The emergence of 5G, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can unlock digital transformation to meet the needs of various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, urban infrastructure, etc. While Cloud solutions are becoming indispensable technology, challenges around the system performance, privacy, and complexity stimulate connected technology innovation for Edge Computing. AEWIN provides innovative hardware to handle evolving edge computing needs to keep ahead of the competition. The most recent releases of SCB-1932C and SCB-1937C purpose-built servers add speed, flexibility, reliability and maximal computing power to support diverse edge computing for multi-access edge computing (MEC) and AIoT applications.AEWIN's solutions provide better data security, and efficient control over continuous operation in AI-based applications such as in-vehicle systems, facial recognition, and manufacturing equipment. The distance between system computing units and the edge must be as close as possible to reduce delays caused by excessive load on the upper layer computing platform and mid layer network bandwidth. However, the physical space inside edge equipment is limited, which means the dimensions of boards and components must be drastically reduced. Furthermore, cooling issues can also impact the performance of computing units. These factors have caused challenges in product development SCB-1932C and SCB-1937C addressed these issues with small footprints and double-width GPU designs.In terms of dimensions, both the SCB-1932C and SCB-1937C are 600mm in length, a mere 3/4 of the 800mm units commonly found in other servers. The smaller footprint allows for better space utilization while also catering to expandability, thereby achieving an excellent balance between flexibility and performance. On top of that, the frontal access design has 2 key advantages:*No need to dismantle the entire case for maintenance, which increases convenience.*Increased product reliability due to the cooling facilitated by the frontal configurations of network ports and accelerator cards.The double-width GPU massively increases AI performance for edge computing. Compared to the current single-width GPUs used to perform AI inference on edge equipment, double-width GPUs provide both functions of inference and training. After sufficient data has been captured through a period of operation, double-width GPUs can retrain models in real-time and continuously improve the AI accuracy of edge equipment.Nevertheless, AEWIN has both Intel and AMD CPU options as integration benefits to match users' selections.*SCB-1932C integrates with 3rd gen Intel Xeon scalable processors. which has been on the market quite a while; it boasts high market share in the high-performance computing market as well as comprehensive support for peripheral technologies.*SCB-1937C integrates with AMD EPYC 7002/7003 series processors; it promotes advanced manufacturing processes and aggressive pricing strategy.These two major brands bring benefits to the table with different key competitive positioning. Ultimately, users' needs will determine which CPU brand is right for them by taking the budget and applications into considerations.SCB-1932C and SCB-1937C can be applied in MEC, networking equipment, and AIoT systems; AEWIN also provides comprehensive services to support these applications. We boast industry leading designs in system architecture, platform support, accelerator card modules, and NVMe modules focused on networking applications. The BIOS, firmware, and mechanism designs by AEWIN are customizable to meet different customers' requirements and needs.In an increasingly competitive market environment, availability and product launch schedule become critical factors that impact competitiveness. However, the manufacturers/customers only discover their products' performance falls short of expectations during the development phase. This results in extended development stage of the projects or launching underperforming products. An off the shelf (OTS) solution offered by AEWIN can ease the problem by allowing customers to conduct testing prior to model and solution selection. By verifying the products in advance, products can go-to-market on schedule successfully with controlled quality. Aside from the advantages, OTS can also be combined with AEWIN's customization services to expand into a series of products. While other OEM/ODM designed manufacturers offer value-added services, they do not necessarily accept projects with low volume and high diversity as orders must achieve a minimum quantity threshold. AEWIN provides OTS customizable firmware, hardware, and mechanisms to satisfy the customization requirements and launch schedule expectations, thereby improving the product competitiveness and taking advantage of new business opportunities in both edge computing and AI markets.

