On March 18, 2024, Moxa, a leader in industrial communications and networking, announced the launch of a new x86 industrial computer (IPC). With excellent performance, adaptability and durability, this series of computers can meet the strong demand for data interconnection and real-time processing of massive equipment data at the industrial edge. The industrial sector is rapidly embracing digital transformation and increasing awareness of resource optimization is driving the need for reliable x86 IPC as edge devices to interface with Industrial iot application platforms, accelerating the deployment of Industry 4.0 functional solutions.

PFEA112-65 3BSE030369R0065 According to the Research report “Industrial Automation Hardware Innovation” published by ABI Research, a market research firm: PLCs, IPCs and HMIs, in the industrial computer (IPC), programmable logic controller (PLC), human machine interface (HMI) three industrial automation hardware markets, the industrial computer market is the fastest growing, 2023 to 2033 compound annual growth rate or will reach 6%, The market cap is expected to rise from $11 billion to $19.7 billion.

In order to meet the demand for robust and reliable industrial computers in the industrial edge upgrade project, Moxa launched a new x86 industrial computer product, including the BXP, DRP and RKP series, a total of 75 models, with rich shape specifications, flexible interface combinations, and support for a variety of Intel® series processors. This comprehensive industrial computer portfolio is designed to meet the changing needs of industrial automation.

“With the industrial computer market booming, we have deployed innovative processes to create a new generation of industrial computer portfolio that meets the full range of customer requirements, including product life cycle cost control, fanless design, easy configuration options, full life cycle service and more.” Jonas Chen, Head of Moxa’s x86 Industrial Computer business, said: “With more than 35 years of OT experience and expertise in serving various industries, as well as a proven track record of helping industrial users effectively manage edge data connectivity and networking, Moxa is committed to bringing best-in-class industrial computer products to market. A key piece of the edge connectivity blueprint – seamless connectivity between edge devices and industrial automation systems.”

The BXP, DRP, and RKP families all support a 3-year hardware warranty and a 10-year product life commitment (released in 2023). These products once again demonstrate Moxa’s relentless pursuit of quality excellence and commitment to providing long-term and stable support for customers’ business development. In addition, with convenient on-demand Configuration Services (CTOS), customers can quickly determine the best solution for their application in just a few simple steps.

High reliability to ensure all-weather operation and product life

The BXP, DRP and RKP series of robust fanless computers operate reliably in harsh environments. While POS systems in the transportation industry and gas stations process large amounts of data and are often deployed in harsh outdoor environments, x86 industrial computers are designed to effectively dissipate heat, reduce additional maintenance and system failures, and ensure reliable 24/7 operation of POS systems.

PFEA112-65 3BSE030369R0065 In addition, these computers have been tested to a number of stringent safety standards, including continuous exposure to extreme temperatures, power surges, shocks, etc., to maintain uninterrupted operation in extreme weather conditions without overheating or freezing.

For the purpose of ensuring quality, Moxa is the best in the industrial computer market and promises a 3-year hardware warranty period, fully demonstrating its confidence in product quality. Up to 10 years of product life cycle support services to further ensure the continuous supply and use of products.

A comprehensive portfolio of x86 industrial computers for a wide range of automation applications

The BXP, DRP, and RKP series support wall-mounted, guideway, and rack-mounted mounting methods, and have three corresponding shape specifications. You can select the most appropriate installation mode based on application scenarios, space constraints, and installation costs.

In addition, the base model is available in a variety of interface combinations, supporting up to 12 LAN ports and 10 serial ports, depending on the product family. Support Intel Atom®, Intel® Celeron®, or Intel® CoreTM series processors for a wide range of complex application scenarios. In addition, CTOS services provide a wide range of options such as operating systems, memory, storage disks, etc., making system assembly easier to manage and accelerating the time to market.

Moxa’s new generation of x86 industrial computers are designed to maximize connectivity at the edge of industrial automation, setting new standards in reliability, adaptability, and service life.
