Performance and Security Today — And For Years to Come

Running your high-end automation system on a less-than-adequate PC? Frustrated by Windows updates that disrupt your operating system? It’s time to switch to the Automation1 Intelligent Industrial PC (iPC).

Built on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise Long-Term Service Channel (LTSC), the Automation1 iPC has a full version of Windows 11 that delivers enterprise manageability and security. Windows 11 LTSC versions receive quality updates, but not feature updates. So, the device’s security stays up to date, but the functional performance remains unchanged. Applications that require the highest degree of long-term reliability, durability and security, such as medical equipment, point-of sales systems and ATMs, run on industrial PCs. Windows 11 LTSC is not available to commercial buyers.

Simple Integration. A Lifetime of Support.

Getting an optimized industrial PC from Aerotech eliminates hours of integration time and enables your team to focus their energy on where they add value. You also end up with a better solution that delivers consistently high real-time performance and will be supported by Aerotech through the life of your system.

Performance You Can Count On

The Automation1 iPC is set up for consistently high real-time performance, so you can expect long-term durability and reliable operation of your industrial automation solution. Other industrial PCs try to achieve this, but tend to yield too much performance jitter and real-time errors.

Effortless Integration

The Automation1 iPC arrives at your door as an optimized controller, which is set up and ready to go. It can be ordered with both the Automation1 software and controller installed. Just plug it in and start it up.

Options to Fit Your Needs

Choose from several iPC form factors to ensure the best fit for your application and space. The compact control cabinet version is easily mounted side-by-side with Automation1 motor drives for a clean, serviceable arrangement. The 4U and 19” rack mount PCs sit above or below an Aerotech 19” rack mount controller, such as the Automation1 XR3. The desktop version is an ideal match for lab and research environments.

Your Machine Control Solution

When partnered with the Automation1 software-based machine controller (iSMC), the iPC houses all the tools you need to control your machine. You’ll be ready to integrate complex processes — like coupling reliable high-resolution motion trajectory generation with advanced process tool controls, such as gantry and industrial laser control — or build a custom HMI with the Automation1 .NET API. Extend your machine control by communicating with intelligent cameras and other peripherals through Modbus®/TCP.
