SINSMART Compact Industrial PC: High-Performance Solution for AGV Autonomous Navigation in Construction Sites

Project Background

In challenging construction environments such as concrete operations—where conditions involve intense vibrations, high dust levels, and complex terrain—AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) must deliver exceptional system stability and real-time processing. These applications typically require SLAM mapping, navigation, obstacle avoidance, and real-time interaction, placing stringent demands on the onboard control PC in terms of computing performance, interface richness, and environmental adaptability.

Customer Requirements

For a concrete construction AGV project, the customer required a complete autonomous navigation system with functions including:

• 2D mapping

• Localization and cruise navigation

• Dynamic obstacle avoidance

• Real-time interaction

The customer provided their own sensor configuration but needed to purchase an additional fanless industrial pc. They specified Ubuntu OS support and strict size constraints, limiting the device to within 250mm due to the limited installation space inside the vehicle.

Furthermore, the harsh concrete environment demanded strong anti-vibration, dust-proof capabilities, and wide-temperature adaptability to ensure reliable operation.

SINSMART Industrial PC Solution

To meet both the industry’s environmental challenges and the customer’s specific requirements, SINSMART engineers recommended the SIN-3094-H610E compact high-performance industrial PC.

1. Compact Size

• Dimensions: 212mm (W) × 165mm (D) × 65mm (H)

• Weight: 2.5 kg

• Slim design easily fits within the limited vehicle space, while lightweight construction simplifies integration and maintenance.

2. Robust Performance

• Powered by Intel 12th/13th Gen Core processors with up to 32GB DDR4 3200 memory, providing strong computing power to handle SLAM mapping, real-time path planning, and multi-sensor fusion algorithms.

• Storage flexibility with dual drive design:

  • 1 × hot-swappable 2.5” HDD/SSD bay

  • 1 × M.2 NVMe SSD slot
    This ensures fast read/write speeds and reliable, scalable data storage.

3. Rich I/O Interfaces

• 4 × Intel i226-IT 2.5G Ethernet ports for stable, high-speed communication between AGV and the scheduling system

• 4 × serial ports (RS-232/422/485) for connecting industrial sensors and control modules

• 4 × isolated DI/DO channels for safety and control signals

• Multiple USB 3.2/2.0 ports, dual SIM card slots, and Mini PCIe expansion for wireless modules and additional sensor integration

4. Industrial-Grade Reliability

• Wide-range DC input (8V–48V) ensures power stability, adaptability to fluctuating supply, and enhanced anti-interference performance.

• Designed with anti-vibration and dust protection, ensuring reliable operation in harsh concrete construction environments.
