BVM has been in the business of designing, manufacturing and providing industrial PC solutions for over 30 years – and have learned quite a few things along the way. So often the case, the focus can be on producing the most complex component of the solution – so it’s easy to overlook other fundamental parts that can affect the performance of the overall design.
BVM Ltd, an official and long-trusted partner to Microsoft where their licensing of embedded hardware platforms are concerned. Starting in 2000, we have been providing operating systems for Windows NT through to the present day with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC (Long Term Service Channel) 2019.
At BVM we have kept our operation running throughout the lockdown with our production department doing a sterling job meeting all our delivery schedules
Powerguard is a Power Loss Protection (PLP) technology developed by Cervoz. The Powerguard function provides additional power during an unexpected power outage to complete current flash write operation, moreover to protect firmware, mapping table integrity.
Embedded Computers (sometimes known as ‘Embedded Systems) are purpose-built computing platforms designed for a specific task or fixed functionality – where at every re-boot, a fixed environment is activated. These are not your typical desktop or tower computers that we are used to using at home or in the office.
I have a laptop, why would I need a portable computer? We often see examples of field-based test or surveillance equipment based on a laptop computer. If the application is in a reasonably benign environment and there aren’t too many external real-world connections the laptop or tablet can be a good solution.
Here at BVM we can take your Raspberry Pi prototype and work with you to convert this into a reliable commercial product of which the compute module is just one possible technical solution.
Embedded systems need to be designed such that any unexpected power loss is to be expected and won’t cause corruption to the operating system or loss of data from the application software running on the device.
As an industrial PC solution provider BVM have often found, that with best intentions, engineers start the process of configuring an operating system thinking it to be a relatively simple process.
Christmas came early for the Atmos International aviation team as they took delivery of 10 new computer units for the Atmos Portable Tightness Monitor (APTM) systems from BVM Limited.
What is IoT ? The term IoT (Internet of Things) is in common usage but its meaning and significance are not always fully realised by those outside the tech industries.
Any company that designs and manufactures a product will run up against the decision to buy-in or build sub-assemblies.

When comparing a medical Panel PC to a traditional industrial unit, one may wonder what sets them apart. While they may share similar functionalities, their environmental requirements differ significantly, especially in a hospital setting.
