Advantech Australia has announced an alliance with Inductive Automation to introduce a series of panel PCs and fanless embedded box PCs with Ignition Edge software pre-installed.

The integration of industrial-grade hardware with the software aims to provide complete, pre-configured solutions suitable for most industrial applications, and is designed to minimise lead times and to accelerate and simplify deployment.

There are six pre-configured industrial-grade panel PCs (10.4 to 21.5″) and five box PCs (from palm-size to full-size) with varying configurations, which aim to provide users with flexibility and speed in choosing optimal systems suited for small to large Ignition projects.

Engineered for industrial environments, the Advantech solutions are designed for edge IIoT, HMI, small- to large-scale SCADA systems, MES systems and other mission-critical automation applications.

On the software side, Ignition Edge is designed to make digital transformation and edge computing easier and more affordable with unlimited tags and device connections and cross-platform compatibility.

The pre-configured systems are verified for compatibility and come pre-installed with Ignition Edge by Advantech CTOS, and they are configured locally in Australia, so that local users receive a ready-to-deploy unit, minimising testing and installation time.

Ignition and Ignition Edge licences must be purchased separately to activate the software on Ignition Ready and Ignition Edge Ready systems. The software will also be available on all Advantech edge platforms, depending on requirements.
