Advantech offers flexibility in terms of performance requirements with the expansion modules called i-Module Series. The actual industrial PC takes them “piggyback”, so to speak, if it needs additional resources for a specific task, for example an additional graphics card. The advantage of this concept is that companies can use a uniform device platform for different requirements – a “standard computer” defined according to their ideas, which is then used in the field with or without an expansion module, or with suitable expansion modules for different purposes. This is because they supplement the actual industrial PC as needed, but do not change its basic configuration.
