Description
Coming soon: the ASRock Industrial Core Ultra 3 (Wildcat Lake) Mini-ITX Series, delivering next-generation Intel Core Ultra 3 performance for advanced industrial and edge computing applications.
The ASRock Industrial IMB-1254-WV is a compact and feature-rich Mini-ITX single board computer engineered for industrial automation, edge computing, intelligent control systems, and embedded AI applications. Powered by Intel Core Ultra 3 Series processors based on the Wildcat Lake-U platform, this industrial motherboard delivers efficient processing performance with advanced connectivity and graphics capabilities for modern industrial workloads. Designed for reliable operation in demanding environments, the IMB-1254-WV supports up to 64GB of DDR5 6400MHz memory with In-Band ECC support, providing fast data handling and enhanced system stability. Its Mini-ITX form factor allows easy integration into space-constrained systems while still offering flexible expansion options including PCIe Gen4, M.2 Key E and Key M slots, SATA3, multiple USB interfaces, and COM ports for industrial peripherals and communication devices.
The motherboard features dual Intel LAN ports with both Gigabit and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for high-speed networking and industrial communication applications. Triple independent display support through HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort, and LVDS/eDP outputs makes it well suited for digital signage, HMI systems, monitoring platforms, and visualisation applications. With support for a wide 9~28V DC input range and optional Out-of-Band (OOB) functionality for remote management, the IMB-1254-WV provides a dependable and scalable platform for next-generation embedded computing solutions.
