Quite often, our PC solutions are required to drive and control a display to provide a visual output; whether that’s the need to simply read & understand data output or providing a means of interaction (HMI) for the control and interrogation of parameters.
Particularly for user interaction, we can advise and provide single point touch through to ‘pinch’, ‘zoom’ - and multipoint gesturing. And depending on where your display needs to be situated, we can accommodate for ambient lighting conditions with the application of anti-glare or anti-reflective coatings, optical bonding and upgrading of backlighting to provide for a brighter display.
Whether you need your display choice supplying as solitary component or a ‘bolt in’ solution, with your choice of display integrated with motherboard, deployed choice of embedded O/S, LVDS and backlight cabling - fully configured and tested, we’ll provide you with exactly you what you need.
Quite often it’s the case that no matter which industrial PC solution you’re aiming to design in - or already utilise, it never quite has all the i/o that you’d ideally want.
Whether you need additional i/o around communications (multiple PoE, Canbus, GbE LAN, DIO or RS232/422/485,), Storage (multiple SATA 3, USB 3.0 or M.2) or display output (multiple HDMI, DVI-D, VGA or 18/24 bit LVDS) - we’ll have an expansion solution via mPCIe, PCIe or M.2 that’ll suit your needs.
Additionally, we can provide video capture solutions from SD through to 4K, with hardware compression or in raw data format via PCIe, PCI, M.2 and mPCIe - all ably backed up with up to date SDK’s (software development kits) to allow users to develop their own application or features at a rapid pace.

Printed receipts and documents are all around us in our everyday lives. Thermal printers and thermal print mechanisms are small, light and consume little power, making them ideal for portable and retail applications. Commercial applications for thermal printers include petrol station pump receipts, information kiosks, point-of-sale systems, voucher printers, ticket machines, hospital cardiac monitors, vending machines, lottery terminals and ATMs, panel printers and kiosk printers - the list of possible applications is many.
To help you BVM can supply a wide variety of thermal printers to produce the printed receipt that’s right for your application - including 2”, 3” and 4” printer mechanisms, control boards and control chips to help you integrate a low cost print solution directly into your application.
Alternatively, panel printers and kiosk printers to ‘bolt’ a finished solution into your product. And for people on the move, 2”, 3” and 4” battery powered portable printers - even in vehicle-powered mobile printers for printing up to A4-width.
Quite often, we’re the manufacturer behind the solutions you know
Whether we’re utilising our own manufacturing & production facilities here in Southampton – or our ecosystem of partners in Asia, BVM can cope with any size or complexity of batch manufacturing. Our production team are highly motivated with a flexible “can do” attitude ensuring consistent quality and on-time delivery.
