Success Stories: BVM Industrial PCs in Harsh Environments
Operating in harsh industrial conditions requires systems that can withstand dust, moisture, vibration, salt spray, wide temperature swings and other extremes. Standard computers simply aren’t built for this. That’s why our rugged computing solutions at BVM are trusted across multiple sectors for delivering reliable, high‑performance computing where it matters most.
Here are five real‑world examples of BVM Industrial PCs in Harsh Environments.
1. Marine Certified Touchscreen Panel PC Solution
Our client required a 15″ marine‑certified touchscreen panel PC suitable for ship‑refit operations — exposed to salt water, humidity, vibration and temperature extremes. This project highlights how specialised industrial PCs can thrive in marine/offshore settings, reinforcing the value of deploying industrial computers purpose‑built for harsh environments.
2. Vehicle‑Mounted Panel PC for Construction Applications
In an environment such as heavy construction equipment, computers are exposed to vibration, dust, and operator‑vehicle interface demands. Our vehicle‑mounted panel PC solution delivered reliable performance in these tough conditions, improving operator safety and uptime by providing systems designed for harsh industrial contexts.
3. Portable PC for Ocean and Coastal Surveying
Surveying operations on vessels and coastal installations often face salt‑laden air, moisture, motion and remote deployment. Our ruggedised portable PC solution was built for these exact conditions, managing control and monitoring of remotely‑operated vehicles (ROVs) in what would be considered a harsh, hazardous environment.
4. IoT Gateway Device for Remote Monitoring Applications
A global OEM tasked us with designing a small rugged IoT gateway device for remote installations — conditions included long lifecycles, remote access, and harsh environmental exposure. This demonstrates how industrial PCs and embedded systems can be tailored to succeed in challenging contexts that standard IT hardware simply could not handle.
5. Road Traffic Control – Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
A client providing traffic and parking systems required a robust Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to monitor bus lanes, yellow box junctions, and red routes in towns and cities across the UK and USA. BVM designed a custom chassis and OS image to ensure reliable operation in harsh urban environments where temperature fluctuations, vibration from vehicles, and continuous 24/7 operation are common. This project highlights how industrial PCs can deliver consistent performance in demanding transport and smart city applications.
