Portwell, a global innovator in industrial and embedded computing solutions, releases PCOM-B887, a COM-HPC Client Type Size C module compliant with the PICMG COM-HPC Revision 1.2 specification. Powered by Intel®Core™ Ultra 200S Series processors, PCOM-B887 is a high-performance computer-on-module platform engineered for AI-enabled embedded applications. Featuring Intel®Core™ Ultra processor architecture with an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the module combines CPU, GPU, and dedicated AI acceleration into a single platform, enabling optimized AI inference capability while improving power efficiency for dynamic intelligent edge systems.
Designed for demanding embedded workloads, PCOM-B887 delivers exceptional computing performance alongside advanced connectivity features. The module supports Intel®Core™ Ultra 200S Series socket processors, PCIe Gen5 x16, PCIe Gen5 x4, PCIe Gen4, USB4, DDR5 memory up to 192GB, SATA storage, multiple display interfaces including DDI and eDP, and an integrated NPU dedicated to AI acceleration. This powerful combination allows OEMs and system integrators to build scalable platforms capable of handling AI inference, high-resolution graphics, and real-time data processing while supporting future technology upgrades.
“Industrial applications today require much more than raw computing performance,” said Eric Lu, Product Manager at Portwell. “Customers are looking for platforms that combine AI acceleration, high-speed I/O, graphics capability, and long product life within a standardized modular architecture. PCOM-B887 delivers exactly that. By leveraging Intel®Core™ Ultra 200S Series processors together with the COM-HPC ecosystem, customers can shorten development cycles while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to evolving application requirements.”
PCOM-B887 is engineered to support a broad range of performance-intensive embedded applications. In factory automation, its powerful CPU cores, high-bandwidth memory architecture, and multi-display capability enable responsive HMI control stations, industrial controllers, and intelligent manufacturing equipment requiring reliable real-time computing. For machine vision, the integrated Intel®Xe-LPG GPU delivers outstanding graphics computing performance for high-speed image processing, while hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding and decoding supports low-latency, high-quality video streaming for AI inspection and vision analytics.
In medical equipment, the platform provides excellent graphics performance for advanced CT, MRI, and diagnostic imaging systems while the socketed processor architecture supports upgrade flexibility and helps OEMs address the long product lifecycle requirements common in medical equipment designs. Meanwhile, digital signage applications benefit from support for up to four independent 4K displays or a single 8K display, creating immersive visual experiences for retail, transportation, and public information systems. Support for SR-IOV GPU virtualization further enables multiple independent display content streams from a single computing platform.
“The combination of AI acceleration, desktop-class processing, high-speed graphics, and modular COM-HPC architecture makes PCOM-B887 an ideal foundation for intelligent systems requiring long-term flexibility and scalability,” added Lu. “Whether customers are building AI inspection equipment, advanced medical imaging devices, industrial edge servers, or immersive digital signage solutions, PCOM-B887 provides the performance, connectivity, and modular flexibility required to support evolving embedded AI deployments.”
As AI becomes increasingly integrated into modern industrial systems, computing platforms must provide both high performance and the flexibility to accommodate future technology advancements. PCOM-B887 combines Intel®Core™ Ultra 200S Series processors, dedicated NPU AI acceleration, PCIe Gen5 expansion, DDR5 memory, USB4 connectivity, and the standardized COM-HPC architecture into a powerful modular platform that simplifies system integration while maximizing long-term investment value.
From industrial automation and robotics to machine vision, medical imaging, embedded edge servers, and digital signage, PCOM-B887 enables equipment manufacturers and system integrators to accelerate AI deployment, reduce development complexity, and build scalable embedded solutions that support intelligent computing today and into the future.
