Advantech Launches Reliable Battery-Backup IPC for Uninterrupted Operation
2025-07-21
Taipei, July 21, 2025 – Advantech (TWSE: 2395), a global leader in industrial IoT, announces the launch of its new reliable battery-backup IPC—the IPC-610LMB-40BEA1—for semiconductor equipment manufacturing. In semiconductor production lines where maximum uptime is critical, even brief power outages can result in data loss or process disruption.
Advantech’s new reliable battery-backup IPC system integrates an IPC-610L chassis, a backup battery, and a built-in power supply unit (PSU), not only providing up to six minutes of safe shutdown period but also ensuring uninterrupted IPC operation during short voltage sags caused by the booting up of high power machinery. This solution replaces traditional IPC and UPS setups, saving space, simplifying system integration, and reducing certification efforts. Its built-in NiMH battery complies with air and sea transport regulations, and the system meets UL, CE, and other major safety standards, ensuring reliability and peace of mind for industrial users.
6-Minute Power Buffer Enables Safe Shutdown and Uninterrupted Operation
In semiconductor machine and FAB (Semiconductor Fabrication Plant) manufacture line, unexpected power interruptions can lead to process anomalies, wafer loss, and extended downtime. This solution integrates a backup battery that provides up to six minutes of auxiliary power, allowing the system to shut down properly. During this buffer period, the system can perform critical tasks such as adjusting recipes, completing ongoing process steps, and securely storing production data. This capability helps minimize disruptions and significantly reduces the risk of data loss and equipment recalibration.
Additionally, the system is designed to withstand short voltage sags caused by the boot-up of high-power machinery, automatically switching to backup battery power to ensure uninterrupted IPC operation extremely suitable in FAB level IT/OT systems such as AOI stations, MES gateways, and tool monitoring servers
Certified, Space-Saving Alternative to Traditional UPS for Industrial Applications
The IPC-610LMB-40BEA1 solution features a built-in NiMH battery that occupies only a single 5.25-inch drive bay and is generally classified as non-hazardous or low-risk for transportation. Its 400W power supply supports the needs of most industrial control applications. Fully certified with UL, CCC, CE, and FCC, the IPC-610LMB-40BEA1 helps reduce both the time and cost required for safety verification. In addition, fully compatible with the IPC-610L chassis, this all-in-one backup power solution replaces the need for external UPS units.
Strengthening SEMICON Solutions with Integrated IPC and Components
As a global leader in industrial computing, Advantech continues to expand its presence in the semiconductor equipment and FAB system integrator by providing integrated IPC platforms combined with reliable components solutions. These systems offer stable performance, reliable design, and certifications that meet the demands of the semiconductor industry.
Advantech’s solutions help simplify system integration and reduce operational risks by supporting controlled shutdowns and data protection during power interruptions. With continuous focus on development and customer needs, Advantech has been dedicated to uninterrupted operation in semiconductor equipment and fab system integrator to improve production efficiency and maintaining system stability.
