Vecow ECX-4000 Intel Core Ultra Fanless AI Computers with PoE+ and 10GbE

Adding AI inference to an existing edge system has usually meant adding a GPU or accelerator card, along with the power, heat and fans that come with it. Intel Core Ultra changes that sum by putting an NPU on the processor itself. The Vecow ECX-4000 series is built around that idea: fanless AI computers on Intel Core Ultra 200S processors, where the NPU and Xe LPG graphics together deliver up to 36 TOPS for OpenVINO workloads without a separate card.

Every ECX-4000 shares the same core. Core Ultra 200S processors (Arrow Lake-S) from the 14-core Core Ultra 5 245 to the 24-core Core Ultra 9 285 run on the Intel W880 chipset, in 65 W or 35 W versions, with two DDR5 6400 MHz CSODIMM slots up to 96 GB and optional ECC. Six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, four COM ports, two DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-I outputs, and M.2 Key B and Key E sockets with two SIM slots cover field I/O and wireless. Storage combines two SATA III ports, an M.2 Key M PCIe x4 slot and, on R models, two front-access SSD trays.

The range is split by networking and storage. The ECX-4000-2G and ECX-4000-2R have one 2.5GbE and one GbE port. The ECX-4000-6G and ECX-4000-6R move to five 2.5GbE ports plus GbE. The ECX-4000-PoE and ECX-4000-PoER make four of those 2.5GbE ports PoE+. The ECX-4025 and ECX-4025R add three more 2.5GbE ports for nine in total, and the ECX-4071 and ECX-4071R add two 10GbE SFP+ ports instead. In each pair, the R model adds two front-access SSD trays, so buyers choose port count first and then decide whether drives should be removable.

In practice, ECX-4000 fanless AI computers suit machine vision, inspection cells, AI-assisted cargo and logistics handling, and intelligent transport sites. Redundant 9-50 V DC inputs with 16-mode software ignition control suit vehicles and plant power, while EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 EMC listings support rail use. Operating range depends on the build: -40 °C to 75 °C with a 35 W CPU, -40 °C to 55 °C with a 65 W CPU or on the ECX-4071 models, and -40 °C to 70 °C on the ECX-4025 models.
