FORTEC Group Introduces SBCPRO-X51 Embedded Platform

The FORTEC Group has announced the launch of the SBCPRO-X51, a 3.5” single board computer engineered at our FORTEC branch in Germany to deliver powerful, efficient computing in demanding industrial and IoT environments. Now available through FORTEC United Kingdom, the platform brings a new level of flexibility and performance to embedded system design.

At the heart of the SBCPRO-X51 is the Intel® Atom® x7211RE “Amston Lake-N” processor, offering reliable performance with low power consumption—ideal for fanless and space-constrained designs. What sets this board apart is its modular approach: built with M.2 expansion slots, it enables a range of configuration options to suit diverse application needs.

One such option is the innovative USB-C M.2 module, which allows engineers to connect a display, touch interface and power—using just a single USB-C cable. This not only simplifies integration but also reduces wiring complexity and mechanical design effort. For large-format display applications, a V-by-One M.2 module is available, enabling seamless 4K output ideal for advanced HMI systems and control interfaces.

Designed for harsh environments, the SBCPRO-X51 supports continuous 24/7 operation and has been tested across a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +80°C. Network connectivity is robust, with dual 2.5GbE Ethernet ports for high-speed communication and Wi-Fi support for wireless deployment scenarios. The platform is also fully compatible with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, ensuring long-term software stability and security for embedded deployments.

In addition to the board-level solution, FORTEC also offers the BPCPRO-X51, a pre-integrated Box PC variant that delivers the same performance in a compact enclosure—ideal for customers seeking a ready-to-deploy system.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
