Industrial Embedded SBC Boards | 2.5", 3.5", EPIC and Special Size SBC

EMBEDDED SBC

Embedded Single Board Computers (SBC) are compact industrial computing platforms that integrate processor, memory, connectivity and I/O interfaces onto a single board. Designed for OEMs, system integrators and equipment manufacturers, industrial SBCs provide the ideal foundation for embedded products requiring reliability, long product availability and flexible integration.

Compared to standard commercial motherboards, industrial SBCs are engineered for continuous operation, extended temperature ranges, long-term lifecycle support and compatibility with industrial interfaces. Their compact design simplifies the development of embedded devices while reducing system complexity, power consumption and overall footprint.

The Digimax portfolio includes several Embedded SBC form factors optimized for different application requirements:

  • 2.5"/Pico-ITX SBC, for ultra-compact embedded designs.
  • 3.5" SBC, balancing compact dimensions with extensive connectivity.
  • EPIC SBC, designed for high-performance industrial applications.
  • Special Size SBC, optimized for Edge AI, robotics and IoT innovation.

These platforms support modern Intel and AMD embedded processors, industrial operating systems and a wide range of communication interfaces, making them suitable for projects ranging from industrial automation to advanced AI-enabled edge devices.

Industrial Reliability and Long Product Lifecycle

One of the primary advantages of industrial SBCs is their long-term availability. Manufacturers such as Advantech, AAEON and IEI Technology typically guarantee product availability for 5–7 years or longer, helping OEMs avoid costly redesigns caused by hardware obsolescence.

Industrial SBCs also incorporate components selected for reliability, extended operating temperatures, advanced thermal management and continuous 24/7 operation, making them suitable for critical embedded applications.

Designed for Embedded Systems, IoT and Edge Computing

Modern SBC platforms are increasingly used as the computing core of intelligent devices and connected systems. Their compact footprint, low power consumption and rich connectivity make them ideal for Industrial IoT gateways, machine control systems, medical equipment, transportation platforms and AI-powered edge devices.

Support for Windows IoT, Linux, Docker, ROS and AI frameworks such as OpenVINO enables developers to accelerate deployment while maintaining flexibility across different software environments.
