Choosing the Right Industrial Box PC — FAQ
How to select the right BITECH AX-Series model for your application.
For AGV/AMR platforms, the AX-660EBT is the primary choice — it combines a 12th Gen Core i5, dual isolated CAN 2.0B, 9–36V wide input, and a PCIe x4 slot for a GPU or AI accelerator for onboard perception. If you only need CAN-based motion control without GPU compute, the AX-130BT or AX-134BT (both with CAN FD) are more compact, cost-effective options. See our AMR controller solution →
For multi-camera machine vision, the AX-320BT is purpose-built — it offers 8x 2.5GbE LAN ports for high-bandwidth camera aggregation and network segmentation. If your vision pipeline needs on-device AI inference, the AX-660EBT adds a PCIe x4 slot for a GPU or Hailo-8 accelerator alongside dual 2.5GbE.
It depends on the cards you need to run. Choose the AX-530EBT for maximum legacy capacity (3x PCI + 1x PCIe x4). Choose the AX-520EBT for a smaller migration (2x PCI, or 1x PCIe x1 + 1x PCIe x4). Choose the AX-660EBT when you need a modern 12th Gen CPU with a PCIe x4 slot for a GPU or AI accelerator rather than legacy PCI cards.
For protocol translation and OPC UA / MQTT gateways, the AX-234BT is designed for dual-channel data aggregation. For higher network-port density — bridging many Ethernet segments or building an industrial firewall — the AX-320BT with 8x 2.5GbE is the stronger fit.
The AX-422HBT is the cost-effective choice for HMI and visualization, with HDMI 2.1 + DisplayPort + USB-C driving triple 4K displays from a compact fanless chassis. For space-constrained cabinets needing CAN FD control rather than multi-display, the AX-130BT is more compact.
Isolated CAN and RS232/422/485 are available across the AX-Series, though the exact configuration varies by model. Isolation level and port count can be specified at the project level for OEM builds. How interface isolation works →
Yes. The AX-Series uses a modular mainboard architecture that lets you carry a design across Intel CPU generations without changing the validated enclosure or I/O layout. This protects your integration and certification work against component end-of-life. See our lifecycle management →
Every AX-Series Box PC is backed by a 10-year availability lifecycle with formal PCN/EOL management. As an OEM/ODM manufacturer, BITECH customizes down to PCB level — I/O layout, isolation, slot configuration, OS/BSP imaging, and branding — with batch deployment supported from low MOQ.
