Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., on Thursday, November 14, announced the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-X Series powered by its next-generation industrial-grade processors. The company claims that the new processors have been engineered for PLCs, advanced HMIs, edge controllers, panel PCs and box PCs.
“With the Dragonwing IQ‑X Series, we’re bringing the Qualcomm Oryon CPU’s best-in-class single and multithread performance to the heart of the industrial PC, enabling smarter factories and more capable and faster edge controllers on the factory floor,” stated Nakul Duggal, group general manager, automotive and industrial & embedded IoT, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
The latest innovation has been developed for harsh operating conditions, and it comes in a ruggedised package and offers extensive peripheral support for easy integration with a wide range of industrial equipment along with flexible deployment across applications. According to the company, the IQ-X series comes with rich multimedia capabilities packaged in a power-efficient design.
“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,” said Duggal.
How does the IQ-X series help industries?
The new IQ-X series has been designed to address some of the most demanding needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and original design manufacturers (ODMs). It delivers best-in-class single- and multi-thread compute performance, long life-cycle support, enhanced security features, exceptional connectivity and power efficiency.
The Qualcomm Oryon CPU, a custom-designed processor made on advanced 4nm process technology, is at the core of the IQ-X series. The Oryon CPU offers scalable configurations from 8 to 12 high-performance cores and up to 45 TOPS of AI performance. Besides, the Dragonwing IQ-X Series supports an industrial-grade temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) for use in rugged and harsh environments.
In simple words, the Dragon IQ-X series is a dynamic computer platform that has been developed for factories and industrial environments. It operates with standard plug-in modules, which means companies can easily upgrade or replace parts without the need to upgrade or redesign their existing hardware. The platform also supports some known add-ons such as Windows 11 ioT, Qt, CODESYS, and EtherCat. This makes it capable of smoothly adapting to existing systems.
The IQ-X series also includes a built-in AI processor (NPU) which lets factories run AI tools directly on their equipment with popular AI frameworks such as ONNX and PyTorch. Simply put, this means smarter systems that can predict when a machine may fail, monitor equipment health, or even spot defects automatically.
With Dragonwing IQ-X, Qualcomm is giving industrial companies a ready-made, AI-friendly platform to build and scale intelligent factory solutions without starting from scratch.
