The UP Element i12 EDGE is an advanced edge computing system powered by the Intel® NUC 12 Compute Element with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i3, i5, or i7 processors, offering a robust solution for autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and industrial automation. With support for up to 16GB of LPDDR5 memory and 5G connectivity via M.2 3052, it combines high performance with extensive connectivity options, including three LAN ports (one with 2.5Gbps support), Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth for seamless integration in high-demand environments.

Specifically designed for AMR applications, the UP Element i12 EDGE features an I/O configuration tailored for navigation and object detection. Its multiple USB ports enable connectivity for 3D cameras and sensors, while dual COM ports with RS-232/422/485 pin headers support LiDAR and IMU sensor integration, ensuring precise spatial awareness. The device’s isolated 16-pin GPIO interface provides protection against voltage surges, further enhancing reliability when using sensitive sensors in complex environments.

For stable and secure operation, the UP Element i12 EDGE incorporates Intel vPro® technology with Out-of-Band (OOB) management, allowing remote access and control even when the system is offline. With up to 10 cores and 12 threads, along with Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, this fanless system provides both processing power and remote diagnostic capabilities, making it ideal for advanced robotics and automation tasks that demand high precision and remote manageability.
