Beijing Kangtai Bokong Technology Co., Ltd.(KTB) - a well-known name in the industrial computer space - just wrapped up a successful run at productronica China 2026. The company brought some serious flagship products to the show, but the real stars were two brand-new embedded industrial computers making their global debut: the KTB-178 industrial computer and KTB-1711 industrial computer. Built specifically for rail transit metro gate systems, these devices were tailored to fit both domestic and international market needs - from technical setups to how they work in real-world scenarios. Unsurprisingly, they became an instant hit with everyone at the exhibition.

KTB is a high-tech firm that focuses on R&D, production, and expanding overseas with its industrial control computers. They've spent years deep in rail transit, industrial automation, and similar sectors - and that experience has made them a go-to partner for businesses around the world.

Because their products are reliable, and they offer comprehensive customized industrial computer service. For this show, KTB really focused on what overseas users care about most. They highlighted industrial computer solutions made just for rail transit use cases.

Let's talk about the KTB-178 industrial computer first. It's KTB's flagship model, crafted specifically for metro gate setups - and performance and reliability are at its core. Under the hood, it runs on an Intel Elkhart Lake industrial PC chipset with an Intel J6412 industrial computer processor. Pair that with a high-performance wide voltage industrial computer architecture and a fanless embedded industrial computer design, and it fits right into the messy, complex environments of rail transit systems. Memory-wise, it has one DDR4 SODIMM slot that can expand up to 32GB - so it's a 32GB expandable industrial computer that handles multiple tasks at once without breaking a sweat. The display side? 2 times VGA ports (compatible with VGA/LVDS), so you can hook it up to multiple display terminals at the same time. And with two Gigabit adaptive network industrial computer cards, data transfers are fast, and the network stays stable.

Interfaces and expandability: 14 COM port industrial PC (2 of which support RS232/422/485), 4 times USB 3.0 ports, and 2 times USB 2.0 ports. That covers every multi-device connection you'd need for gate functions - QR code scanning, ticketing, control systems, you name it.

Power & Stability: DC 9~36V industrial computer wide-voltage input, handles voltage fluctuations and temperature changes common in rail transit settings. The result? Reliable 24/7 reliable industrial computer operation.

Then there's the KTB-1711 industrial computer, launched right alongside the KTB-178. It's a great addition to KTB's rail transit product range, offering fantastic value for money and really strong adaptability. Built on an Intel Bay Trail embedded computer chipset with an Intel J1900 embedded PC processor, it keeps the best parts of the KTB-178: fanless embedded industrial computer design and wide voltage industrial computer support. That makes it perfect for the 24/7 grind of metro gate systems. Memory-wise, it has one DDR3L SODIMM slot (max 8GB) - more than enough to run the basic operations of a subway gate intelligent terminal. The display interface is flexible too: 3 times VGA ports (compatible with LVDS/VGA) that work with all kinds of display devices. And just like the KTB-178, it has two Gigabit network cards to keep communication steady.

Interfaces on the KTB-1711 are just as rich as the KTB-178: 14 COM port industrial PC, 4 times USB 3.0 ports, and 2 times USB 2.0 ports. So it connects smoothly to all the peripherals you'd use with a gate system. The SATA 3.0 industrial embedded PC hard drive interface, combined with that wide voltage industrial computer design, makes it tough as nails in harsh environment industrial PC conditions - high temperatures, humidity, electromagnetic interference, you name it. That's why it's such a top pick for mid-to-low-end rail transit projects overseas.

During the exhibition, KTB's technical team was on hand for one-on-one consulting. They answered all the big questions from overseas customers: things like multi-language industrial computer support, SEO-optimized product documentation, and custom interface development. As an OEM industrial computer manufacturer and ODM embedded PC supplier, they walked clients through everything - how the products adapt to domestic and international markets, after-sales maintenance, and the whole OEM/ODM customization process - all centered around those two new embedded industrial computers. It's no wonder businesses from Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond took notice. European rail transit industrial PC supplier partners, Southeast Asia metro gate industrial computer buyers, and Middle East harsh environment industrial PC clients were all eager to talk cooperation right there on the spot. It's a solid foundation for KTB to expand further into overseas markets as a trusted overseas industrial control brand.

A KTB representative summed it up: the success at productronica China 2026 and the strong debut of these two new products are key steps in making sure the company aligns with how overseas users search and what they need from the market. Moving forward, KTB will keep focusing on core areas like rail transit. They'll refine product designs and beef up technical services based on feedback from overseas markets. And they plan to launch more products - like industrial PC for rail transit and rugged embedded computer models - that meet global standards. Ultimately, they want to help Chinese industrial control brands make deeper inroads into the international market, with top-notch embedded PC for rail transit and rail transit automation industrial PC solutions leading the way.
