Contec Co., Ltd. will launch the dedicated Windows terminal "LPC-200A Online Qualification Confirmation Terminal Model" on March 24, compliant with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Requirements to be met by qualification confirmation terminals." The terminal will be shipped with the recommended operating system for online qualification confirmation terminals, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC, and Microsoft Edge (Chromium version) as the default browser pre-installed. Additionally, a dedicated model with applications provided by the Social Insurance Medical Fee Payment Fund pre-installed is scheduled for release in April 2021. It is equipped with two high-speed gigabit LAN ports, designed for separate network configurations for online billing and in-hospital/in-office networks, as well as a high-capacity SSD (Solid State Drive) to run facial recognition card readers and dedicated applications smoothly. It comes with a vertical stand and VESA mount kit, allowing installation in limited reception areas such as under or behind monitors.

Contec has developed a USB-connected I/O unit that allows for flexible combinations of I/O, and has started accepting orders for the new product in the PC-HELPER series of PC measurement and control components, the "Modular USB I/O Unit CC-USB271-CPSN4." When there are different operational circuits or sensors at a single endpoint and the overall number of I/O points is low, it is possible to configure the I/O unit by combining I/O modules with the net signal input/output points, which can reduce costs compared to conventional USB I/O units. The new product is a compact modular USB I/O unit that connects to a Windows PC's USB port using an attached USB cable (USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A to Type-C). It can use up to four versatile and low-cost signal input/output I/O modules from the Ethernet-based remote I/O "CONPROSYS(R) nano series (currently available)." Additionally, it can be powered via USB cable from a Windows PC. It features a safety design that alerts users with an LED flash if the power consumption exceeds the power that can be supplied by USB bus power.

Contec Corporation has developed a fanless embedded PC equipped with the "Power Cut Protect(TM)" function, which supports power-off operation without OS shutdown, achieving a thickness of approximately 30mm and a size comparable to A5 paper. Orders for the "Box Computer(R) BX-T210" began on February 2, 2021. The new product features a high-performance quad-core CPU while maintaining a slim and compact size of approximately A5 paper thickness (30mm), and it operates within a temperature range of -20 to 70°C. It excels in vibration resistance (5G) and shock resistance (100G), making it widely usable as a controller or operation terminal for industrial equipment that requires environmental durability. It complies with export and safety standards such as CE marking, FCC, VCCI, and CCC (scheduled for April), as well as UL (scheduled for April), allowing for standalone export as maintenance parts. The new product is equipped with a new feature called "Power Cut Protect(TM)" that protects data from power failures and prohibits writing to storage, enabling safe power-off without shutdown processing.

Contec has developed an industrial edge AI computer equipped with the NVIDIA(R) Jetson Nano(TM), and will begin accepting orders for it under the name "DX-U1100" starting February 1, 2021. The "DX-U1100 series" features the NVIDIA(R) Jetson Nano(TM) module and is a versatile industrial edge AI computer focused on practicality. It is equipped with 2x Gigabit LAN, HDMI, 2x USB, general-purpose I/O, and RTC (real-time/calendar clock), achieving flexible installation and environmental resistance, making it suitable for practical applications with confidence. The software environment comes pre-installed with Ubuntu, similar to the Jetson developer kit, and the NVIDIA JetPack(TM) SDK is available, allowing you to run applications created with the developer kit. In April 2021, we plan to release a higher model, the "DX-U1200," equipped with the NVIDIA(R) Jetson Xavier(TM) NX as the second installment.
