With the rapid development of the new generation of information technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G and big data, and leading the accelerated transformation and upgrading of various industries, China’s medical equipment industry is rapidly becoming modernized and intelligent.

Advanced medical equipment, such as surgical robots, have achieved innovative applications in neurosurgery and stomatology, which greatly extend the functions of human eyes and hands with more accurate surgical precision and stable surgical operation, and promote the development of related industries to be vigorously pursued by national policies and market funds. Following the development trend, North China Industrial Control has realized the successful application of embedded products in the field of surgical robots.

Take oral surgery robot as an example. Through intelligent computer system control, integrated high-precision navigation module, data acquisition card, display screen, robot arm, etc., surgical values (such as surgical site, Angle, depth, etc.) and operating procedures can be set in advance to greatly reduce surgical errors. With the guidance of the navigation system and robotic arm, the safety of surgery and the comfort of doctors and patients are also improved, and the development goals of “smart medicine” and “precision medicine” can be better achieved.

However, when it comes to practical applications, the multi-functional module integration of oral surgery robots, intelligent data analysis and processing and other requirements put forward higher standards for the expansibility of basic computer hardware and AI computing power. In addition, robot-assisted oral surgery has high requirements on the safety of the system operation, so it is necessary to realize more professional and reliable products from the hardware level. Based on this, embedded computer products with flexible scalability, data computing and durability become the ideal choice of oral surgery robot master platform. For example, North China Industrial Control EPC-3206I industrial machine.

// EPC-3206I supports oral surgery robot applications

EPC-3206I is an industrial machine built by North China Industrial Control based on the 8th / 9th generation Intel Core processor.
