en.Wedoany.com Reported - MiTAC Digital Technology (MDT) announced the launch of its second-generation embedded systems (Gen 2 Embedded Systems) to expand its edge AI product line. This industrial computing platform is designed for smart factories, transportation, and critical infrastructure, aiming to accelerate the deployment of edge AI, physical AI, machine vision, intelligent automation, and next-generation robotics. The announcement was made on July 23, 2026, in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
As industrial AI evolves from data analytics to physical AI—where intelligent machines perceive, understand, and interact with the physical world—deployment requirements are becoming increasingly diverse and demanding. From machine vision inspection and autonomous mobile robots to intelligent transportation systems and infrastructure monitoring, enterprises need industrial computing platforms capable of delivering reliable AI inference in real-world environments.
Leveraging decades of experience in industrial embedded computing, MDT has developed a new series of second-generation embedded systems as a unified industrial computing platform for next-generation edge AI and physical AI applications. This platform enables customers to standardize deployment across multiple AI workloads while reducing system integration complexity, verification difficulty, and long-term maintenance costs.
The MDT second-generation embedded systems series includes four dedicated platforms for different application scenarios: The MX2 series, powered by 14th-generation Intel Core processors, offers flexible I/O customization through the Xpansion modular architecture for AI-intensive workloads; the MP2 series, featuring Intel Core Ultra processors with multiple LAN and PoE interfaces, is optimized for industrial automation and connected edge environments; the MB2 series, based on Intel Processor N95 or Intel Core i3 processors, balances performance, flexibility, and cost efficiency for scalable deployments; and the ME2 series, equipped with Intel Atom N150 or Intel Core 3-N355 processors, provides ultra-compact platforms for space-constrained installations with support for PD/PSE Xpansion functionality.
For applications requiring greater AI computing power, the MZ1 series serves as a high-performance workstation supporting AI inference and model development, featuring 14th-generation Intel Core processors and dual GPU capabilities, offering scalability for increasingly complex industrial AI deployments.
The second-generation embedded systems series supports a wide range of AI-driven workloads, including machine vision, intelligent video analytics, autonomous mobile robots, robotics, industrial automation, and emerging physical AI applications. Its scalable architecture enables system integrators and solution providers to customize computing performance, connectivity, and modular expansion based on specific deployment needs while maintaining a unified hardware platform across projects.
Built with industrial-grade components, fanless thermal design, and compact form factors, the series is engineered for continuous operation in harsh edge environments, helping to maximize system uptime, reduce maintenance requirements, and support long-term reliability in factory automation, transportation infrastructure, and mission-critical applications.
As edge AI and physical AI continue to transform industrial automation and intelligent machines, OEMs, ODM, and system integrators need computing platforms that can evolve alongside rapidly advancing AI technologies. By combining modular architecture, industrial-grade reliability, and scalable computing performance, the second-generation embedded systems series provides a flexible foundation for more efficiently developing and deploying next-generation AI-driven industrial solutions.
