POC-766AWP: The New Standard in Fanless Waterproof Industrial Computers

POC-766AWP: The New Standard in Fanless Waterproof Industrial Computers


The POC-766AWP represents the newest generation of Neousys’ AWP-series: a fully waterproof, fanless embedded computer engineered for demanding industrial and outdoor environments. Powered by the Intel® i3-N305 processor with DDR5 memory support, it delivers a significant performance upgrade within a fully sealed IP67-rated enclosure. Constructed from stainless steel and aluminum, the system offers two thermal configurations: direct-contact cooling for installation inside metal cabinets and a fanless thermal solution for standalone deployment. This ensures reliable performance in harsh, real-world conditions requiring long-term durability and zero maintenance downtime.

 
Dust and Moisture Cause Frequent System Failures


Traditional computers with fans often fail when dust, moisture, or chemicals enter the chassis. The POC-766AWP solves this with its fully sealed IP67/IP66 waterproof enclosure, designed to resist rain, mud, dust and high-pressure water exposure. Rugged M12 connectors secure vibration-resistant cables, making the system suitable for agricultural vehicles, outdoor machinery and mobile automation equipment. Thanks to its fanless architecture, the system remains maintenance-free over long operational lifecycles.

Communication Instability Caused by Noise or Vibrations


Industrial and mobile environments often introduce electrical noise, unstable wiring or shock-related connector failures. The POC-766AWP addresses these issues with:

Dual 2.5GbE M12 X-coded ports for secure, vibration-proof Ethernet
One isolated RS-232 and one isolated RS-422/485 port for surge-protected data communication
CAN bus support and isolated Digital IO for automation and vehicle integration
Mini-PCIe slot for WiFi/LTE expansion
Additionally, two internal USB 3.2 ports and an HDMI output offer flexible access for non-waterproof environments, software configuration or peripheral connection.

 
Compact Fanless Systems Often Lack Processing Power


Many compact embedded systems struggle to meet modern performance requirements for edge computing. The POC-766AWP overcomes this with the Intel® i3-N305 (8 cores), offering a substantial performance boost for data acquisition, light edge-AI workloads, machine control and real-time outdoor monitoring. Combined with DDR5 memory and NVMe storage, the system provides the speed needed for demanding industrial tasks — even in environments with extreme heat or cold.

 
Industrial Systems Require Long-Term Durability with Minimal Maintenance


Environmental challenges such as vibration, corrosion and temperature fluctuations can severely reduce the lifespan of embedded computers. The POC-766AWP is built from stainless steel and aluminum, engineered for longevity and minimal servicing. Its IP67 enclosure protects against environmental exposure, while the fanless architecture extends reliability. This combination makes the system ideal for agriculture, industrial vehicles, construction equipment, smart-city devices and rugged automation systems where uptime is critical.

Conclusion: One Compact System Solving the Core Challenges of Industrial Edge Computing

The POC-766AWP blends rugged waterproof design with modern performance and industrial-grade connectivity. With its IP67 protection, M12 connectivity, isolated communication ports and next-generation Intel architecture, it offers a robust and maintenance-free solution for real-world environments where conventional industrial PCs fall short. Whether deployed in agricultural machinery, outdoor equipment, industrial vehicles or autonomous automation — the POC-766AWP ensures long-term reliability and continuous operation.
