TAIPEI, Taiwan – Oct 27th, 2025- Advantech (TWSE: 2395), a global leader in industrial IoT, has expanded its compact IPC lineup with the introduction of its new IPC-221 compact industrial computer chassis. Compared to the previous generation, IPC-221 packs desktop CPU performance (65W) into a compact box PC (240 x 233 x 93 mm) with a single-sided I/O layout, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained applications such as machine integration or cabinet installation. It delivers stable, high-performance computing to meet a wide range of industrial control requirements.
Compact Design with High Performance Multi-Generation CPU Support
The IPC-221 features a new flat design (240 x 233 x 93 mm) that saves vertical space, making it particularly suitable for cabinet installation. It can be paired with Advantech’s PCE-2x series motherboards and supports a wide range of CPU options, including Intel® Celeron®, Pentium®, and Core™ i3, i5, and i7 (10th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Generation) processors, as well as the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 2 (Ultra 5, Ultra 7, Ultra 9), providing both performance and flexibility. IPC-221 is capable of supporting high-load industrial applications, such as soft motion axis control, and HMI data visualization, ensuring real-time processing and system stability. When paired with the latest PCE-2134 or PCE-2034 CPU modules, the IPC-221 leverages its built-in NPU to enable the efficient execution of lightweight AI workloads at the edge. This makes the IPC-221 an ideal solution for smart manufacturing and automation environments.
Expanded I/O for Greater Functionality
IPC-221 offers extensive I/O expansion, including two full-height PCIe slots for additional expansion cards and multiple COM ports for easy connection to external devices. The Remote Switch function further enhances integration flexibility, allowing the IPC-221 to be deployed in diverse smart manufacturing scenarios and to meet various industrial requirements.
Upgraded Design for Compact Devices to Smart Factories
With its compact design, high-performance computing, and extensive I/O expansion, IPC-221 is an excellent choice for compact device integration, smart factories, and industrial automation. Engineered for diverse industrial scenarios, the IPC-221 acts as an edge controller, coordinating motion control, data acquisition, and vision systems to form a closed-loop architecture. It is also widely deployed in smart production lines for online coding, data collection, and for significantly enhancing operational efficiency. IPC-221 is now in mass production from October.
