Integrated with advanced NPUs and high-performance GPUs, these systems are optimized for real-time data processing at the edge. We bridge complex AI workloads with resilient hardware design, ensuring seamless thermal management and high-speed I/O for the most demanding environments.
Rackmount Servers
Scalable 1U, 2U, 3U, and 4U rackmount systems engineered for industrial edge core computing. Available as L6 barebone platforms or L10 fully integrated systems, these units are built around our high-reliability motherboards. We ensure optimized thermal efficiency and robust signal integrity to support intensive workloads and mission-critical deployments without compromise.
Panel PCs, POs, and Open Frame
Versatile display solutions ranging from medical and industrial-grade touch Panel PCs to open-frame displays for kiosks and automation. We offer comprehensive customization for system performance, ruggedized mounting designs, and specialized expansion interfaces. Each HMI is purpose-built to deliver a highly responsive and durable user interface tailored to your specific environment.
Types of Custom Design
Flexible architectural solutions tailored to your technical depth and timeline.
Semi-Custom
Modify our existing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) industrial motherboards and barebone systems. The fastest path to market with minimal NRE costs and lower risk.
Turnkey Systems
Level 10 complete system integration. We deliver fully assembled, ready-to-deploy systems including custom enclosures and certifications.
Full Custom Design
A ground-up ODM design. We engineer the exact motherboard geometry, component placement, and chipset configuration your unique application demands.
The Custom ODM Design Workflow
A systematic 6-phase approach ensuring seamless transition from concept to mass production.
Project Initiation & Scoping
We align our engineering teams with your product goals. We gather all requirements to create a comprehensive roadmap for your custom motherboard or system.
- Requirements Gathering: In-depth consultation to define electrical, mechanical, and ID requirements.
- Feasibility Study: Technical evaluation to ensure the proposed design is viable and cost-effective.
- Budget & Timeline: Detailed NRE estimation, unit cost projection, and schedule planning.
- Documentation (PRD): Finalizing the Product Requirement Document as the blueprint for development.
Engineering Design & Development
This phase transforms the finalized Requirements Document into a technical blueprint, aligning engineering outputs with your production timeline.
- Engineering Outputs: Development of schematics, PCB layouts (Gerber files), and functional test plans.
- Mechanical Design: Creation of 3D drawings, ID design, and initiation of long-lead tooling.
- BOM Management: Identification of key components and pre-kitting of long-lead materials for prototypes.
- Project Governance: Regular review meetings and rigorous version control for all specification revisions.
Prototyping & Validation
We produce and test pre-production units to ensure the design is reliable, compliant, and ready for its intended application.
- Alpha Prototyping (EVT): Delivery of initial units for core functionality testing, proof of concept, and customer demos.
- Design Validation (DVT): Testing of refined units—assembled from final tooled parts for system projects—to verify performance and reliability.
- Application Testing: Collaborative validation with the customer to ensure the design meets all real-world requirements.
- Quality Assurance: All results are rigorously documented within a formal Functional Test Plan.
Testing & Certification
Rigorous environmental and functional testing in our specialized labs to ensure the custom system withstands extreme conditions and meets compliance.
- Environmental Testing: Thermal cycling, vibration, and shock testing to guarantee ruggedness.
- EMI/EMC Compliance: Pre-scan and formal testing for FCC, CE, and other regional electromagnetic standards.
- Industry Certifications: Managing specific regulatory approvals such as UL or ISO 13485 for medical devices.
- Final Validation (PVT): Production Validation Testing to verify the assembly process before mass manufacturing.
Mass Production
Smooth transition to our global manufacturing facilities, handling component procurement, assembly, and strict quality control.
- Supply Chain Mgmt: Strategic component sourcing and inventory allocation to prevent shortages.
- SMT & Assembly: High-precision PCB manufacturing and final Box-Build assembly at ISO-certified facilities.
- Quality Control (QA): 100% functional testing, burn-in processes, and strict outgoing quality inspections.
- Logistics & Fulfillment: Customized packaging, drop-shipping, and global distribution management.
Lifecycle Management
Proactive support and component tracking to guarantee your OEM product lines remain stable and consistent for up to 15 years.
- Revision Control: Strict Engineering Change Order (ECO) management to lock down the bill of materials.
- EOL Monitoring: Advanced notification of End-of-Life components through formal Product Change Notifications (PCN).
- Supply Continuity: Offering Last-Time-Buy (LTB) programs or drop-in redesigns to extend product lifespan.
- Long-Term Support: Ongoing firmware updates, troubleshooting, and dedicated post-sales technical assistance.
