IR Certification Panel PC will revolutionize the Industrial Internet of Things

     Advantech announces a breakthrough in advancing iot interoperability. Based on Arm's HMI TPC-100W series, it uses NXP's i.MX 8M mini quad-core processor and is Arm SystemReady IR certified. The company's TPC-100W series redefines industrial iot standards with its groundbreaking Arm SystemReady IR certification. This certification ensures unparalleled interoperability, reliable performance, and seamless integration across a wide range of industrial applications.

     This milestone demonstrates the company's commitment to providing standardized, reliable and easy-to-integrate solutions, and marks a significant leap forward in ensuring arm panel PCS are interoperable and compliant with industry standards, setting a new benchmark for industrial iot deployments.

     The series now includes secure boot as part of its authentication requirements, providing enhanced protection against unauthorized code execution and firmware attacks. This security feature uses PKI, a complex digital certificate, asymmetric encryption, and CA system. PKI ensures that only verified, trusted software is executed during the boot process, preventing malicious code and maintaining system integrity. This advanced security measure is essential to protect critical operations and sensitive data in today's industrial environment, where cybersecurity threats are constant.

     The Arm SystemReady IR certification ensures that the range adheres to rigorous industry standards, providing seamless integration with a wide range of software and hardware environments. A key feature of the certification is support for UEFI, which standardizes the startup process, minimizes compatibility issues and simplifies iot deployments. UEFI ensures a consistently reliable boot and is critical for industrial applications that require high uptime and fast recovery.

     IR certification allows the series to support multiple operating systems, including Linux, Yocto, Ubuntu, Debian, and more. This extensive operating system support is achieved by ensuring compatibility, standardized boot processes, and hardware interfaces. By following these standards, the family can efficiently run different operating systems without the need for customization. Using standard Linux distributions, the family integrates seamlessly with the existing ecosystem, allowing automatic, real-time security updates. This enables developers to focus on building domain-specific applications, speeding time to market and reducing overall project costs for Advantech customers.

     The versatile series includes industrial panel PCS with display sizes of 7 ", 10.1 ", 15.6 "and 21.5" with true flat front panels with P-CAP multitouch control, 15.6 "and 21.5" with true flat front panels with P-CAP multitouch control, CAN 2.0 protocol support and Power over Ethernet capabilities. The company also introduced the enhanced TPC-100WX, designed for extreme environments, providing outdoor readable displays, extended temperature ranges, and improved shock resistance in harsh conditions. Eight different models are available to suit a variety of applications.
