Advantech, the embedded platform and integration services provider, is proud to announce that its SOM-7562 COM-Express Mini CPU Module, MIO-5270 MI/O-Compact Extension SBC, MIO-2260 MI/O-Ultra Extension SBC, PCM-3363 Rugged PCI-104 CPU Board and AIMB-213 Mini-ITX Motherboard, have each been recognized witha "2012 Taiwan Excellence" award. The Taiwan Excellence Awards were setup in 1992 to encourage the best innovation, value, quality and design in new products. Featuring unique industrial designs, plus the added value of integration with intelligent software APIs, and minimized thermal performance, these five embedded products were chosen for the outstanding usability they present to system integrators.

The Taiwan Excellence Award program has been going strong for over 20 years, and is highly regarded among industry insiders for highlighting the most innovative and exciting new product releases each year. The 2012 winners were announced in late December, 2011. According to the organization, there were 1145 products from 426 companies nominated to participate in the annual award program this year. Advantech’s outstanding performance is the net result of years of experience, working closely with partners developing pioneering products and solutions.
