Advantech Launches UTC-515IT with IP66/69K-Rated Stainless Steel Enclosure for Harsh Industrial Environments

Taipei, Taiwan, August 2023 – Advantech, a leading provider of embedded platform solutions, has announced the release of its newest addition to the robust UTC-500 all-in-one touch computer series: the UTC-515IT. This 15.6-inch all-in-one system is tailored for harsh environments and boasts all-around IP66/69K-rated ingress protection with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing. Outfiffted with M12 I/O connectors, the UTC-515IT offers a watertight solution that can withstand the most demanding applications.  The UTC-515IT features an 11th Gen Intel® i5-1145G7E processor that offers up to 19% improved energy efficiency over its 10th Gen predecessors and supports vPro for easy remote management with DDR4-3200 memory up to 64 GB. With integrated Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, the UTC-515IT expedites graphics performance, making it an ideal choice for visually-intensive tasks. Designed for mission-critical industrial applications, this durable, all-in-one computer can work 24/7 under a wide range of operating temperatures (-10 ~ 50°C / 14 ~ 122°F), and supports a wide input voltage range (12 ~ 32V). Its 15.6-inch 16:9 widescreen monitor can display landscape or portrait content, and can also supports multiple operating systems, including Windows and Linux, further increasing overall compatibility and flexibility. Moreover, the system can be integrated with optional camera modules, light sensors, and a waterproof Wi-Fi receiver for a cable-free connection to extend functionality for diverse applications. This expandable design offers enhanced operation for various uses, including food processing automation, pharmaceutical factory automation, bottling and packing factory automation, semi-outdoor self-service touchscreen interface in leisure and sports venues, and herd management control panels.

Robust touch computer with full IP66/69K-rated protection

Advantech’s UTC-515IT is built to provide a tough high-performance touch computer that can be deployed in harsh industrial environments. To ensure optimal operation under extreme conditions, the corrosion-resistant stainless steel enclosure is IP66/69K-rated for resistance to water and dust ingress, providing robust protection under exposure to chemicals or bad weather. Like other UTC series products, UTC-515IT also features a low-power, fanless design for superior energy efficiency, quiet operation, and an extended product lifecycle.

M12 connectors ensure a waterproof industrial solution

The UTC-515IT system’s I/O ports are equipped with M12 connectors for industrial applications requiring a reliable waterproof computing system. The advantages of M12 connectors for industrial cabling include easy assembly, compact size, and secure connection even under shock or vibration. With M12 connectors, the UTC-515IT is an industrial-grade touch computer that can be quickly deployed, tested, and maintained.

Wide operating temperature and input voltage for factory environments

Unlike consumer-grade all-in-one units, this versatile, all-in-one computer supports a wide variety operating temperatures ranging from -10 ~ 50°C (14 ~ 122°F) to ensure stable operation and reliable performance under extreme temperature variations. Combined with the wide input voltage range (12 ~ 32V), this allows switching between power sources without converters, making the UTC-515IT66/69K ideal for factory environments.
