Introduction
Space inside electrical enclosures is expensive. Every centimetre matters when you are designing a Kiosk terminal or a Smart City panel. The IWILL NANO series answers the question: “How small can an industrial computer be without losing functionality?”
Whether it is for a Digital Signage installation behind an advertising display or for an Edge IoT Gateway on a DIN rail – the NANO series delivers industrial quality in a pocket-sized form factor.
Why do engineers choose NANO?
Three reasons why the NANO series is the preferred choice for compact industrial projects:
1. Install anywhere (Versatile Mounting)
NANO computers are barely larger than a standard smartphone. This allows flexible mounting that is impossible with standard PCs:
DIN Rail
Direct mounting in automation enclosures alongside circuit breakers and relays.
VESA Mount
Concealed mounting behind monitors for Digital Signage solutions.
2. Energy Efficiency and Edge Computing
The NANO series is optimised for low power consumption (Low TDP). This makes it ideal for:
IoT Gateways
Collecting sensor data and forwarding it to the cloud (Azure/AWS). Ideal for Edge Computing projects.
24/7 Operation at Scale
Low electricity bills are critical for large-scale deployments (e.g. 1,000+ info points across a retail chain).
3. Connectivity despite the size
Do not be fooled by the small volume. The NANO series often includes:
Dual LAN
To separate internet traffic from the internal network
4K HDMI
4K video support for advertising displays
USB 3.0
For fast data transfer and peripherals
Ideal for
Digital Signage players
Behind advertising screens in shopping centres and airports. The compact form factor allows VESA mounting directly behind the display.
Smart Kiosks
ATMs, vending machines and self-service systems where space is limited.
Home Lab / Office
As a discreet workstation that takes up no desk space. Also ideal for pfSense / OPNsense routers.
IoT & Smart City
Edge Gateway for collecting sensor data in smart cities and energy projects.

Conclusion
When space is limited but reliability is essential – the NANO series delivers industrial quality in a miniature package.
From Intel Celeron for budget projects to Core Ultra for high-performance Edge AI tasks – the NANO series covers the full spectrum of requirements without compromising on size.
