AX-234BT Fanless Industrial Edge Computer overview
A Compute-Class Edge Platform — Not Just a Gateway
AX-234BT is built around the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1345U (Raptor Lake-U, 10 cores / 12 threads, 12 MB L3, up to 4.7 GHz Turbo, 15 W base power/up to 55w max turbo power,configuratble ) paired with dual-channel DDR5-5200 and PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe storage. This configuration places it firmly in the edge computer class — capable of running OpenVINO™-optimized vision models, multi-camera AOI front-ends, real-time SCADA/MES edge nodes, and on-device industrial assistants.
Beyond raw compute, AX-234BT integrates the protocol breadth of an industrial gateway: dual 2.5 GbE (one with Intel® AMT for out-of-band management), CAN Bus, 2× full-RS-232/422/485 (expandable to 6), 4G/5G and Wi-Fi via M.2 B/E-Key sockets, plus HDMI 2.1 / Mini DP / LVDS for HMI integration. With discrete TPM 2.0, hardware watchdog, 9–36 V DC Phoenix-terminal input, and a unibody fanless aluminum chassis validated for PassMark 100 % load with no thermal throttling across -20°C +60°C, it is engineered for unattended, certified industrial deployment.

AX-234BT — Frequently Asked Questions
What processor does the BITECH AX-234BT use?
The BITECH AX-234BT runs the 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-1345U (Raptor Lake-U): a 10-core / 12-thread CPU (2 P-cores + 8 E-cores) with 12 MB L3 cache and up to 4.7 GHz turbo, at 15 W base / up to 55 W maximum turbo power (configurable). It is paired with dual-channel DDR5-5200 (up to 64 GB) and Intel® Iris® Xe graphics (80 EU).
Is the AX-234BT fanless, and what is its operating temperature range?
Yes — the AX-234BT is fully fanless, using an extruded aluminum unibody as a passive heatsink. It operates from -20°C to +60°C and is validated at 100% PassMark CPU/GPU load with no thermal throttling (storage range -40°C to +85°C). With no fan, there is no air intake to clog with dust in factory environments.
Can the AX-234BT run edge AI and OpenVINO™ vision without a discrete GPU?
Yes. The AX-234BT runs OpenVINO™-optimized vision and inference on its integrated Intel® Iris® Xe graphics (80 EU) with dual-channel DDR5-5200, handling multi-camera AOI and real-time object classification without a discrete GPU. For heavier workloads — multiple high-resolution LiDARs or several concurrent deep-learning camera streams — BITECH's discrete-GPU AX-422HBT is the better fit.
Does the AX-234BT support out-of-band remote management?
Yes. The AX-234BT's second LAN port (Intel® i226-LM, LAN2) supports Intel® AMT for out-of-band management — remote KVM, BIOS access, power cycling, and OS recovery that work even when the host OS is unresponsive. A discrete TPM 2.0 module and hardware watchdog further support unattended, 24/7 deployment.
What Ethernet ports does the AX-234BT have, and can it separate OT and IT networks?
The AX-234BT has two 2.5GbE ports on independent controllers: LAN1 (Intel® i219) and LAN2 (Intel® i226-LM with AMT). The two separate controllers let integrators keep OT traffic (machine control, vision) on one port and IT traffic (MES, remote service) on the other — on a single device, without an external switch.
What industrial I/O does the AX-234BT provide?
The AX-234BT provides 1× CAN 2.0A/B, 2× RS-232/422/485 (expandable to 6 via internal header), 8-bit GPIO, LPT and SPDIF, plus 3× USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A and 1× USB Type-C (USB + DP-Alt). Display outputs are HDMI 2.1 (4K@60Hz) and Mini DP 1.4b (4K@60Hz), with optional LVDS/eDP.
Is the AX-234BT suitable for AGV / AMR mobile robots?
Yes. The AX-234BT accepts DC 9–36 V wide input — covering 12 V and 24 V battery buses directly — via a locking Phoenix terminal, and is validated to 15 G / 11 ms shock and 1 Grms vibration (5–500 Hz). Its fanless, cable-less, jumper-less design removes the parts that typically fail under vehicle vibration, while CAN plus 4G/5G and Wi-Fi (M.2 B-Key and E-Key) cover motor/BMS communication and fleet connectivity.
What is the AX-234BT's product lifecycle and OEM/ODM minimum order quantity?
BITECH maintains the AX-234BT for a 10-year product lifecycle with formal Product Change Notification (PCN). Light customization — port layout, 4G/5G + Wi-Fi pre-integration, storage, branding, pre-loaded OS — is supported from MOQ 100 units, with NRE refundable at 2,000 units and roughly 1-3 Month lead time for standard light customization.
What operating systems and storage does the AX-234BT support?
The AX-234BT supports Windows 11 Pro and Ubuntu Linux with a validated BSP. Storage is triple-path: 1× M.2 M-Key 2280 (PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe) + 1× 2.5″ SATA + 1× Half-slim SSD — letting OS, data, and logging run on separate independent drives.
