Cincoze Expands its Edge with MAGNET Series to Redefine Machine Vision Computing
Cincoze has made waves again in the industrial computing world with the launch of its MAGNET product line, a high-performance series of DIN-Rail embedded computers purpose-built for machine vision and edge AI applications.
This marks the company’s fourth product family, following rugged embedded computers, industrial panel PCs, and GPU embedded systems, consolidating Cincoze’s reputation as a pioneer in ruggedised computing solutions.
The MAGNET line, debuting with the flagship MD-3000 model, sets a new standard for smart manufacturing at the machine level. Compact yet incredibly powerful, the MD-3000 merges high performance, modular scalability, and a robust DIN-Rail design to handle the toughest industrial demands. Tailored for vision-guided robotics, real-time inspection, and precision measurement, this system brings together reliability and intelligence in a compact chassis.
Power and Precision: The Heart of Machine Vision
In industrial automation, machine vision demands exceptional processing speed, stability, and endurance. The MD-3000 addresses these needs head-on, supporting Intel® Core™ 14th, 13th, and 12th Gen processors (35-65W) and up to 96GB of DDR5 memory. With dual NVMe SSDs for lightning-fast data transfer, it effortlessly manages high-speed imaging and AI inference workloads.
But it’s Cincoze’s innovative thermal management that truly makes a difference. Sustaining desktop-grade processing power in a 150 mm chassis isn’t easy, yet the company has achieved it through two patented cooling technologies. The Dynamic Thermal Mechanism eliminates mechanical tolerances between the CPU heatsink and top cover, enabling efficient heat transfer to the aluminium fins. Meanwhile, the Smart Over Temperature Protection (OTP) system dynamically adjusts fan operation and monitors temperature in real time, ensuring long-term CPU reliability. (Patent numbers: I893729, I870277)
Together, these systems create a thermally stable platform capable of running complex AI-driven workloads without overheating, a vital feature for mission-critical automation environments.
Modular Expansion for Infinite Possibilities
One of the standout aspects of the MD-3000 is its modular scalability. Built on Cincoze’s exclusive expansion ecosystem, the system is composed of three elements: the main computer, the Scalable Expansion Deck (SED), and the Scalable Expansion Module (SEM). Users can tailor configurations with 2-, 4-, or 6-slot decks and choose from a diverse selection of SEMs for I/O interfaces, PoE, M.2 expansion, or additional storage.
This modular approach provides enormous flexibility for manufacturers with diverse system requirements. Even better, SEMs are hot-swappable, meaning modules can be replaced or upgraded without powering down the system, a massive time-saver in production environments. The guiding rail design enhances installation efficiency, making the MD-3000 as user-friendly as it is powerful.
Compact Strength in Harsh Environments
Industrial edge computing often faces extreme conditions, from fluctuating temperatures to constant vibration. Cincoze’s rugged heritage ensures the MD-3000 thrives where others falter. The unit features wide temperature operation (-40°C to 65°C), broad voltage input (9-48 VDC), and certification for industrial EMC standards (EN 61000-6-2/4).
Its DIN-Rail mount and compact 150 mm height make it an ideal fit for control cabinets and factory enclosures, while all I/O ports are front-facing for easy access during installation or maintenance. In industries where every millimetre counts, this design offers unmatched practicality without compromising on capability.
AI-Driven Edge Computing
Machine vision is at the forefront of Industry 4.0, enabling automation systems to see, think, and act in real time. The MAGNET MD-3000 bridges the gap between the factory floor and the cloud by delivering AI computing directly at the edge. This eliminates latency issues and reduces the need for continuous cloud connectivity, a critical advantage for high-speed inspection and robotics.
The MD-3000 can power a wide range of applications:
- Vision-Guided Robotics: enhancing motion precision and adaptive control.
- Quality Inspection Systems: detecting defects with machine learning accuracy.
- Measurement and Alignment Tools: improving production consistency.
- Predictive Maintenance: using AI to anticipate failures before they occur.
By bringing data processing closer to the source, MAGNET systems empower smarter, faster, and more reliable decision-making within industrial networks.
Built for Tomorrow’s Industrial Landscape
Cincoze’s new MAGNET line underscores the brand’s continued commitment to industrial innovation. Its versatility makes it suitable not only for manufacturing but also for transportation, logistics, energy, rail, and vehicle applications, all sectors that demand real-time data analysis under challenging conditions.
As the edge AI revolution accelerates, the MAGNET series positions Cincoze as a key enabler of intelligent, connected factories. The MD-3000 exemplifies how rugged engineering, smart design, and modular expansion can converge into a single compact system that redefines the boundaries of industrial computing.
