A Game-Changer for Industrial Automation in ASEAN Countries \\[8pt] The introduction of congatec's new COM-HPC Client Size C module, the conga-HPC/cRX1, marks a significant step forward for industrial automation in Southeast Asia. This powerful module, based on AMD Ryzen AI Embedded X100 Series processors, is designed to handle compute-intensive physical AI applications, making it an ideal solution for factories in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia that are looking to enhance their production processes with cutting-edge technology. \\[8pt] ## Advanced Capabilities for Diverse Applications \\[8pt] The conga-HPC/cRX1 supports up to 16 Zen 5 cores, providing robust processing power for real-time control, sensor fusion, planning, and decision-making. It also features up to 40 compute units of integrated AMD Radeon RDNA 3.5 graphics, which can deliver up to 59 TOPS of dense INT8 AI inference performance and 29.7 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from robotics and autonomous vehicles to medical technology and industrial automation. \\[8pt] For factories in Thailand, this means enhanced precision and reliability in manufacturing processes, particularly in industries like automotive and electronics. In Vietnam, where the focus is often on textile and garment production, the module can improve quality control and reduce waste. In Indonesia, the module can support the growing demand for smart agriculture, enabling more efficient and sustainable farming practices. In Malaysia, the module can be used in the semiconductor industry to boost productivity and accuracy in chip manufacturing. \\[8pt] ## Robust and Reliable Performance \\[8pt] The module is designed to operate in harsh industrial environments, with a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. This ensures that it can withstand the demanding conditions found in many Southeast Asian factories. Additionally, the module supports up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory, which enhances data sharing between compute engines and supports GPGPU workloads. Optional on-board NVMe storage up to 512 GB is available for local data storage and fast access. \\[8pt] The conga-HPC/cRX1 also provides up to 24 PCIe Gen4 lanes for expansion, allowing for the addition of devices such as industrial Ethernet interfaces, fieldbus adapters, or wireless communication modules. This flexibility makes it easy to integrate the module into existing factory systems, ensuring seamless operation and minimal downtime. \\[8pt] ## Security and Support for Long-Term Use \\[8pt] Developed in accordance with IEC 62443-4-1, the module includes TPM 2.0 security, supporting OEM cybersecurity planning. It also comes with AMD ROCm open-source software support for AI and high-performance computing workloads. The module supports Microsoft Windows 11, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, and Linux, and can be supplied preconfigured with licensed operating systems like ctrlX OS, Ubuntu Pro, or KontronOS. \\[8pt] For IIoT connectivity, congatec offers aReady.IOT software building blocks, including conga-connect for data exchange, remote maintenance, and management of the module, carrier boards, and peripherals. The supporting ecosystem includes evaluation and application carrier boards, cooling options, documentation, design-in services, and high-speed signal integrity measurements. With aReady.YOURS, OEMs can request hardware and software customization services, including cooling solutions. \\[8pt] ## Conclusion: A Smart Investment for Future-Proofing Your Factory \\[8pt] The conga-HPC/cRX1 is a versatile and powerful solution that can significantly enhance the capabilities of factories in ASEAN countries. By integrating this module, manufacturers can achieve higher levels of automation, efficiency, and reliability, positioning themselves for long-term success in a competitive global market. Whether you are in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, or Malaysia, the conga-HPC/cRX1 is a smart investment for future-proofing your factory.
