Portable, Ruggedized PC Solutions with Touchscreen Interactivity…….
For those customers looking for a ruggedized PC solution, robust in its design whilst still remaining light in weight for portability, BVM offer our Peli Case PC design and manufacturing services to provide a ‘system in a case’. Over the many years that BVM have been providing these services, we’ve found no one design is the same as another, so the service we provide for this area of embedded PC design really is specialist and tailored to your exact needs & application.
Unfortunately, these services are not provided to cater for ‘one off’ requirements. They commence with you providing us with a requirement specification around what you need, which will lead onto further technical & commercial discussions and the mutual development of a prototype for you test & sign off against – leading on to the eventual provision of production units.
Why do customers choose our Peli case solutions?
- They’re a great alternative to rugged laptops or tablets – providing better protection, IP rating (if required) and space for custom electronics and selectable I/O.
- They’re a good solution for combining instrumentation and computing in one rugged and portable package
- Good value where a bespoke – rugged embedded computer solution with HMI is being sought, one that can be protected from its immediate environment.
