Avalue Launches APC-2146 and APC-2346 Industrial Panel PCs on Intel Core Ultra 5 (Meteor Lake)

What Avalue announced

On 27 May 2026 Avalue Technology launched the APC-2146 and APC-2346 — next-generation industrial panel PCs at 21.5" and 23.8" Full HD respectively, both powered by the Intel Core Ultra 5 125U (Meteor Lake) processor with integrated NPU AI engine. Both models extend Avalue's APC industrial panel PC lineup for smart retail, self-service kiosks, smart healthcare and industrial automation.

Core platform: Intel Core Ultra 5 125U with integrated NPU

Both panel PCs run the 14th-generation Intel Core Ultra 5 125U (Meteor Lake) on Avalue's EMX-MTLP SBC, combining the CPU, GPU and an integrated NPU AI engine on one platform. Per Avalue, the platform is optimised for real-time data processing, intelligent image recognition, interactive digital applications and AI edge inference workloads.

Memory and expansion:

• Memory — up to 32 GB DDR5 5600 MHz
• Wireless expansion — M.2 Key E slot for optional Wi-Fi / Bluetooth modules
• Operating systems — Windows 10, Windows 11, Linux

Industrial-grade chassis and display

The APC series adopts a true-flat, narrow-bezel design with PCAP (projected capacitive) multi-touch, in a fully enclosed fanless plastic chassis. The thermal design eliminates fans for low operational noise and minimal dust accumulation — Avalue positions both systems for high-dust, high-usage or mission-critical environments requiring long-term stable operation.

• APC-2146 — 21.5" Full HD, ultra-slim ~45.5 mm thick
• APC-2346 — 23.8" Full HD, ~49.5 mm thick
• Front protection — IP65 for water and dust resistance

I/O and power

Both systems share the same I/O profile:

• 2 × Intel Gigabit Ethernet
• 4 × USB 3.0
• USB Type-C
• HDMI display output
• Audio Line-out / MIC-in
• 12–24 V DC wide-range power input
• VESA mounting + stand accessories

Where each one fits

Avalue positions the two screen sizes differently:

• APC-2146 (21.5") — self-service kiosks, POS systems, medical carts and interactive information terminals where panel footprint matters
• APC-2346 (23.8") — digital signage, factory control systems and larger interactive interfaces

Shared application themes from the announcement:

• Smart retail and self-service — high-sensitivity multi-touch + wireless networking for contactless services, backend sync and cloud integration
• Industry 4.0 / smart manufacturing — HMI and equipment monitoring; fanless + IP65 + wide-range power supports continuous operation in demanding plants
• Smart healthcare — low-noise, easy-maintenance operation for bedside information systems, nursing stations, mobile medical carts and medical equipment interfaces

Where this fits Avalue's APC lineup

The APC-2146 and APC-2346 sit alongside Avalue's existing APC industrial panel PC range.
