Description

The following design and configuration is purely an example of a potential solution. It is designed to showcase the level of performance and functionality we can integrate into a portable system and will hopefully serve to provide you with an idea of what we can produce.

 

Concept Overview: A High-Power Portable Workstation

This example configuration demonstrates a portable workstation designed for users who need desktop-level performance and expansion capabilities in a rugged, transportable format. The concept is built around a versatile Mini-ITX or uATX computing platform, capable of housing a processor with up to a 65W TDP.The design challenge for such a system is managing the power and thermal requirements of high-performance components within an enclosed space. This concept includes robust fan-based cooling and the integration of a full-sized 21″ FHD display and keyboard, effectively creating a complete, self-contained workstation that can be deployed anywhere with access to AC power.

Potential Applications & Deployment

A system with this level of performance is ideal for a wide range of field-based applications where standard rugged laptops or tablets lack the necessary power or expansion slots. Potential use cases include:

  • On-site Data Analysis: Running complex simulations or processing large datasets directly at the source.
  • Mobile Network & RF Analysis: Housing specialized PCIe test and measurement cards for field diagnostics.
  • Portable Command & Control: Serving as a temporary, high-performance node for communications or surveillance.
  • Field-Based Software Commissioning: Deploying and testing resource-intensive industrial or machine vision software on-site.

Key Features of This Example Configuration

  • Desktop-Class Performance: Supports Mini-ITX or uATX motherboards, allowing for powerful CPUs with up to a 65W TDP.
  • Hardware Expansion: Provides two PCIe / PCI expansion slots for integrating specialized, full-size function cards.
  • All-in-One Design: Integrates a large 21” Full HD LCD and a built-in keyboard, creating a complete workstation.
  • AC Powered: Designed to run directly from mains power for sustained, high-performance operation.
  • Environmental Protection: The unit is designed to be dust and splash-proof when closed for safe transportation.

Ruggedized Portable Workstation Solutions with touchscreen interactivity…….

For customers requiring a robust PC that is ruggedized by design yet remains lightweight and portable, BVM offers a specialist design and manufacturing service to create your ideal ‘system in a case’. We understand that no two applications are the same. Our service is entirely tailored to your exact technical and environmental requirements, ensuring you get a solution that is fit for purpose, reliable, and built to last.

Why Choose a BVM Custom Solution?

Customers choose our bespoke solutions as a superior alternative to off-the-shelf rugged laptops or tablets. Our Peli Case PCs offer:

  • Superior Protection: Provides better protection against impact and vibration, with custom IP ratings available to protect against dust and water ingress.
  • Integrated Systems: A perfect solution for combining specialized instrumentation, computing hardware, and I/O into a single, cohesive, and portable package.
  • Bespoke by Design: Where a standard rugged computer won’t meet the need, we deliver a custom-engineered solution with the exact HMI, performance, and connectivity you require.

Extensive Customisation Options

We can tailor almost any parameter to meet your project’s needs. Here is a selection of available options:

  • Peli Case Enclosures: Utilise Peli’s wide range of case sizes to suit any footprint or equipment requirement.
  • Processing Power: Integrate modern computing platforms, from low-power Intel Atom to high-performance desktop Intel Core i7 processors (up to 65W TDP).
  • LCD & Touchscreens: Choose from display sizes ranging from 7.0” to 21” with either resistive or PCAP touch interactivity for your HMI.
  • Connectivity: Integrate the latest in wireless technology, including LTE (4G/5G), Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.
  • Storage & Expansion: A variety of Solid State Drive (SSD) options and internal expansion slots (mPCI-E, M.2, PCI-Express) are available.
  • Custom Electronics: We can integrate electronics provided by you or design and manufacture custom controller boards in-house.
  • Bespoke Fascias & Cabling: Custom-milled internal and external fascias to provide the exact I/O and user interactivity you need, supported by custom internal cabling.
  • Enhanced Security: Solutions can be made tamper-proof with locking mechanisms and a choice of handle grips.
  • Long-Term Availability: We focus on product reliability and ensure lifetime availability for your system, often exceeding 5 years.

Our Collaborative Design Process

Our service is geared towards creating production-ready solutions. While we cannot cater for ‘one-off’ projects, we provide a structured, collaborative process for our partners:

  1. Requirement Specification: The process begins with you providing a specification of your needs.
  2. Technical & Commercial Discussion: We work with you to refine the design and scope.
  3. Prototyping: A prototype is developed for your testing, evaluation, and final sign-off.
  4. Production: Following approval, we move to the full production of your units.
