Congatet, a leading supplier of embedded and edge computing technologies, will be showcasing a range of computer module (COM) products, as well as a variety of customer system designs, at the Shanghai International Embedded Exhibition (Booth No. 441) in Hall 3 of the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Center. Key innovation highlights include Conate’s new aReady. strategy, modules based on new Intel Core Ultra processors with integrated AI capabilities, and additional products based on innovative low-power and high-performance x86 processor technology for the first time. We will highlight modular solutions that improve performance and energy efficiency, and integrate advanced Internet of Things (IIoT) and security capabilities. These aReady.COM solutions will significantly improve the application readiness of computer modules (COM), differentiating Congatet’s offerings from other procurement options by facilitating the efficient and reliable development of modern, versatile, fully connected embedded and industrial iot devices.51304337-150

Mei Hui Lin, Sales Director of Congate China, explained: “The Industrial Internet of Things has presented original equipment manufacturers (Oems) with significant challenges, and as a leading supplier of computer modules, we have met these challenges by deeply expanding the capabilities of COM HPC, COM Express, SMARC and Qseven modules. For example, modular integrated virtualization technologies and industrial iot capabilities make it easier for solution providers to add capabilities to their applications without having to develop or integrate them themselves. We will demonstrate how our latest aReady strategy provides added value to OEM customers.”

Highlight: High performance COM-HPC ecosystem

Congatet will showcase the complete product ecosystem of COM HPC modules, including the new COM-HPC Mini size. Using a 13th-generation Intel Core processor (codenamed Raptor Lake), Congardt’s COM-HPC Mini module represents an important milestone in high-end embedded and edge computing at the Client level. Congatet’s COM-HPC product ecosystem consists of modules, powerful cooling solutions and carrier boards that highlight performance through modular edge computing and fan-less cooling edge server designs. Now, all Congatet COM-HPC modules also support aReady.COM solutions.

High-performance server module product ecosystem

51304337-150 Based on COM Express Type 7 and COM-HPC server modules, Congatet’s high performance server module product ecosystem is optimized for the highest bandwidth and performance demands of powerful edge servers. These modules are designed to support a wide range of industrial needs, from workload consolidation servers for automation, robotics and medical back-end imaging, to robust outdoor servers for utilities and critical infrastructure. It also addresses the advanced safety and security needs of autonomous vehicles and video infrastructure. Another essential suite for the product ecosystem is high-performance cooling, including robust and fanless cooling options to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments. In addition, the multifunctional carrier simplifies the integration process, making it easier for developers to design and deploy these solutions in a variety of applications.

Edge artificial intelligence upgrade

In addition, visitors can see the latest series of AI acceleration modules, including the new COM Express Compact module based on Intel Core Ultra processor (codenamed Meteor Lake). These new modules support a unique combination of heterogeneous compute engines and are ideal for running demanding AI workloads at the edge.

The conga-SA8 SMARC module is the size of a credit card and sets a new performance benchmark for future-proof industrial edge computing and powerful virtualization. Based on Intel Atom x7000RE series processors (codenamed Amston Lake) and Intel Core i3 processors, it offers twice as many cores as its predecessor while consuming the same amount of power. The target application area is smart factory applications that require high-performance real-time computing with strong AI capabilities. Examples include detection systems, stationary robotic arms, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).
