In the rapidly evolving world of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and smart warehouse automation, the computing backbone must deliver more than just raw processing power. It must operate reliably in confined spaces, withstand harsh industrial environments, and support the diverse I/O requirements of modern robotics systems.
Enter the Partaker I37 – a compact, fanless industrial mini PC engineered specifically for AGV/AMR deployments, factory automation, and edge computing applications.
Unmatched Performance in a Compact Form Factor
The Partaker I37 redefines what’s possible in a space-constrained industrial controller. Measuring just 172mm × 136mm × 50mm and weighing only 1.45kg, this embedded PC delivers workstation-class performance in a footprint smaller than an A4 sheet of paper.
At its heart, the I37 features 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake-U processors – available in Core i5-1235U and i7-1255U configurations. With 10 cores and 12 threads and a turbo frequency up to 4.7GHz, it handles path planning, machine vision, and multi-tasking workloads with ease.
The system supports dual DDR5 4800MHz SODIMM slots up to 64GB, ensuring ample memory for even the most demanding robotics applications. The all-aluminum chassis provides superior heat dissipation, while the optional fanless design makes it ideal for dusty, oily, or vibration-prone environments.
Industrial-Grade Reliability for 24/7 Operation
When your AGV or AMR fleet runs around the clock, downtime is not an option. The Partaker I37 is built for continuous operation with features that ensure system stability in the harshest conditions:
-
Wide operating temperature range: -20°C to +60°C (industrial SSD)
-
Wide voltage input: DC 12V–24V, compatible with various mobile chassis power systems
-
Hardware watchdog: Automatically resets the system in case of anomalies
-
TPM 2.0 security chip + AMT remote management for data protection and operational security
Rich I/O for AGV, AMR & Service Robots
The Partaker I37 stands out with its comprehensive industrial I/O portfolio, specifically selected for mobile robotics applications:
| Interface | Specification | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Gigabit Ethernet | 4 ports (LAN1 supports vPro/AMT; LAN3/LAN4 use industrial I210-AT chips) | Multi-camera, LiDAR, fleet communication |
| USB 3.0 | 6 ports (2 with reverse-flow protection) | Barcode scanners, touchscreens, storage |
| Isolated RS485 | 2 ports (surge protection) | Motor drives, sensors, buzzers |
| Isolated GPIO | 8 channels (9-24V) | Emergency stop, positioning signals, alarm outputs |
| Optional CAN | 2 isolated CAN ports | Vehicle control bus |
| Display Output | 2Ă— DP (with locking connector) | Multi-screen display and debugging |
This rich interface set makes the I37 ideal for integrating with LiDAR, cameras, motor controllers, and fleet management systems in a single compact unit.
Flexible Expansion Capabilities
The Partaker I37 doesn’t stop at on-board I/O. It offers extensive expansion options for future-proofing your deployment:
-
M.2 slots: Support NVMe SSD and 4G/5G modules
-
Mini PCIe slots: Accommodate additional industrial communication cards
-
Internal USB 2.0 & non-isolated GPIO: Reserved for secondary development and customization
This modular approach ensures the I37 can adapt as your application evolves, without requiring a complete hardware redesign.
Why the Partaker I37 Stands Out
In a market crowded with generic industrial PCs, the Partaker I37 is purpose-built for mobile robotics. Key differentiators include:
-
True fanless operation: No moving parts means no dust ingress, no fan failure, and silent operation – critical for customer-facing service robots and clean environments.
-
Compact yet powerful: Delivers 12th Gen Intel Core performance in a footprint that fits tight robotic enclosures.
-
Industrial-grade components: Isolated I/O, wide temperature range, and surge protection ensure reliable operation in demanding factory and warehouse environments.
-
Proven reliability: Partaker’s industrial PCs are trusted in manufacturing, automation, IoT, logistics, machine vision, and medical applications worldwide.
Conclusion
The Partaker I37 isn’t just another industrial computer – it’s a thoughtfully engineered embedded controller that addresses the specific challenges of AGV, AMR, and industrial automation deployments. From its compact all-aluminum chassis and fanless cooling to its rich industrial I/O and robust expansion capabilities, every aspect of the I37 is designed for reliable, long-term operation in demanding mobile robotics applications.
Whether you’re building autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, or smart factory automation systems, the Partaker I37 delivers the performance, connectivity, and reliability you need – all in a package that fits where others can’t.
