Industrial PC Design: From Concept to Manufacturing
At BVM, we focus on the design and manufacturing of industrial PCs for various industries. With 35+ years of experience, we turn innovative ideas into reliable, high-performance products. Our ‘Design to Order’ services take your concept from design to a manufacturable solution, ensuring quality and functionality.
Our adaptable OEM processes suit a variety of applications, including extreme and specialized environments. We deliver robust, IP-certified products that are shock-resistant, dustproof, and waterproof, designed for 24/7 operation. Trust BVM for your industrial and embedded computer design needs.
“BVM’s Embedded ‘Industrial PC Design to Order’ services takes your ideas from initial concept through to design, prototyping, and finally, manufacturable products“
1. Custom Solutions for Any Environment
Our OEM “Design to Order” solutions cater to a wide range of industrial application areas, including harsh and hazardous environments. We deliver IP-certified designs that are shock-resistant, dustproof, waterproof, and optimized for continuous 24/7 operation.
2. Product Longevity
Choosing the right Industrial PC components ensures long-term availability, typically 5–7 years. BVM extends this lifespan and streamlines transitions to next-generation components with effective materials management.
3. Our Design Process
We begin with a ‘Requirement Specification’ to define:
- Functionality & key features
- Aesthetics & user experience
- Market competitiveness & budget
- Time to market
With 35+ years of expertise, our ‘Build to Order’ team optimizes:
- Component longevity & obsolescence management
- Power & thermal management
- Manufacturability & testability
4. From Design to Proof of Concept
After approval, we develop initial designs leading to a working Proof of Concept (PoC). The PoC validates functionality, aesthetics, and budget early, ensuring a smooth path to a successful final product.
5. Pre-Production and Field Testing
Following the PoC, we produce pre-production and field trial prototypes to validate manufacturability and testability. Our entire process is governed by BVM’s Quality Management System, certified to ISO-9001:2015 standards.
“A successful product requires not only competent functional design,
but also must be designed for manufacture”
BVM Products are Designed for Manufacture
Design for Manufacture (Design for Manufacturability or DFM) is the engineering process of designing products to ensure they’re efficient to manufacture.
Our design team plan a level of detail during both the initial concept and prototype phases – well before any level of product volume is reached. During the initial design processes, the design will be refined and honed along the way to make it suitable for repeatable production.
Our designs will always consider:
- Set up and tooling costs
- Volume production costs
- Maintenance costs
- Environmental effects
BVM’s Design for Manufacture processes will always allow every commercial (and technical) consideration to be identified within design phase, the most cost-effective place to catch & address everything.
Our industrial and embedded product design-to-order projects have included:
- Advanced PCI Express peripherals and expansion bridges.
- High specification PCI Express splitter devices to allow multiple devices to be driven from standard embedded motherboards
- Baseboards for Computer-on-Module processor boards, such as COM Express and Qseven implementing customers I/O & display requirements onto the baseboard and allowing processing to be handled by a standard module.
