AAEON MEX-BTS 12th, 13th & 14th Gen Intel Core Rugged Computer with MXM Expansion
As industrial and AI workloads continue to push performance boundaries, edge computing platforms must deliver desktop-class power in environments where reliability is non-negotiable. The AAEON MEX-BTS Rugged Computer is purpose-built to meet this challenge, combining the latest 12th, 13th and 14th Generation Intel Core processors with MXM 3.1 Type A and B GPU support in a robust industrial chassis.
Designed for demanding edge AI, machine vision and high-throughput data processing applications, the MEX-BTS offers exceptional computing density, flexible expansion and industrial-grade connectivity — making it an ideal solution for advanced embedded systems.
Next-Generation Processing for Rugged Edge Computing
At the heart of the AAEON MEX-BTS is support for Intel Core and Series 2 processors, delivering up to 65W CPU performance. Leveraging Intel’s hybrid architecture, these processors combine high-performance cores and efficiency cores to optimise multitasking, real-time workloads and AI inference at the edge.
Paired with dual-channel DDR5 5200MHz memory, the system supports up to 64GB RAM, ensuring smooth operation for compute-intensive industrial applications such as real-time analytics, automation control and vision processing.
MXM GPU Expansion for AI and Graphics Acceleration
A key strength of the MEX-BTS is its MXM 3.1 Type A and Type B module support, allowing integration of high-performance discrete GPUs with up to 120W Total Graphics Power (TGP). This makes the system ideal for applications requiring GPU acceleration, including deep learning inference, image recognition and video analytics.
With flexible GPU options, system integrators can tailor performance to suit specific workloads while maintaining a compact, ruggedised form factor.
Advanced Display, Networking and I/O Connectivity
The AAEON MEX-BTS is engineered for data-rich environments, offering extensive I/O and display capabilities:
