Advantech has introduced the MIC‑78 Series expansion modules designed to enhance the performance and flexibility of its modular MIC‑780 industrial computer.

The launch, announced on 26 January, 2026, marks a significant upgrade path for customers deploying edge AI and automation systems in demanding environments.

The MIC‑780 is a compact, fanless industrial system powered by Intel Core Ultra 5/7/9 processors (Series 2), engineered for long‑term reliability in AI‑driven applications. Its modular architecture allows seamless integration with the MIC‑78 Series modules, giving users scalable options for compute performance and I/O expansion. This flexibility simplifies deployments and reduces lifecycle costs by enabling onsite upgrades and easier maintenance.

At the heart of the line-up is the MIC‑78MG30 GPU module, built to support PCIe Gen 5 and high‑end NVIDIA GPUs like the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, delivering powerful acceleration for AI inference and machine vision tasks. Its fanless design helps maintain stable operation in harsh industrial conditions while minimising dust build-up.

Complementing the GPU module, the MIC‑78M PCIe series — including the MIC‑78M20/20‑01, MIC‑78M10 and MIC‑78M40‑01 — offers flexible high‑throughput PCIe Gen 5 and Gen 4 expansion for data acquisition, camera connectivity and automation integration. These modules support LAN, PoE camera connections, and PLC interfaces, enabling scalable system configurations tailored to complex industrial needs.
