On June 21, the three-day "2024 South China International Industry Fair" successfully concluded at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center (Bao'an). APQ showcased its flagship E-Smart IPC product, the AK series, along with a new product matrix at this industrial event.
The Rising Star: AK Series Draws Attention Again
The magazine-style intelligent industry controller AK series, a flagship product launched by APQ in 2024, has frequently appeared at major industry exhibitions and forums this year. Its innovative "1+1+1 combination" design concept and the flexibility of "thousands of combinations" in performance expansion have made it famous. At this exhibition, the AK series once again attracted many industry professionals.
The AK series fully covers Intel's three major platforms and Nvidia Jetson, from Atom and Core series to NX ORIN and AGX ORIN series, meeting diverse CPU computing power needs in different scenarios. This makes the AK series highly cost-effective in various industrial applications.
In practical applications, the AK host can be used as an independent host or, depending on specific requirements, can add or replace the high-speed expansion main magazine or the multi-I/O expansion auxiliary magazine. This versatility meets general needs while adapting to different industry-specific requirements.
New Architecture: Edge Devices Also Need "Autonomous Driving"
At this exhibition, APQ systematically demonstrated how its "E-Smart IPC" product matrix, which leads the new generation of industrial control product architecture, achieves "autonomous driving" for industrial edge devices through a combination of hardware and software. The hardware products showcased included the embedded industrial PC E series, backpack industrial all-in-one PCs, rack-mounted industrial PCs IPC series, and industry controllers TAC series.
On the software side, APQ has independently developed "IPC Smartmate" and "IPC SmartManager" based on IPC + toolchain. IPC Smartmate provides risk self-sensing and fault self-recovery capabilities, significantly improving the reliability and self-operation capability of single devices. IPC SmartManager, by offering centralized data storage, data analysis, and remote control capabilities, addresses the challenges of managing large clusters of devices, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.
Empowering New Productivity with "Industrial Intelligence Brain"
At the same time, APQ's Chen Jizhou delivered a keynote speech titled "Application of AI Edge Computing in Smart Factories" at the exhibition's themed forum "Industrial Digitalization and New Energy Industry Exchange Meeting." He elaborated on how APQ's E-Smart IPC product matrix provides comprehensive solutions for upgrading and transforming smart factories, enhancing system reliability and maintenance efficiency, and reducing enterprise operating costs.
New productivity is crucial for the development of China's economy, and automation and artificial intelligence have become indispensable driving forces in advancing new productivity. In recent years, domestic manufacturing enterprises have accelerated their pace of industrial upgrading and digital transformation.
As a leading industrial AI edge computing service provider in China, APQ will continue to focus on the industrial edge. Based on the "E-Smart IPC" product matrix, APQ aims to provide more reliable integrated solutions for industrial edge intelligent computing. By empowering new productivity with "Industrial Intelligence Brain," APQ supports the realization of "autonomous driving" for industrial edge devices, contributing to smarter industrial operations.
