including 2 x CANBus, 3 x RS-232/422/485, 2 x LAN (with one up to 2.5 G), 6 x USB and DI/O. It utilises its space to accommodate an M.2 M-key 2280/E-Key 2230/B-key 3042&3052, allowing for advanced LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi and AI module connectivity. In terms of display interfaces, the device supports dual 4K lockable HDMI 2.0b, with ultra-high 4096 x 2160 resolution. These I/O options meet the demand for various types of connectivity.

The device is designed to facilitate remote management with its integrated Advantech DeviceOn software. This software streamlines centralised management, data integration, real-time monitoring and OTA updates for both software and firmware batches. Furthermore, the SUSI API acts as a bridge, simplifying and enhancing the synergy between hardware and software. It provides system protection, device monitoring, I/O control and application extension on Advantech platforms.

The system comes preconfigured with a Robotics SDK, easing the development process for robotics applications. It supports toolkits such as Rviz, Movelt and NAV2 on Linux. Finally, as an Ubuntu Ready System, it provides security updates, tri-weekly CVE maintenance and five years of long-term support (LTS). These features collectively make the Advantech EI-53 suitable for robotics and AMR applications.
