BIOSTAR, a leading manufacturer of consumer and industrial motherboards, edge computing solutions, graphics cards, and storage devices, today introduced the BIWCL-PAT industrial motherboard. Powered by Intel Core Series 3 (Wildcat Lake) processors, the BIWCL-PAT brings triple independent displays, high-speed NVMe storage expansion, and versatile wired and wireless connectivity into a small-form-factor platform. Designed for system integrators, it supports applications across industrial automation, AIoT, and edge computing, as well as human-machine interfaces (HMI), POS systems, and self-service kiosks.
With a 148 × 102 mm footprint, the BIWCL-PAT is built for integration into space-constrained equipment. It supports processor options from Intel Core 3 to Intel Core 7, and its single DDR5-6400 SO-DIMM slot supports up to 64 GB of memory, providing capacity for multitasking and local data processing. This combination gives developers a solid foundation for systems that bring computing closer to factory equipment, retail terminals, and networked devices.
Display support runs through LVDS, HDMI, and DisplayPort, letting one platform drive multiple screens with different content. HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 each support 4K resolution at 60 Hz, while the LVDS interface drives embedded panels at up to 1920 × 1200. Industrial operators can use separate displays for control interfaces, equipment status, and operational data, while POS and kiosk developers can combine operator screens with customer-facing information.
Three dedicated M.2 slots support storage, cellular, and wireless expansion. The Key-M slot accommodates 2242/2280 NVMe SSDs through PCIe 4.0 x2, while a Key-B slot supports 4G/5G modules with an onboard SIM slot. A Key-E slot supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules. Dual Intel 2.5Gb LAN ports, powered by Intel I226-LM and I226-V controllers, add reliable wired networking for always-on connectivity.
