Next-Generation Edge Intelligence

C&T Solution has once again set a new standard for industrial computing with its latest release: the BCO-500-MTL Series. Building on the successful BCO-500 range of semi-rugged mini industrial computers, this new generation incorporates Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 1 architecture, AI acceleration and enhanced graphics in a compact, fanless design, making it ideal for today’s challenging edge deployments.

Compact Powerhouse for AI and Edge Applications

At the heart of the BCO-500-MTL is an Intel® Core™ Ultra processor (Meteor Lake-U), which is paired with an Intel® Arc™ GPU and Intel® AI Boost NPU. This combination delivers up to 11 TOPS of AI performance, making the system ideal for computationally intensive workloads:

• Real-time machine vision and inspection
• Predictive maintenance
• Smart manufacturing and robotics
• Intelligent transportation systems
• Digital signage and retail analytics

Designed for Reliability in Harsh Environments

True to C&T’s industrial DNA, the BCO-500-MTL features a fanless, semi-rugged aluminium housing that enables silent, dust-resistant operation. It can withstand temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +60 °C, vibrations of up to 5 Grms and shocks of up to 50 G, meeting MIL-STD-810G standards. This compact unit (225 × 130 × 48 mm, 2 kg) can be easily mounted on a wall, VESA bracket or optional DIN rail and adapted to factory floors, vehicles or control cabinets.

Flexible Connectivity for Industrial Integration

The BCO-500-MTL is defined by its versatility. Equipped with three Intel 2.5 GbE LAN ports, dual DisplayPort 1.4 outputs and multiple USB 3.2/Type-C interfaces, it can connect sensors, displays and network devices seamlessly. Expansion options include:

• M.2 M-Key (PCIe Gen 4 x4 / SATA) for NVMe storage
• M.2 B-Key for 4G / 5G connectivity or additional NVMe
• M.2 E-Key for Wi-Fi / Bluetooth
• SIM socket for mobile network operation

Developers can rely on long-term stability and flexibility, with support for Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Secure, Efficient and Future-Proof

Security and manageability are built in. The BCO-500-MTL supports dTPM 2.0, Intel vPro®/iAMT and software-programmable watchdog timers to protect the system. Its wide-range 12–24 V DC input, which features over-voltage, over-current and reverse protection, ensures stable operation in industrial power environments.
