CE-Certified OPS PC Modules: AIOSTAR OPS, OPS-C & Android

Why CE-Certified OPS PC Selection Matters

An OPS PC is a slot-in computer module that brings processing, graphics, operating system and application software to an interactive display. For display brands and system integrators, the procurement problem is not simply finding a small PC; it is finding a module that matches the display slot, meets the thermal and power budget, carries the right certifications for the target market, and can be configured for a specific project without changing the display design.

CE-certified OPS PC manufacturers are important because the EU market requires radio and safety compliance for products with wireless or computing functions. Buyers at the research and evaluation stage should verify certification numbers, form factor dimensions, processor options, I/O configur ability, sample policy and lead time before committing to a module.

OPS and OPS-C: Industry Background

The Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) is an interface standard from Intel that standardizes the mechanical and electrical connection between a display and a media-player computer. The original Intel OPS design uses a unified 80-pin JAE connector and a module footprint of 180mm x 119mm x 30mm.

The OPS-C variant is widely adopted in the Chinese domestic market for educational interactive whiteboards. Industry references and AIOSTAR product documentation list typical OPS-C dimensions of 180.8mm x 195.2mm x 42.5mm. The two form factors are not mechanically interchangeable, so the display slot determines which module type can be used.

According to Grand View Research, the global interactive flat panel market was valued at approximately USD 12.6 billion in 2024, and the global industrial PC market was estimated at USD 6.48 billion in the same year. An IFPD market trends report also estimates that OPS-slot compute modules and Android-based SoC modules ship in 15-25% of new interactive flat-panel display units.

The AIOSTAR OPS and OPS-C product family linked to this certification group includes the AOS-SOHAUF41SC, AOS-SOR358464H, AOS-SOH61I41SXG and AOS-SOZK6A341SXGE.

Step-by-Step Selection Process for a Custom OPS PC Module

Selecting a CE-certified OPS PC module is a repeatable engineering and procurement process. AIOSTAR uses the following evaluation path for interactive display projects.

• Confirm the slot standard. Determine whether the display uses Intel OPS or OPS-C. The connector, mechanical envelope and retention mechanism must match the display slot.
• Choose the compute platform. Intel Alder Lake-U suits Windows education and meeting applications. Rockchip RK3588 suits Android, Linux and edge-AI workloads. Zhaoxin KX-6780 supports domestic-platform projects.
• Define the display output. Confirm resolution, refresh rate and video interface requirements. A 4K OPS PC Module is the common baseline; 8K output depends on CPU, GPU, firmware and display configuration.
• Verify compliance. Request the exact certification numbers for the target market. For the EU, AIOSTAR can provide CE-RED certificate 25ITC1212094 and RoHS Declaration of Compliance 25ITC1212100.
• Set the customization scope. AIOSTAR supports customization of CPU platform, memory, storage, I/O, chassis size, cooling solution, BIOS functions, operating system image, logo, packaging, power adapter and cables.
• Validate with samples, then scale. Evaluation sample MOQ is 1 unit. Customized project MOQ depends on configuration. Monthly capacity is 5000+ units and lead time is 60 days.

The company reports an annual output of more than 170,000 units, with around 60% exported to global markets.

Quality control includes incoming material inspection, functional and interface testing for finished units, and burn-in testing when specified. Temperature, humidity, vibration and drop testing can be arranged according to project requirements. After-sales support includes remote technical assistance, BIOS and operating system help, driver assistance, and a one-year warranty unless otherwise agreed in the quotation or proforma invoice.

Practical Limitations to Plan Around

• Intel OPS and OPS-C modules are not mechanically interchangeable. The display slot determines which module can be used.
• 8K output is not guaranteed by the module alone. It depends on CPU, GPU, firmware, interface configuration and the connected display.
• Optional discrete graphics are project-based and add power and cooling constraints that must be confirmed before mass production.
• Listed CE-RED and RoHS certifications apply to the EU market and to the specified product group. Other target markets require separate compliance validation.
