Reliable Computing for Automation and Control
When building or upgrading an automation system, the computing platform must deliver consistent performance in demanding environments. Thinvent’s Aero Mini PC, powered by the Intel N100 processor (4 cores, up to 3.4 GHz), offers a fanless, low-power design ideal for machine control, HMI, data acquisition, and edge computing. With 16GB DDR4 RAM and a 128GB SSD, it provides enough headroom for real-time industrial software while maintaining silent operation and long-term reliability.
Key Specifications and Benefits
The Intel N100 integrates a 6MB cache and supports multiple OS options including Windows 11, Ubuntu, and Thinvent's Thinux embedded Linux. The compact form factor fits easily into control cabinets, and the 12V DC power input is compatible with industrial power supplies. Dual Ethernet ports and multiple USB connections ensure seamless integration with PLCs, sensors, and network infrastructure. Its fanless design eliminates moving parts, reducing failure risk in dusty, vibrating, or temperature-fluctuating automation environments.
Typical Use Cases
- Human-Machine Interface (HMI) – Powering touchscreen panels for operator control.
