BVM Portable Pelicase PC – Integrated Electronics and Rich I/O
A Portable, Ruggedized PC Solution with touchscreen interactivity, custom electronics and rich I/O integrated into a Pelicase iM2300 housing.
This design and configuration is an example of a solution we’ve produced for one of our customers and will hopefully serve to provide you with an idea of what we can produce. See our Build to Order: Rugged Portable Peli Case PC page for more information.
Description
Commercial & Military Aviation :- Fuel Pressure & Flow Monitor
Integrated electronics in a ruggedized Pelicase iM2300 housing
Design Requirements
- For BVM to design & manufacture a ruggedized & upgraded version of the client’s current portable Fuel Pressure & Flow Monitor – incorporating their custom monitoring electronic’ components to provide valve control and pressure transmittance data for acquisition of flow.
- Provision of a fast access system for internal maintenance (calibration) purposes.
- Responsibility for procurement, manufacturing, QA and logistical processes for production builds. Previously, our client had been taking care of individual component procurement & commercial pricing with their own supply chain, free issue of components to a 3rd party subcontractor for system build, quality assurance of finished product and associated logistical operations.
Commercial & Military Aviation : Fuel Pressure & Flow Monitor
The portable system is used for on-site testing for monitoring & maintenance concerning airport fuel line hydrants, detecting changes in the overall fuel line pressure, via analysis of pressure variation over higher & lower pressures to confirm the ‘tightness’ of a test section.

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.
The above design and configuration is an example of a solution we’ve produced for one of our customers and
will hopefully serve to provide you with an idea of what we can produce.
Why do customers choose our Peli case solutions?
- They’re a great alternative to rugged laptops or tablets – providing better protection, specific 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.
Available Options
Here’s just a selection of parameters we can tailor around your solution :-
- Use of Pelicase’s wide range of solution sizes to suit all footprint requirements
- Up to date computing processors platforms ranging from low power Intel Atom to desktop versions of Intel Core i7 (up to 65W TDP)
- LCD displays in sizes from 7.0” to 21” with resistive or pCAP touch interactivity