Monitors are seen as the last mile for many smart systems. However, as application fields increase in variety, this last mile must also provide more functional specifications so that users can have an experience that is both convenient and eye-opening. The DP-173X-UHD industrial touch monitor recently launched by Atemitech Corporation, a key subsidiary of Getac Holdings Corp, provides industrial users with a stable, highly efficient human-machine user experience in its products through MiniLED backlight modules, unique composite materials developed by Atemitech, and a number of unique designs.More flexible monitor design goes beyond the existing solutions on the marketAtemitech Corporation's DP-173X-UHD industrial touch monitor uses a MiniLED backlight source. Past MiniLED LCMs would integrate the timing controller chip and the LED driver chip into the LCM control board. But since this method would limit the selectable brands of timing controller chips, Atemitech Corporation proposed two other circuit structures, each of which going beyond the limitations imposed by existing timing controller chip solutions on the market.Atemitech's first solution (hardware) is to insert a bridge between the output interface of the main board and the input interface of the panel. This bridge integrates the local dimming ASIC and the MiniLED driver chip. After the image signal undergoes local brightness calculation by the local dimming control chip for each frame, brightness control of the local backlight is completed through the MiniLED driver chip. The second solution is to connect the MCU bridge to a USB interface. The calculation of local dimming is performed by special software at the backend of the operation system. After the calculation, local grayscale is sent by the MCU to command the MiniLED driver chip to complete the operation. Using either the first or second solution, the MiniLED driver chip used in the DP-173X-UHD supports 576 local dimming zones.In addition, highlighting the 100,000:1 ultra-high contrast ratio of the DP-173X-UHD's MiniLED HDR, the projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreen, and full-black display after optical bonding, the ink black color must be adjusted for consistency with the chromatic aberration of the monitor, which also allows the screen area of the DP-173X-UHD to display Integrated Black Panel (IBP) effects in the borders when in a dark state.Impact resistant, light-weight, and flexible shape—Atemitech's unique composite material offers obvious advantagesIn terms of the panel, the cover lens of the DP-173X-UHD adopts Atemitech's unique composite material. At present, most cover lenses on the market are made of glass or plastic. Atemitech's unique composite materials and manufacturing process boast impact resistance, light weight, and shape flexibility (the material can be curved), which are far superior to those of glass. The stress of the composite sheet during extrusion can be released by controlling the temperature and flow rate of the process, which reduces rainbow pattern effects. The composite sheet produced by extrusion molding with coating technology has the most obvious advantages among all the cover lens solutions using different materials, making it suitable for vehicle-mounted monitors, industrial controls, military use, and other outdoor scenarios where safety and practicality are of paramount importance.The unique composite front panel used in the DP-173X-UHD can provide customers with a complete solution. Atemitech optimized the surface hardness, anti-glare/reflection, anti-fingerprinting, and other optical properties of the composite sheet through its coating technology. In addition, it can also adjust the transmittance and ink colors of the lens according to design requirements, which gives the display a "true black" effect, allowing users to feel the high levels of visual texture in the display. In addition, the introduction of hot pressing makes Atemitech capable of producing curved front panels. Atemitech provides complete solutions in the processes of bonding unique composite materials and touch touchscreens and in the optical bonding of MiniLED panels. It possesses the ability to satisfy end-client design requirements for cover lenses, while also having the ability to monitor the entire process with efficacy in real time, thus ensuring product quality.Atemitech Corporation's LumiBond sunlight readable monitor solution provides the most stable visual experienceAs for the touch screen, both the touch screen and control board of the DP-173X-UHD can be customized according to customer needs. This product adopts 17.3" projected capacitive touch technology. In addition, the DP-173X-UHD has incorporated Atemitech's LumiBond solution.LumiBond is a technology solution developed by Atemitech that is designed to improve the usability of touch screens; it has been applied to touch monitors in various products, including the DP-173X-UHD. LumiBond maintains clear visibility of the screen even under strong ambient lighting, all without sacrificing brightness, contrast, and color saturation. The outstanding color display capability of this solution is mainly the result of two technologies: the first is Atemitech's exclusive low-power, high-brightness backlight module technology, which gives the UHD LCD display a brightness of up to 2000 nits (cd/m2) that can remain clearly visible even under direct sun lighting. The second technology eliminates the air gap between the LCD and touch screen, thereby greatly lowering visual interference and allowing more of the light generated by the backlight to emit, reducing the interference from ambient lighting.LumiBond also enables the DP-173X-UHD with mode-switch for operating the display with gloves and in the rain (since water also has conductive properties).In a low-temperature environment, humid air forms water droplets when it comes into contact with the relatively colder glass, and the droplets will be misinterpreted by the touch screen as fingertips. LumiBond can alter the sensitivity of the screen for operating in water, thereby reducing the possibility of malfunction. LumiBond also reduced the gap inside the display to maintain the temperature of the screen glass; this reduces the chance of cold air entering the display and allows the heat inside