Avalue Technology Inc. (TPEx: 3479.TWO), a provider specializing in industrial computer solutions, announces that its HID-2146 Medical Edge AI Panel PC has been honored with the Taiwan Excellence Award 2027, recognizing its innovative design, advanced edge computing capabilities, and practical applications in next-generation smart healthcare environments. Quality, and marketing — with winners required to demonstrate "Innovative Value" while embodying the best of Made-in-Taiwan engineering.

The HID-2146 is powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 225U or Core™ Ultra 7 255U processors and supports up to 96GB of DDR5 memory, delivering the performance headroom required for medical imaging, AI inference, and clinical information systems in a low-power, all-in-one design. Its 21.5-inch Full HD display features projective capacitive multi-touch (up to 10 points) and an ultra-narrow bezel that is more than 50% narrower than Avalue's previous-generation model, maximizing the viewing area for AI-enhanced clinical visualization.

A key innovation of the HID-2146 is its flexible audio and voice interaction design. An optional noise-cancelling microphone paired with a 10W high-fidelity slim sound bar improves voice capture and intelligibility in busy ward environments. By suppressing ambient noise, the system supports hands-free operation and voice-driven clinical assistant applications, helping clinicians interact with hospital information systems while keeping their hands on patient care rather than a keyboard.

Beyond core compute performance, the HID-2146 provides a PCIe x4 expansion slot and an M.2 Key B interface, accommodating optional GPU, AI accelerator, video capture, and high-speed networking modules. This modular architecture allows system integrators and medical technology partners to tailor the platform to specific clinical requirements, from inference-assisted applications to medical imaging integration.

For enhanced connectivity and electrical protection, the optional IET (Isolation Expansion Technology) module delivers 5kV isolation across LAN, COM, and USB interfaces, supporting dependable peripheral connectivity in electrically demanding medical settings.

The HID-2146 incorporates a 180W medical-grade power adapter, front IP65 and rear IP54 ingress protection, and an anti-microbial white finish to support hygiene and infection control requirements. Its integrated 12V/24V DC output, delivering up to 48W, enables direct connection to workflow peripherals such as thermal printers and other clinical devices, and an optional built-in 49Wh Li-ion backup battery supports flexible deployment and operational continuity. The system is certified to IEC/EN 60601-1 (Safety), IEC/EN 60601-1-2 (EMC), FCC, UL/cUL, CB, UKCA, and CCC.

With its built-in NFC module and optional 5.0M camera, Imprivata® RFID authentication, 2D barcode scanner, and wireless connectivity, the HID-2146 is designed for a wide range of healthcare applications, including nursing stations, bedside care, clinical documentation, medical imaging workstations such as ultrasound and endoscopy, and AI-assisted workflow management.

This award reinforces Avalue dedication to advancing medical computing technology through innovation and engineering expertise. Avalue will continue to work closely with healthcare providers, medical equipment manufacturers, and system integrators to drive the digital transformation of healthcare.
