Overview
Built for the Edge of Your Network
The AP210 is a compact industrial PC built for always-on deployment in control cabinets, equipment enclosures, and field installations. No fans, no dust filters, no scheduled maintenance – mount it, connect power, and it runs.
The Intel Celeron J6412 draws just 10W, keeping the aluminium chassis cool enough for sealed enclosures and outdoor cabinets. A mini-PCIe slot with SIM card holder adds Wi-Fi, 4G, or 5G for remote and unmanned sites.
No Moving Parts
Fanless design. The aluminium chassis dissipates heat passively. No fans to fail, no filters to clean, no maintenance required.
Network Segmentation
Three independent Gigabit Ethernet ports isolate OT, IT, and management traffic without additional infrastructure.
Serial & Legacy Support
RS232 and RS485 connect PLCs, sensors, flow meters, and industrial instruments directly.
Wireless Connectivity
Mini-PCIe expansion for Wi-Fi, 4G, or 5G at sites without wired internet.
10W Power Consumption
Fanless Celeron J6412 runs cool enough for sealed enclosures and outdoor cabinets.

Key Features
What Makes the AP210 Different
Industrial-grade hardware in a compact, fanless package.
Triple Gigabit Ethernet
Three independent RJ45 Intel GbE LAN ports. Segment OT, IT, and management networks without an external switch.
Dual 4K Display
HDMI and DisplayPort, both 4K 60Hz. Run an operator panel and monitoring display from one unit.
Serial Port Access
RS232 + RS485 built in. Connect PLCs, barcode scanners, sensors, and legacy industrial devices directly.
Wireless Ready
Mini-PCIe slot with a SIM holder. Add Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, or 5G for remote and unmanned sites.
Wide Voltage Input
DC 12–24V with protection. Runs from standard industrial power, vehicle batteries, or solar installations.
Vibration & Shock Tested
20G shock, IEC60068 vibration rated. CE and FCC Class B certified for deployment alongside sensitive equipment.
Reliability
Built to Run. Built to Last.
No fan failures. No filter changes. No maintenance windows. Just years of uninterrupted operation.
Environmental Testing
IEC60068 certified. Every unit is factory-tested and verified before shipping to your site.
Shock Rated
Survives the bumps, vibrations, and harsh handling of industrial deployment.
Vibration Resistant
Stays stable on shaking machinery and mobile platforms.
Thermal Range
–20 to 60°C operating, –40 to 80°C storage. Works in freezing outdoor cabinets and hot factory floors without derating.
Zero Moving Parts
The chassis itself is the heatsink. Heat dissipates through the aluminium surface. 10W TDP means it runs cool enough to touch.
I/O Panel
Every Port You Need
Front and side panels give you access to all connectivity without removing the unit from its mount.
Networking
3× Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) · 1× Mini-PCIe + SIM slot for Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G
Serial
1× RS232 + 1× RS485 (terminal block) for PLCs, sensors, legacy devices
USB
3× USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type-A) for peripherals and expansion
Display
1× HDMI + 1× DisplayPort (both 4K @ 60Hz) for dual monitors or touchscreens
Power
DC 12–24V (terminal block) · 45W max with protection
Edge Computing & IoT Gateway
Deploy the AP210 at the edge of your network and let it work. Three independent Gigabit Ethernet ports segment OT, IT, and management traffic without external switches. RS232 and RS485 connect directly to PLCs, sensors, and legacy Modbus devices. Add a 5G module via the mini-PCIe slot for sites without wired internet.
Network Segmentation
Three independent Gigabit Ethernet ports isolate OT, IT, and management traffic. No external switch needed.
Protocol Bridging
RS232 and RS485 connect Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet, and serial devices to IP networks.
Remote Sites
Mini-PCIe + SIM slot for 4G/5G at locations without wired connectivity.
Typical deployments: MQTT/OPC-UA gateways, SCADA data concentrators, Modbus-to-IP protocol converters, building management system bridges, remote environmental monitoring.
HMI & Operator Panel Stations
Run a touchscreen panel and a monitoring display from one unit. The AP210’s dual 4K outputs (HDMI + DisplayPort) let you drive independent displays side-by-side. USB 3.1 connects industrial touchscreen controllers, barcode scanners, and input devices. The fanless design means it runs silently at the operator’s workstation – no noise, no maintenance.
Dual 4K Displays
HDMI + DisplayPort both at 4K 60Hz. Run operator panel and monitoring display simultaneously from one unit.
Touchscreen Compatible
USB 3.1 for plug-and-play industrial touch controllers and peripherals.
Any HMI Software
Standard x86 runs AVEVA, Ignition, WinCC, or browser-based dashboards. No software lock-in.
Typical deployments: Production line operator terminals, process monitoring dashboards, quality inspection displays, warehouse status boards, reception kiosks.
Remote Monitoring & Unmanned Sites
Deploy the AP210 where you can’t visit regularly. Water treatment plants, cell towers, solar farms, substations. At 1.06 kg fully fanless, it mounts on a DIN rail in sealed cabinets and outdoor enclosures. Connect sensors via RS232/RS485, push data upstream over Ethernet or 4G/5G. No fans means no dust ingestion, no filter changes, no maintenance visits just to keep it running.
Deploy and Forget
Fanless design with no moving parts. Runs unattended in sealed cabinets and outdoor enclosures for years without service.
Cellular Connectivity
4G/5G module in the mini-PCIe slot for remote locations without wired internet.
Direct Sensor Access
RS232 and RS485 read from flow meters, temperature probes, pressure sensors, and industrial instruments.
Typical deployments: Water treatment telemetry, solar farm monitoring, environmental stations, substation data logging, remote agriculture sensors, cell tower infrastructure.
Software Compatibility
Your Software Stack. No Restrictions.
Standard x86 hardware runs Windows, Linux, or your custom image. No vendor lock-in, no licensing fees.
