Avalue Expands ARM-Based Panel PC Range for Smarter, Lower-Power Retail

Avalue Technology is expanding its smart-retail computing line beyond x86 Windows hardware with a growing range of ARM-based Panel PCs. The aim is greater deployment flexibility, lower power consumption and broader form-factor choice, so retailers can move from x86 to ARM with one trusted supplier providing complete retail support.

Why ARM for retail

Retail edge devices increasingly run fixed-function workloads — ordering, queue management, kiosk self-service, digital menus — where ARM platforms offer attractive energy efficiency, quiet fanless designs and lower deployment cost. Avalue's ARM Panel PC line complements its existing x86 lineup rather than replacing it, letting integrators pick the right architecture per site while keeping a single hardware partner.

The expanded ARM Panel PC line

The new and upcoming ARM-based models cover the main retail touchpoints:

• RPC-1521242732WM series — 15.6"/21.5"/24"/27"/32" all-in-one self-service kiosk panels.
• RPC-152124KD series — 15.6"/21.5"/23.8" kitchen display systems for back-of-house order management.
• RPC-212432SW series — 21"/24"/32" portable panel PCs powered by the Rockchip RK3576S.
• RPC-10PO — a 10.95" Android tablet panel for mobile and counter use.

One partner across x86 and ARM

Because Avalue supports both x86 and ARM retail platforms, retailers can standardise on one vendor for kiosks, kitchen displays, portable panels and tablets — simplifying procurement, spares and long-term support across mixed estates.

Edge AI alongside retail

The same Avalue update also introduced the ECM-PTL 3.5" micro module powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3, extending AI PC architecture to the edge with integrated CPU, GPU and NPU. Retailers adding intelligent video analytics or in-store AI can read our dedicated coverage of the Avalue ECM-PTL edge AI micro module.
