OPS PC Modules Explained: AIOSTAR OPS, OPS-C, and Android Solutions
OPS PC Modules Explained: AIOSTAR OPS, OPS-C, and Android Solutions
An OPS PC is a slot-in computer module designed for commercial displays and interactive flat panels. Intel's Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) standardizes a mechanical and electrical interface between displays and media players using a unified 80-pin JAE connector and a footprint of 180 mm x 119 mm x 30 mm. Shenzhen Aiostar Electronics Co., Ltd. (AIOSTAR) is a computer hardware supplier established in 2015 in Shenzhen, China, that develops, produces, and supplies OPS PCs, OPS-C pluggable computer modules, Android OPS PCs, industrial motherboards, mini PCs, BOX PCs, industrial panel PCs, servers, and customized embedded computing systems. For buyers of interactive whiteboards, conference displays, digital signage, and video walls, AIOSTAR's OPS PC line covers Intel, Android/Linux, and domestic-platform compute options.
Why OPS PC modules are a separate procurement decision
Displays and computers have different lifecycles. A panel can remain in service for many years while its processor, operating system, and media features need to be upgraded sooner. An OPS PC reduces this mismatch by placing the computer in a standardized slot that can be serviced or replaced independently. For procurement teams, the practical benefits are modular replacement, simpler logistics, and a lower need to redesign the display chassis when the processor changes. The main risk is mechanical: an OPS module and a display slot must use the same standard and connector.
Industry background: modular compute is embedded into the display market
The global Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) market, a primary application for OPS PC modules, was valued at approximately USD 12.6 billion in 2024, according to Grand View Research. The global Industrial Personal Computer (PC) market, which includes industrial-grade OPS modules, was estimated at USD 6.48 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.30% through 2032. Industry reporting from IFPD Market Trends estimates that integrated OPS-slot compute modules and Android-based SoC modules ship in 15–25% of new interactive flat-panel display units. These signals explain why OPS PC selection has become part of display procurement rather than an afterthought.
OPS vs OPS-C: what procurement teams need to know
Intel's OPS standard defines a unified 80-pin JAE connector and a footprint of 180 mm x 119 mm x 30 mm. The OPS-C standard is a variant widely adopted in the Chinese domestic market for educational interactive whiteboards, typically featuring dimensions of 180.8 mm x 195.2 mm x 42.5 mm. An OPS module designed for one standard should be matched with a display slot designed for the same standard. Before mass production, the mechanical size, connector pinout, display resolution, cooling, and operating system image need to be verified.

Step-by-step approach to selecting an AIOSTAR OPS PC
- Confirm the OPS slot standard. Determine whether the target display uses Intel OPS (80-pin JAE connector, 180 mm x 119 mm x 30 mm) or OPS-C (typically 180.8 mm x 195.2 mm x 42.5 mm). The module must match the display slot.
- Choose the processor and operating system. For Windows-based x86 projects, Intel OPS PC or OPS-C models such as AOS-SOH61I41SXG and AOS-SOHAUF41SC are relevant. For Android/Linux projects, the AOS-SOR358464H supports Android 13, Ubuntu, or Debian. For domestic-platform projects, the Zhaoxin KX-6780 series OPS-C computer is available.
- Match video output to the panel resolution. The AOS-SOH61I41SXG supports up to 8K 60 Hz depending on configuration; the AOS-SOR358464H supports up to 8K multimedia depending on firmware and interface configuration. Confirm codec and resolution with the display manufacturer.
- Configure memory, storage, I/O, and OS image. SO-DIMM memory, M.2 SSD, eMMC storage, project I/O, and operating system image can be configured per project.
- Plan power and thermal requirements. If the module operates continuously, confirm the cooling solution and check features such as Wake-on-LAN, auto power-on, and watchdog functions available via BIOS configuration on selected models.
- Use OEM/ODM services to lock the final BOM. Hardware configuration, I/O, chassis, cooling, BIOS, OS image, logo, packaging, and accessories can be finalized with AIOSTAR's sales and engineering team.

Conclusion
AIOSTAR operates as a specialist OPS PC and embedded computing supplier rather than a consumer device brand. Its procurement value lies in a focused product portfolio that spans Intel OPS PC modules, OPS-C computer modules, Android AI OPS modules, and domestic-platform OPS-C computers, plus OEM and ODM services for hardware configuration, BIOS, OS image, and mechanical design. The practical limitation is that public materials do not include pricing or named customer case studies, so selection should be validated with a configuration-based quote and a sample matched to the target display. For display OEMs, integrators, and project-based buyers, the next step is to send the display model and compute requirements to AIOSTAR for a specific OPS PC recommendation.