the device to be transferred to the touch screen surface, ensuring its normal operation.In addition, LumiBond applies a transparent resin layer to eliminate condensation between the touch screen and LCD layer. At the same time, it enhances the strength of the LCD panel and the touch module assembly, so that it can withstand large collisions, vibrations, and falling, while also maintaining stable operations in a wide temperature range of -30°C-85°C, making it very suitable for outdoor systems.With the popularization of smart systems, there are ever more functional requirements for touch monitors in systems operating in harsh environments, such as factory human-machine interface and process monitoring, vehicle mounting, automatic service machines, medical treatment, games, aerospace, energy, or oil extraction. Since stability, image rendering effects, and a convenient operation interface are all combined in the DP-173X-UHD, it can optimize both the user experience and the work efficiency of operators.Atemitech holds to its rich OEM & ODM experience, solves usage pain points for its clients, continues to introduce high tech, and pursues development of new technologies; with its own process technology as its core capability, Atemitech generates high added-value through design, processing, and manufacturing, providing complete solutions for its OEM & ODM customers.The Atemitech DP-173X-UHD industrial touch monitor.Comparison of light emission modes of the MiniLED Touch Monitor and LED lightbar Monitor.Comparison of LumiBond 2.0 Optical Bonding for Touch Displays and Non-Bonding.

Fusion Worldwide is expanding its footprint throughout EMEA with the opening of locations in Paris, France, and Udine, Italy.

Since the pandemic outbreak in 2020, enterprises around the globe have accelerated the trend of digital transformation to meet the challenges brought about by the changing business environment. Naturally, artificial intelligence has become the most critical technology for these enterprises. AI technology combined with data analysis can be used in manufacturing to achieve optimization of production lines and prediction of equipment health, as well as other goals, which have allowed for great strides on the road to smart manufacturing. Similarly, e-commerce operators can analyze consumer shopper behavior, which is then used to recommend the most suitable products to customers as they browse the web, which increases the rate at which they can close deals. The trend also applies to smart medical care—the medical care industry can use AI technology to perform medical 3D rendering, image optimization, and image diagnosis and analysis to help doctors identify potential lesions and provide patients with superior medical services.In addition, there is a strong demand in the market for AI workstations. Applications such as data science, rendering, and visual design are indispensable for AI servers; this includes developing AI/ML models, 3D simulation, advanced visual development, rendering, data science, professional visualization, professional video streaming, among others.In light of these trends, Chenbro Micom launched the SR113 4U Rackable Tower Server Chassis, installing up to 5 general-purpose graphical processing unit (GPGPU) cards matched with the proprietary motherboard, making it ideal for AI deep learning, Big data analysis, and AI applications in other fields. At the outset, the SR113 was designed to meet the needs of complex application scenarios. For that reason, in addition to supporting both vertical and rackable modes, it adopts a standard 4U height and slide rails that can be used with a cabinet, making maintenance of replacement of parts convenient for IT personnel. Therefore, the product is not only suitable for SMEs or units that have no immediate need for expansion, but when there is a demand for expansion in the future, it is also installable in the data centers or IDC server rooms of medium-to-large enterprises, without the added worry of wasting valuable cabinet space.One of the most significant features of the SR113 4U Rackable Tower Server Chassis is that it boasts the industries' most excellent flexibility and compatibility. First, it can use with Super Micro X12DPG/X11DPG and Tyan S7105 motherboards, supports 11 slots, and allows simultaneous installation of up to 5 GPGPU cards; the result is impressive AI computing power and big data processing and analysis power, all in a single server, meaning massive savings of valuable cabinet space. It goes without saying that if enterprises do not have such requirements, they can also choose a chassis that supports eight slots. When used with other standard ATX motherboards, 4 GPGPU cards can also be installed, with enough computing power for most projects. It is also worth mentioning that this chassis supports SSI EEB specification motherboards and allows the installation of up to 8 full-height PCI-E expansion cards.Looking to ensure the smooth operation of AI applications, Chenbro Micom has also added many thoughtful and practical designs to the SR113 4U Rackable Tower Server Chassis. The first is in the power supply: its 80+ platinum power supply supports Redundant CPRS specification, ensuring that the 5 GPGPU cards can maintain stable operation and reduce overall energy consumption while maintaining high energy conversion efficiency. If an enterprise chooses an 8-slot chassis, it can use a PS/2 interface power supply.Next, Chenbro Micom has also designed a comprehensive heat dissipation mechanism to support the stability of the operational processes on the AI server. Here, "comprehensive" means not just four high-speed fans inside the chassis to discharge hot air but can also install an external high-speed cooling fan on the back of the chassis.Last of the meticulously thoughtful designs is an exclusive GPGPU card retaining bracket, preventing unfortunate GPGPU card collisions during transportation. As for storage space, there are 2 x 5.25" brackets, 1 x 3.5" brackets, and two brackets that support 4 x 3.5" hot-swap.One more thing worth mentioning is that, in the face of frequent data leakages, Chenbro Micom also places greater emphasis on protection work; the SR113 chassis is specially equipped with a front bezel lock, supports key lock, and has a 3-wire intrusion switch and a Kensington security slot to prevent the unfortunate event of data theft.On increasing enterprise visibility and facilitating equipment management, Chenbro Micom also provides customized logo badge services, adding enterprise-specific identification logos in the front of the server; or, it can mark servers with different colors to make data center equipment management more convenient and more efficient.All in all, for enterprises looking to build HPC/AI training, deep learning, machine learning, 3D simulation and animation, scientific simulation and analysis, and big data analysis environments, the SR113 4U Rackable Tower Server Chassis is, without doubt, an option that shouldn't be overlooked.

