IN Brief:
- The ASB110-PI900 integrates an Intel Core Ultra 5 125U or Ultra 7 155U processor on a PICO-ITX board.
- Hardware includes up to 48 GB DDR5-5600, three USB 3.2 connections, 2.5Gb Ethernet, and two M.2 sockets.
- The enclosure supports industrial mounting, with a stated 0–55°C operating range requiring specified airflow.
IBASE Technology has introduced the ASB110-PI900, a compact industrial computer built around its PI900F PICO-ITX board and Intel Core Ultra 100U series processors. Measuring 140 × 95 × 60 mm, the box PC is intended for space-constrained equipment that needs local computation, sensor connections, or AI inference without routing every input to a remote server.
Two configurations are listed, using the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U or Core Ultra 7 155U. The hardware is based on an industrial compact board with a processor thermal design power listed at 15 W and one DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM slot, supporting up to 48 GB of memory. The actual processing capacity depends on the selected CPU, application software, memory provision, and the cooling available in the installed enclosure.
The front panel combines HDMI with DisplayPort over USB Type-C for display output. Three USB 3.2 ports provide peripheral connections, and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port supports wired communication. These interfaces allow the same computer to drive an industrial display while receiving data from sensors or camera modules through suitably supported devices. The effective throughput of a complete inspection or analytics installation will depend on device drivers, competing bus traffic and the software workload.
The enclosure also exposes two M.2 expansion positions with different roles. An E-key 2230 socket supports a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module, while an M-key 2280 socket accepts NVMe or SATA solid-state storage. Separating wireless expansion from local mass storage gives system builders options for communication and data buffering, with memory and storage sized to the operating environment.
A 12 V DC input supplies the enclosure, with a 120 W external adaptor listed as an option rather than a mandatory included item. Optional TPM 2.0 support gives builders a hardware-related security feature to configure alongside operating-system controls. Wall and desktop mounting are supported, while DIN-rail installation uses an optional fitting. Each arrangement needs allowance for connectors, cabling and the air movement required by the installed system.
IBASE specifies an operating range of 0°C to 55°C only with 0.9 m/s airflow. Its 15 W processor thermal design power is not a guarantee that the entire computer will dissipate only 15 W, nor that the stated temperature range applies inside an unventilated cabinet. Sustained CPU or AI workloads, attached peripherals and the local ambient temperature all contribute to thermal conditions. Cabinet ventilation therefore needs to be considered together with the manufacturer’s stated operating limit.
The steel enclosure measures 140 × 95 × 60 mm and weighs approximately 1.2 kg. IBASE lists operating vibration of 1 Grms across 3–500 Hz and operating shock of 20 G for 11 ms. Those ratings help describe the platform’s specified mechanical environment, although fastener design and cable retention still affect how loads reach the computer once it is mounted on a machine or within a kiosk.
For kiosk installations, HDMI and USB connections can serve the display and interaction devices while the processor handles local application logic. Industrial systems can use the wired network and peripheral interfaces for data acquisition and edge analysis. Core Ultra processors offer CPU and integrated acceleration resources, but AI performance depends on the deployed model, runtime and processor configuration. Measured inference throughput will depend on the supported software stack, processing configuration and thermal operating conditions.
The two orderable configurations are listed without memory or SSD, leaving the integrator to choose a DDR5 module and local storage. Wireless modules, the power adaptor and some mounting accessories are also selected separately. IBASE lists CE/LVD and FCC Class B certification in its specification, along with shock and vibration figures. The resulting bill of materials should therefore be checked against the actual product configuration rather than assuming every listed option is factory installed.
The ASB110-PI900 is available with either the Core Ultra 5 125U or Core Ultra 7 155U processor. Integrators can compare those models against their application workload, memory needs and available thermal margin while keeping the same compact enclosure dimensions. The limits that will determine suitability are the supported peripheral mix, storage provision, cabinet airflow and the sustained compute load, rather than the palm-sized format alone.
