Qualcomm Technologies has launched the Qualcomm Dragonwing IG-X Series, providing next-generation industrial-grade processors for PLCs, advanced HMIs, edge controllers, panel PCs and box PCs
The Dragonwing IG-X Series is designed for harsh operating conditions, providing peripheral support for easy integration with diverse industrial equipment and deployment across applications.
Nakul Duggal, group general manager, Automotive and Industrial and Embedded IoT, Qualcomm Technologies, said, “With the Dragonwing IQ‑X Series, we’re bringing the Qualcomm Oryon CPU’s best-in-class single and multi-thread performance to the heart of the industrial PC, enabling smarter factories, more capable and faster edge controllers on the factory floor. The Dragonwing IQ‑X Series gives OEMs and ODMs a superior platform to build on for years while reducing complexity and reducing time to market.”
The Dragonwing IQ-X Series can address the needs of industrial OEMs and ODMs, delivering single and multi-thread compute performance, extended life-cycle support, advanced security features, improved connectivity and power efficiency.
Qualcomm Oryon CPU is a custom-designed processor built on 4nm process technology, delivering scalable configurations from eight to 12 high-performance cores and up to 45 TOPS of AI performance. The Dragonwing IQ-X Series can support a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
The Dragonwing IQ-X Series can support industry-standard COM module form factors for drop-in replacement on existing carrier boards with an evaluation kit to enable scalable solutions within diverse industry segments.
The platform supports a range of software, middleware, and applications on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, such as Qt, CODESYS, EtherCAT, and power tools that can improve flexibility, performance, and integration for industrial applications.
Industrial solutions can now also leverage the NPU for AI applications through Qualcomm AI Software Stack and common runtimes. The Dragonwing IQ-X Series can provide AI infrastructure for Industrial automation, allowing straightforward AI model porting and application development for critical use cases.
The Dragonwing IQ-X Series is designed for customisation and scalability, streamlining design for rugged systems and minimising the bill of materials by removing the need for external AI or multimedia modules. Its architecture and long-term availability enable OEMs and ODMs to provide configurable, high-value platforms for robotics, factory automation, and intelligent edge systems.