Displays are the last mile for communication between human and machine. In recent years, a wave of smart digitization has taken global industries by storm, as companies in the vehicle, retail, manufacturing, and medical industries have implemented all types of equipment to meet demands in their respective fields. However, specifications of displays used in existing terminal sectors may not match backend computing equipment.The mismatch may cause users to spend more time to obtain information. In severe cases, it may even lead to misinformation and undermine system agility, causing performance to fall below expectations. To solve this, ADLINK has recently proposed the concept of "Edge Visualization" and offered a series of solutions to help system integrators, solution architects, and developers from different sectors build optimized visualization platforms.Antony Wu, Senior Director of the Industrial Display & Systems Business Center at ADLINK, explained, "Edge Visualization integrates two main architectures: edge computing and visualization to build a smart digital system that is effective and can meet users' demands."He further pointed out that edge computing is a new architecture derived from the recent wave of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology. This architecture gives computing ability to edge equipment, lowering bandwidth requirements and system latency, increasing overall system performance, and therefore avoiding slow system responsiveness associated with centralized computing architectures.While possessing sufficient computing capabilities, edge equipment must also have data visualization functions to help users accurately grasp computing results and optimize management performance.By observing current industry developments, it is clear that edge computing and display technologies are mature. Mr. Wu stated that while the integration of displays and computing equipment looks simple, smart applications are still very fragmented and requirements for visualization and computing capabilities differ by industry. Furthermore, arbitrary combinations of these two major technologies without in-depth expertise may prove unsatisfactory for end users.Taking the healthcare industry as an example, Mr. Wu mentioned that in the era of smart healthcare, hospitals have deployed many types of equipment with displays that present vastly different content based on different application scenarios.For instance, payment kiosks mostly display healthcare items and prices. Self-registration kiosks are operated by users, so they contain fewer multimedia contents; however, they must provide agile and durable touch-screen operations. Medical imaging systems such as X-ray or CT scans put a high premium on image quality which is key to providing doctors with accurate information. For this reason, users of such systems may require maximized display dimensions, resolution, and color saturation.Due to the varying display requirements of equipment, excessively high or low specifications will result in misspent equipment costs or wasted computing equipment performance, leading to poor system benefits.However, integrating displays and edge computing equipment is no simple task. Mr. Wu pointed out that both displays and computing equipment need extremely specific expertise and without dedicated teams working in tandem to gain an in-depth understanding of terminal application scenarios, massive time and costs will be squandered in testing for displays and computing equipment to complement each other.The strategic alliance between ADLINK and AU Optronics allows both parties to work very closely in technical aspects. ADLINK has a solid technical foundation in the fields of edge computing and AI through many years of developing industrial computers. On the other hand, AU Optronics is a world-renowned panel manufacturer that has transformed into a visualization solution provider in recent years, with an excellent grasp of the requirements in various fields for vertical applications. By complementing each other's capabilities, both companies can assist system integrators, solution architects, and developers in building the most suitable edge visualization platforms.Mr. Wu said that ADLINK has had several successful cases in edge visualization solutions, he most representative being a recent project to design voting machines in the U.S. and logistics equipment in Germany.The voting machine, commissioned by a U.S. client, must meet extremely high reliability and security requirements, and must enable identity verification and network connectivity, so that any incident that may occur during voting can be immediately reported to poll workers or handled by law enforcement agencies.As for the logistics equipment in Germany, the solution was applied to refrigerated warehouses, allowing managers to instantly grasp the temperature, humidity, and pressure of refrigerated warehouses through a control panel. This facilitated the immediate handling of temperature loss or gas leak issues during storage or transport.Mr. Wu pointed out that edge visualization solutions have a broad range of applications with initial applications in four major fields: smart transportation, smart healthcare, smart enterprise, and smart manufacturing. ADLINK hopes to combine its professional edge computing technology with AU Optronics' technical advantages in displays to help system integrators, solution architects, and developers build platforms with advanced computing performance and excellent visualization capabilities that satisfy the demands of specific users in the field of smart digitalization.

