Which iBASE Box PCs Won Embedded World Best in Show?
May 20, 2026
Two iBASE embedded box PCs have won Best in Show at Embedded World: the ACS313 in 2026, when Embedded Computing Design gave it the Embedded World Best in Show Award, and the AMI240 in 2024. The award recognizes embedded products that represent forward-looking, practical technology. Both are compact, industrial systems for edge computing, and we supply and support them from Ronkonkoma, New York.
What does the ACS313 offer?
The ACS313 is a fanless, compact and expandable system for edge AI and industrial applications, built on 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i7, i5, i3 or U300E processors with DDR5-5200 memory. It suits machine vision, intelligent automation, edge data processing and AI-supported analytics on site.
- Up to four independent displays, over HDMI, two DisplayPort++ and two USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alternate Mode.
- Six USB 3.2 ports, and four internal M.2 slots for storage, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and 4G or 5G with dual Nano-SIM.
- DIN rail and wall mounting for tight spaces in existing installations.
- Protection against overvoltage, undervoltage and reverse polarity, TPM 2.0, and isolated COM ports.
- A removable tray for a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD, for quick storage replacement.
What does the AMI240 offer?
The AMI240 runs several operating systems at once. It is a fanless edge computing box PC with 13th or 14th Gen Intel® Core™ desktop processors, and Intel® SR-IOV technology lets it run up to six operating systems simultaneously, such as Windows 10 and 11, Android and Ubuntu. SR-IOV partitions the system into virtual devices with separate resources, so one box can serve different purposes, and developers can work across platforms while saving cost and energy. That suits remote monitoring and autonomous systems, where software complexity keeps growing.
It has four RJ45 Ethernet ports, including dual 2.5GbE and two PoE+, support for Sierra 5G modules with dual SIM slots for 5G, 4G or LTE, up to 64 GB of DDR5 in two modules, multiple M.2 slots, AMT, TPM 2.0 and PCIe expansion. A 24 V DC input with overvoltage, undervoltage and reverse-voltage protection and a -20 to +70°C operating range suit it to harsh environments.
What about the EC-3200 AI box PC?
The iBASE EC-3200, an early fanless AI box PC on the NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2, is discontinued. For current GPU-based edge AI, see our post on NVIDIA Jetson Thor, and for boards that run inference on an integrated NPU, embedded boards with NPU or AI acceleration.
Which box PC fits your system?
Choose the ACS313 for compact, expandable edge AI and automation with many displays, and the AMI240 for consolidating several operating systems and networks on one device. Our full range is on the box PCs page, and our post on the BoxPC PRO with V-by-One and eDP covers box PCs that drive a display directly. Tell us what the system has to run and where, and we will take it from there, including the display, touch and power around it, drawing on the FORTEC Group where needed. When a system receives an EOL notice, we tell you early and plan with you: a last-time buy to cover remaining builds, or qualifying a replacement before supply runs out.
