Winmate VMC series is the Automobile Mounted Mobile Tablet PC that is made to fit perfectly into Forklift s and various other warehouse automobiles to aid decrease mistakes, enhance ordering and also inventory management, as well as improve opera on performances. Winmate FM12E forklift mounted computers with Intel "Elkhart lake" based rugged vehicle-mount computer for data collection and logistics application. Rugged computers, the kind that is used on the job and doesn't easily break, generally come as handhelds, panels, laptops, and tablets. But there are also more specialized versions, and one of them is vehicle computers. We're not talking about the ECUs (Electronic Control Units) that handle all of modern cars' and trucks' systems, but vehicle computers used in warehouses and similar operations where they are mounted on forklifts, trucks, tuggers, and inventory pickers. Winmate's FM12E is one such computer, a compact 12-inch tablet-like panel designed for such tasks. The FM12E is small. Its 12-inch footprint is smaller than that of the iPad Mini. That's so that the computer doesn't get in the way. The FM12E is just big enough to bring full-function Windows 11 and all of the enormous wealth of Windows applications to the job. It's also big enough to have five programmable physical function buttons. That's often sufficient to quickly and effortlessly operate a custom-coded application. If not, the FM12E has responsive capacitive multi-touch and it can also be mounted with a compact physical keyboard. The image below shows the front of the FM12E as well as the I/O on its sides. On top are the power button and antennae pass-throughs. Up to four are possible, for Wi-Fi, GPS, and dual WWAN. On the left side is a DB9 port that provides two USB ports via an adapter cable. On the bottom are circular screw-on M12 type connectors for power and gigabit Ethernet LAN. A DB15 connector provides CANBus access as well as (programmable) digital I/O. Next to that is a DB9 RS232 port. The sidebar to the right shows the backside of the FM12E. It's made of thick cast aluminum to provide strength, serve as a heat sink and dissipator for the fanless FM12E, and also present a solid mounting surface with screw hole patterns both for Ram Mount and VESA 75 mounting hardware (see sidebar for mounting illustrations). For processing, the Winmate FM12E uses a dual-core Intel Elkhart lake CPU. This is a 64-bit 14nm chip designed to idle along at a thermally efficient base frequency of 1.1GHz, but also capable of operating at burst frequencies up to 2.4GHz to quickly handle heavier loads. There's up to 8GB of RAM. Mass storage is via M.2 modules (our review unit came with a 64GB SSD module).To support the next generation of IoT edge devices, Intel has developed a new line of processors enhanced for IoT—The Intel Atom® x6000E Series, Intel® Pentium®, and Intel® Celeron® N and J Series processors. These processors build on new levels of CPU, and graphics performances with integrated IoT features, real-time performance, manageability, security, and functional safety.Performance Up to a 1.7x improvement in single-thread performance and up to a 1.5x improvement in multi-thread performance generation over generation. Up to 2x performance improvement in graphics over previous generation. 1 Next-generation graphics Take a huge leap forward in graphics capabilities with Intel® UHD Graphics. With the ability to drive a maximum resolution of 4kp60 on up to three simultaneous displays, it is a first for this family of processors. Integration and flexibility Leverage a dedicated offload engine with the Intel® Programmable Services Engine (Intel® PSE). Powered by an Arm* Cortex-M7 microcontroller, it provides independent, low-DMIPs computing and low-speed I/Os for IoT applications. It also hosts new functions like remote, out-of-band device management, network proxy, embedded controller, and sensor hub. Remote device management Monitor and manage devices using in-band capability through Wi-Fi or wired ethernet to perform remote firmware and software updates. When OS is unresponsive, use out-of-band manageability through wired ethernet. Meet functional safety requirements: The Intel® Safety Island With functional safety capabilities integrated into the silicon, the Intel Atom® x6000FE Series industrial processors meet IEC 61508 and ISO 13849 requirements (SIL2/Cat.3 PL d certified, SIL3/Cat.4 PL e capable) for functional safety. You can download the certificate here Integrated connectivity Easily provides high-speed connectivity with three integrated 2.5GbE MAC all with time-sensitive networking (TSN) capability. While the Winmate FM12E looks like a tablet from the front, that's not what it is. Unlike some vehicle mounts, the FM12E doesn't have an internal battery option. This is a small industrial panel computer, one made of thick, tough polymer plastic and a steel plate in the front and that hefty cast aluminum back. It's built to last. Below you can see the inside front of the Winmate FM12E vehicle-mount computer (click on it for a full-size image). Note that, unlike consumer tech where miniaturized and highly integrated electronics preclude customization, upgrades, and most repairs, the Winmate FM12E is built like an embedded system. That means a PC-style motherboard with plenty of ports, connectivity, and expansion potential. WiFi, WAN, RAM, storage, etc. are all modular and easily replaced. Another functionality is on daughterboards. This vehicle mount can be configured to whatever needs a customer might have. As a dedicated vehicle PC, the FM12E can accommodate a wide 9 to 36 Volt input range. Ignition control allows for proper startup and graceful shutdowns. A 12-Volt AC/DC power adapter and cable are available for setup and testing. Winmate offers a variety of vehicle computers with display sizes ranging from 7 to 12 inches. Each serves a different purpose. While the FM12E is designed to be a stationary vehicle mount, the slightly larger FM12E has an integrated keyboard and uses a dock that makes for easy relocation; the FM12E uses the same dock but offers a bigger display for easy touch input; the M101BK is a mobile tablet with an integrated keyboard that can also be used in vehicles, as can the older but super-rugged M9020. The table shows that these machines are roughly equal in terms of performance and I/O; the difference is screen size, input methods, and primary deployment targets. #ESRP20230420
