While much of the hype around AI centers on consumer applications, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is undergoing a major transformation driven by real-time insights, autonomy, and predictive analytics. These capabilities are helping the industrial sector boost productivity, streamline operations, and reduce costs. It’s no wonder that IIoT applications are growing rapidly, with a projected CAGR of 24.7% over the next eight years.
To unlock the latest IIoT capabilities, OEMs and developers need reliable, high-performance, and energy-efficient silicon designed for intelligent edge applications.
A silicon portfolio built for IIoT
MediaTek Genio empowers IIoT developers and designers looking to create intelligent, differentiated products. Our portfolio is designed to meet a broad range of performance and power requirements, from low-power edge devices to premium AI-enabled systems.
On the value-tier side, our solutions support low-power IIoT devices with a balance of multimedia support, efficiency, and versatility. Our mainstream platforms take performance to the next level with advanced generative AI, neural processing, and high-performance compute. For more demanding industrial AI workloads, our new MediaTek Genio Pro series has rewritten what’s possible for intelligent industrial systems.
Industrial systems, upgraded
Let’s explore three key IIoT segments that MediaTek Genio powers:
- HMI: Advanced industrial HMI displays rely on smooth, responsive graphics performance paired with the latest display technologies. MediaTek Genio Pro 5100 supports triple 4K60 displays, enabling OEMs to power immersive multi-screen control panels, dashboards, and industrial visualization experiences. With 3.1 TFLOPs of GPU compute, the platform delivers the graphics performance needed for advanced industrial visualization and responsive user experiences. MediaTek also enables next-generation HMIs with advanced voice and gesture controls, alongside AI-driven capabilities such as predictive analytics, for more intelligent industrial workflows and operational insights.
- Robotics: Promising immense gains in productivity, worker safety, and operational accuracy, robotics is driving the next wave of intelligent industrial automation. MediaTek Genio Pro 5100’s powerful AI processing, including over 50 TOPS of system-level generative AI acceleration, enables advanced autonomous capabilities for industrial robotics. MediaTek also enables wireless, lightweight, and fanless robotic designs with our compact, energy-efficient chipsets, helping robotics platforms go farther, operate longer, and reduce overall system weight. Support for industrial operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C also helps robotics platforms operate reliably in demanding environments.
- Gateways and PLCs: Critical for managing sensor input, industrial control systems, and manufacturing processes, MediaTek Genio supports the latest generation of gateways and PLCs with compact, fanless designs built for high reliability. MediaTek also supports integrated TSN and optional low-latency wireless connectivity for real‑time process control. High-performance edge processing enables predictive maintenance analytics, helping organizations identify potential issues earlier, reduce downtime, and improve operational efficiency.
A new generation of AI-ready IIoT applications
With customer appetite for real-time connectivity, intelligence, and automation continuing to rise, demand for advanced IIoT capabilities will only accelerate. MediaTek is helping OEMs, developers, and manufacturers build the next generation of intelligent industrial systems with high-performance, energy-efficient platforms designed for AI-driven edge applications.
