ASUS IoT has announced the release of the R680EA-IM-Z, a high-performance industrial ATX motherboard designed to support AI-powered applications in sectors such as manufacturing, robotics and medical imaging. Featuring 14th Gen Intel Core processors, the new motherboard offers up to 21% faster CPU performance, enabling more efficient handling of advanced machine vision and real-time data processing.
The R680EA-IM-Z is built for use in demanding environments that require both high computing performance and long-term reliability. Its combination of thermal management, robust construction and remote monitoring capabilities is aimed at reducing downtime in industrial settings.
Designed for heavy AI and data workloads
The R680EA-IM-Z is tailored for intensive AI workloads and supports high-resolution image processing and complex algorithms used in automation and robotics. With improved responsiveness and support for real-time analysis, it enables more efficient and accurate decision-making at the edge.
The enhanced CPU performance, powered by 14th Gen Intel Core processors, provides a significant boost in processing power, making it suitable for AI-enabled applications such as intelligent surveillance, robotic control and medical diagnostics.
Built to withstand harsh conditions
The motherboard meets MIL-STD 810H standards, offering 3.6 times the durability of conventional motherboards. It operates reliably within a temperature range of -10 to 70°C and incorporates hardware features designed to resist shocks and vibrations. Reinforced DIMM locks and PCIe slot holders further enhance mechanical stability in rugged environments.
The R680EA-IM-Z also uses a gold-immersion PCB and integrates effective thermal solutions, including heatsinks for the VRM and M.2 slots, to support long-term usage in extreme industrial conditions.
Focused on system uptime and remote recovery
To reduce downtime, ASUS IoT has equipped the motherboard with Watchdog Timer 2.0, which provides multi-level automated recovery. This is supported by out-of-band remote management tools that allow secure system access even when the operating system or hardware encounters issues.
These features are designed to reduce the need for on-site servicing, making the R680EA-IM-Z a reliable choice for OEMs and system integrators deploying mission-critical infrastructure.
The R680EA-IM-Z delivers exceptional computing performance and rock-solid durability, making it ideal for machine vision, robotics and other edge-AI applications. The new motherboard is now available for deployment across a range of industries requiring robust, high-availability computing systems.
