Avalue launches new rugged and modular panel PCs with 13th Gen Intel® Core™

Avalue Technology Inc, a global leader in industrial computing solutions, announces the launch of the new SPC-1542/2142 and ARC-1242/1542 series of panel PCs, powered by 13th Generation Intel® Core™ (Raptor Lake-PS) processors. These two product lines share the same powerful motherboard platform, but are designed to meet different industrial needs - from extreme environments to applications that require extensive peripheral connectivity. This strategic product development allows Avalue to offer specialised solutions that address the unique challenges of industrial environments without compromising performance.

SPC-1542/2142: Unrivalled performance in extreme environments

The SPC-1542 (15") and SPC-2142 (21.5") are designed for demanding industries such as food production, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical and other environments with high hygiene requirements. These fanless panel PCs feature a stainless steel housing with full IP66 and IP69K certification, ensuring full protection against dust, water jets and even high-pressure and high-temperature pulsing. This makes them ideal as robust HMIs (Human-Machine Interface) for process monitoring and control - or as reliable infokiosks in environments where regular monitors cannot withstand the strain.

Key features for the SPC-1542/2142 series:

• Full IP66 & IP69K certification: Optimal protection against water, dust and pressurised cleaning.
• Intel® Core™ 13th Gen: Delivers powerful computing power for demanding tasks.
• Projective capacitive touchscreen: Flat screen for easy cleaning and intuitive operation.
• Waterproof M12 connectors: Safe and reliable I/O connection for LAN, USB and COM.
• Wide temperature range: Reliable from -10°C to 50°C (SPC-1542) and -10°C to 45°C (SPC-2142).
• DDR5 4800MHz RAM: Supports up to 32 GB for efficient data processing.
• ARC-1242/1542: Modular flexibility with intelligent expansion

ARC-1242 (12.1″) and ARC-1542 (15″)

With IP65-certified front and IP41 protection on the back, these robust panel PCs are perfect for industrial automation systems, intelligent factory HMIs, logistics and warehouse systems, and retail and hospitality kiosk solutions where data input, communication or integration of payment and scanning devices is needed.

The core strength of the ARC series is Avalue's Intelligent Expansion Technology (IET), which enables fast and flexible customisation of I/O modules. This means easy prototyping and faster time-to-market for customised solutions.

Key features for the ARC-1242/1542 series:

• IET module expansion: Flexible connection of additional devices such as audio, USB/COM ports, HDMI, MPCIe, GPIO and CAN bus.
• IP65 front: Protects against dust and water - ideal for both industry and business.
• Intel® Core™ 13th generation: Enough performance for complex applications.
• Flexible touch technology: Supports both 5-wire resistive and projective capacitive touch. ARC-1242 and ARC-1542 have resistive touch, while models ARC-1242-B and ARC-1542-B support PCAP.
• Extensive I/O: USB 3.2, USB 2.0, USB Type-C, dual Gigabit LAN and multiple M.2 slots for storage and wireless communication (Wi-Fi/BT/4G/5G - optional).
• Wide temperature range: Stable operation from -10°C to 50°C - and lower maintenance needs.
