Advanet Unveils Comprehensive Renesas RZ/G3L-Based Industrial Computing Solutions

Advanet Inc., a member of the Eurotech Group, has recently announced an impressive array of industrial computing products that utilize the advanced Renesas RZ/G3L microprocessing unit (MPU). This new product family consists of three key components: the Adsmc7101 SMARC module, the AdiMB7103 industrial motherboard, and the AdiCS7102 box PC. These solutions are designed to facilitate the development and deployment of industrial systems with exemplary long-term lifecycle performance.

The entire platform integrates the strength of Advanet's embedded expertise with Renesas’ cutting-edge RZ/G technology, marking a significant milestone in industrial computing capabilities. As highlighted by Ludovico Ciferri, the president of Advanet, this product family streamlines the process from system-on-module to fully integrated computing systems, allowing customers to select the most suitable form factor for their specific needs.

A Seamless Path from Concept to Deployment

The Adsmc7101 module serves as the backbone for this innovative product line. This modular setup not only provides adaptability in terms of form factor but also allows for application-specific customization. Applications extend across several domains, including Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), industrial automation, edge computing, and building automation. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for OEMs seeking to accelerate development processes and industrialization timelines.

Ciferri emphasizes how these products offer a scalable framework that supports customization. He points out that with the Adsmc7101, they deliver the power of the RZ/G3L platform in a ready-to-use SMARC format. The comprehensive range offered by the AdiMB7103 motherboard and the AdiCS7102 box PC is designed to address the varying complexity and demands of industrial systems.

Advanced Processing Power for Industrial Applications

At the core of the product family is the potent Renesas RZ/G3L MPU, which features a Quad-Core Arm® Cortex®-A55 CPU operating at 1.2 GHz. This architecture not only enhances computational capabilities but also provides superior multitasking performance. According to Arm, the Cortex-A55 exhibits up to 18% higher performance and 15% greater energy efficiency compared to its predecessor, Cortex-A53.

This impressive processing power enables the platforms to cater to demanding industrial applications, ensuring reliability and efficiency in operation. Additionally, the Adsmc7101 module, along with its companion hardware, offers a customizable experience. With possibilities for configurations supporting up to 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of eMMC storage, these devices can meet a broad array of performance, functionality, and cost requirements.

Commitment to Reliability and Long-Term Support

With an eye toward industrial longevity, the product range benefits from Renesas’ Verified Linux Package and is part of the Product Longevity Program. This means not only software integration support but also assurances of long-term availability—an essential feature for industrial customers. Advanet is also ensuring that the platform is tested for selected aerospace applications, where reliability, supply chain continuity, and adaptability are paramount.

Availability and Looking Ahead

As of today, the Adsmc7101, AdiMB7103, and AdiCS7102 models are available for purchase. Interested parties can reach out to Advanet for more information regarding samples, configurations, and technical documentation to begin leveraging these advanced industrial computing solutions.
