SMARC Family — smart, scalable COM modules
The ADLINK SMARC (Smart Mobility Architecture) family delivers a portfolio of small-form-factor, low-power computer-on-modules tailored for fanless, rugged edge systems in industrial, automation, robotics, transportation, and IoT applications.
Designed on the SMARC standard, these modules balance high-performance compute, rich I/O, and broad OS support, enabling rapid development of compact embedded solutions optimised for real-world deployment. SMARC’s flexible pinout supports both x86 and Arm processors, making it ideal for diverse workloads — from vision and AI tasks to real-time control and connectivity.
ADLINK SMARC modules are ideal for embedded system designers, industrial equipment OEMs, robotics developers, and edge AI integrators who need compact compute modules capable of delivering reliable performance in rugged, fanless environments with rich I/O and long product availability.