Suzhou-based professional thermal module maker, Jieqiao Electronics Technology, announces it has reached a formal technology license agreement with NeoGene Tech to adopt MagicWick-Inside Technology Platform for designing and fabricating ultra-thin vapor chamber products. By adopting such novel technology, Jieqiao is able to build Print Wick Structuring (PWS) production line in their Kunshan plant for making a series of ultra-thin vapor chamber devices with thickness ranging from 0.3max to 0.2max.NeoGene Tech, a vapor chamber technology platform and materials provider in Guangzhou, China has been devoted to revolutionizing the way of designing and fabricating ultra-thin vapor chambers devices for 5G mobile computing applications for years. NeoGene Tech's MagicWick-Inside Technology Platform along with PWS approach categorizes the ultra-thin vapor chamber technology into three levels. The technology license program will be enabling Jieqiao to produce high-quality ultra-thin vapor chamber products by the technology from Level 1 to Level 3."Although the thickness of current ultra-thin vapor chamber at above 0.3max can be made by traditional copper mesh wick structuring technology, PWS technology has an obvious advantage to make the VC devices at higher performance and higher production yield rate. Furthermore, most smartphone brands are pursuing thinner (<0.25max) and bigger (>5000mm2) vapor chamber devices technology for fitting new thermal management needs in their new product models. The traditional copper mesh approach will be encountering more difficult issues once the device thickness is lower than 0.25max, not to mention the device area is bigger than 5000mm2. The space for wick structure and vapor channel is too narrowed to deploy in production. As a result, the PWS approach is the best solution for vapor chamber makers to overcome such problem and it is also a very economical way for mass production," according to Jeffrey Chen, CEO of NeoGene Tech."Thanks to MagicWick-Inside Platform and PWS approach, it empowers Jieqiao to quickly move into mass production in high performance and high-end vapor chamber devices market. Our flow channel design capability and PWS production line for MagicWick-Inside VC will be ready for mass production in Q2, 2022. By adopting Level-1 to Level-3 technologies, the high-performance vapor chamber with thickness at over 0.3mm or the vapor chamber at under 0.25max and size at over 5000mm2 can be delivered to market accordingly. The production of MagicWick-Inside VC with a large area and a thickness of only 0.22max will be our strength," said Ricky Liu, Chairman and CEO of Jieqiao."Jieqiao is the first local thermal module company in China adopting PWS solution for ultra-thin vapor chamber fabrication. We are more than happy to have Jiequao adopt MagicWick-Inside Platform and PWS approach. So far in great China territory, we already have Taiwan-based and China local-based vapor chamber makers licensed our patented technology. The PWS approach has also been adopted in vapor chamber production lines. We are seeing that more and more vapor chamber makers will join and be benefited from this platform and technology soon. NeoGene Tech's mission is to continuously work with 5G smartphone brands to promote and refine the design and fabrication of ultra-thin vapor chamber devices in thermal management technology," said Jeffrey Chen, CEO of NeoGene Tech.Jieqiao reaches MagicWick-Inside Platform license agreement with NeoGene Tech
