IEC-6700-358H
The IEC-6700-358H is a compact edge AI Box PC built around the Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processor x7 358H (Panther Lake-H), featuring a hybrid 4P+8E+4LPE core architecture with an integrated Intel® AI engine delivering up to 180 TOPS of on-device inference performance. Supporting up to 128 GB of DDR5 memory at 7,200 MHz across two SO-DIMM slots and a pair of PCIe Gen5/Gen4 NVMe M.2 storage slots, the IEC-6700-358H brings modern workstation-class compute into a 115.4 × 108 × 44.5 mm chassis weighing just 515 grams.
Designed for IT/OT integration, intelligent HMI applications and AI-enhanced edge computing in conditioned industrial environments, the IEC-6700-358H offers a connectivity profile that goes well beyond a standard industrial box PC: four simultaneous display outputs (2× HDMI 2.1 at up to 8K@60Hz plus 2× DisplayPort 2.1/1.4a), Thunderbolt 4 / USB4, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, Intel® vPro™ Essentials for remote management, and full compatibility with Windows 11 and Ubuntu Linux — making it a practical choice wherever enterprise software stacks and industrial I/O need to coexist in the same compact unit.
Key Features
- Intel Core Ultra x7 358H — 180 TOPS AI Performance: Panther Lake-H hybrid architecture with 4 Performance cores, 8 Efficient cores and 4 Low-Power Efficient cores; integrated Intel Neural Processing Unit (NPU) delivers up to 180 TOPS for on-device AI inference workloads including computer vision, anomaly detection and natural language processing without discrete GPU power draw
- Four Simultaneous Display Outputs up to 8K: 2× HDMI 2.1 (maximum 7,680×4,320@60Hz) and 2× DisplayPort 2.1/1.4a enable quad-monitor HMI panels, multi-zone digital signage walls and operator dashboard configurations from a single 515 g unit; Intel® Arc™ integrated graphics handles display-intensive workloads natively
- Up to 128 GB DDR5 at 7,200 MHz: Two 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM sockets with RAID 0/1 support via Intel VMD; PCIe Gen5 x4 primary NVMe slot and PCIe Gen4 x4 secondary slot provide fast, redundant storage for AI model repositories, data historians and real-time operating system workloads
- Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 and USB 3.2 Gen2: Single Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 port (40 Gbps) enables direct connection of high-bandwidth peripherals, external GPU enclosures or daisy-chained Thunderbolt docks; supplemented by four USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen2×2 Type-C and one USB 2.0 for comprehensive peripheral coverage
- Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 Built In: M.2 Key-E wireless module provides the latest Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard for multi-link operation and reduced latency in congested RF environments; Bluetooth 6.0 covers industrial sensor pairing; dual 2.5 GbE Intel I225-series LAN ports provide wired redundancy and SMB multi-gigabit network access
- Intel vPro Essentials and PTT Hardware Security: Out-of-band remote management via Intel vPro Essentials allows IT teams to monitor, diagnose and remediate deployed units without physical access; Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT) provides firmware-based TPM 2.0 equivalent security for credential storage, disk encryption and secure boot in distributed deployments
Application Use Cases
Intelligent HMI and Operator Console Systems
The IEC-6700-358H's four simultaneous display outputs make it well-suited for multi-screen operator consoles in SCADA control rooms, MES workstations and process monitoring centres. HDMI 2.1 at up to 8K enables high-resolution process visualisation on a single display, whilst the remaining three outputs drive supporting dashboards, alarm panels and video feeds — all from a unit compact enough to mount directly behind a VESA-compatible monitor without a dedicated controller cabinet.
Digital Signage and Retail Automation
Quad-output 8K display capability, Windows 11 support and a VESA mount kit position the IEC-6700-358H for AI-enhanced digital signage applications: dynamic content rendering, audience analytics via connected USB cameras and real-time inventory display integration. The Wi-Fi 7 module enables content synchronisation across multi-zone signage networks without Ethernet infrastructure, and the 515 g form factor allows installation in slim display enclosures and kiosk housings.
Edge AI Inference in Conditioned Industrial Environments
Running Windows 11 or Ubuntu with access to the full Intel OpenVINO toolkit, the IEC-6700-358H executes computer vision, natural language and time-series anomaly detection models on the integrated NPU at up to 180 TOPS — freeing the CPU and GPU for parallel tasks such as data logging, UI rendering and network communication. For factory-floor deployments in conditioned enclosures where the 0–50 °C operating range is met, this eliminates the need for a separate GPU-equipped workstation alongside the control PC.
IT/OT Convergence and Smart Factory Computing
Intel vPro Essentials enables centralised IT management of distributed IEC-6700-358H units across a production plant, applying firmware updates, monitoring hardware health and issuing remote commands without dispatching field technicians. Windows 11 compatibility bridges the gap between enterprise IT software stacks — ERP, MES, document management — and the RS-232/422/485 serial connectivity needed for legacy machine and PLC integration, reducing the architecture to a single managed edge node per workstation.
Compact AI Gateway for IoT and Building Automation
Weighing 515 g and drawing power from a DC 12–24 V source, the IEC-6700-358H installs inside building management system cabinets, network comms rooms and above-ceiling IT enclosures where space is constrained. Bluetooth 6.0 and Wi-Fi 7 aggregate data from BLE sensor networks and wireless IoT devices, while the NPU runs local inference for energy optimisation, occupancy detection and predictive maintenance — reducing cloud data transfer costs and response latency for building automation control loops.
Why Choose the IEC-6700-358H
180 TOPS AI Inference Without a Discrete GPU
The Intel Core Ultra x7 358H integrates an NPU directly on the SoC die, delivering 180 TOPS of AI inference performance without the power draw, heat output or physical space requirement of a discrete GPU card. For applications that require AI inference alongside standard compute, display driving and network communication — rather than GPU-only AI workloads — this architecture is more efficient than pairing a separate accelerator with a conventional CPU. The result is a 515 g unit that runs inference, drives four displays and manages an industrial serial port from a single 120 W DC supply.
The Broadest Display Coverage in Its Form Factor
Four simultaneous video outputs at up to 8K@60Hz on HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 is a specification that typically requires a full-sized workstation or a multi-slot graphics card. The IEC-6700-358H delivers this in a NUC-style chassis with VESA mounting, allowing system architects to reduce hardware count in multi-display environments — operator consoles, digital signage arrays and process visualisation walls — to a single certified, manageable edge unit rather than a PC-plus-video-splitter assembly.
Enterprise Manageability in an Industrial Package
Intel vPro Essentials out-of-band management closes a gap that many industrial edge computers leave open: the ability to remotely diagnose and remediate a unit even when the operating system is unresponsive. For organisations managing dozens or hundreds of edge nodes across geographically distributed facilities, this reduces total cost of ownership by eliminating on-site service calls for software and firmware issues. Combined with Windows 11 support, TAA compliance and CE/FCC certification, the IEC-6700-358H integrates into enterprise procurement and IT governance frameworks without exceptions.
