ECS also known as ECSIPC, has introduced its LIVA Z5 series mini PCs, which include the LIVA Z5 Plus, LIVA Z5E Plus, and LIVA Z5F Plus models. These devices are designed to cater to the needs of quad-display industrial applications. ECSIPC's product development strategy is aimed at creating specialized products for various vertical industry applications. The company has successfully deployed its solutions in diverse fields, such as educational electronic whiteboards in Europe and the US, airport flight information systems in India, image projection systems for Japan's Shinkansen bullet trains, and point-of-sale (POS) systems for KFC in South America. It is also exploring new applications in vending machines and digital signage.

The LIVA Z5 series is equipped with Intel's 13th and 14th generation Core processors, which offer up to 10 cores for enhanced performance in demanding tasks. These mini PCs feature Wi-Fi 6E with speeds of up to 9.6 Gbps, facilitating efficient data transmission and smooth playback of high-definition audiovisual content. The series supports multiple storage options, including PCIe Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSDs and 2.5-inch SSDs or HDDs, providing flexible storage solutions. For industrial applications requiring high-speed data processing, the series includes two 2.5G Base-T Ethernet ports. The incorporation of vPro technology and physical TPM modules adds significant value to industrial applications by enhancing security and management capabilities.

The LIVA Z5 Plus and Z5E Plus models are particularly suited for multi-display industrial applications, having received certification from Intel Edge Software Recommended Hardware. They support 4K UHD image processing and can connect to up to four monitors through 2 HDMI ports, a DisplayPort, and a Type C (Alt. DP) interface. The Z5E Plus model offers additional flexibility with two variants: one equipped with four COM interfaces and the other with two, both capable of HDMI input/image card support for AI-assisted visual image processing.

These models are valuable in various sectors, from smart retail environments displaying digital menus and advertisements to industrial control rooms and smart transportation systems requiring multi-display monitoring. The Z5E Plus, with its four COM interfaces, is particularly effective in environments that necessitate quick and accurate data management, such as POS systems and barcode scanners.

The LIVA Z5F Plus stands out for its fanless design, making it suitable for industrial environments where dust and dirt can be a concern. By eliminating the need for fans, this model minimizes maintenance requirements and extends the lifespan of the system. It is ideal for settings such as factory production lines, warehouse management systems, and laboratory control consoles, where a quiet, clean, and safe working environment is paramount. The fanless design also contributes to lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime due to equipment failures. With its COM connectivity, the LIVA Z5F Plus is capable of integrating with industrial control equipment, facilitating automated production processes and enhancing the efficiency and reliability of industrial control applications.
