Advantages of embedded computers from next system

Energy saving, powerful & cost efficient

ARM-based computers come in many different models. Nearly all of them are energy-efficient, powerful, and cost-effective.

In addition to small and affordable embedded computers, we also offer x86-based high-performance computers and systems for artificial intelligence.

Suitable for demanding environments

If required, we offer systems designed for harsh environmental conditions, such as those with an extended temperature range, passive cooling, or designed to withstand high levels of vibration and shock.

Our rackmount and rugged systems are particularly well-suited for industrial use. They offer trouble-free operation even when exposed to shock, vibration, and contamination.

Our HMI (Human Machine Interface) systems are resistant to dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature fluctuations. This makes them the ideal components for operating and monitoring equipment.

Everything from one source

In addition to our extensive selection of embedded computers, we also provide all the necessary accessories—from hardware components and software to integration and support.

FAQs

Embedded computers are designed to meet industrial requirements and are known by many names (box PC, gateway, controller, industrial PC, and so on).

The core of the device can be created as follows:

  • Single-board computer (SBC) or motherboard: Here you take the board out of the packaging, connect all the cables and install it in a case.
  • Full-custom design: This only pays off with very high quantities.
  • Module solution: Developers get great flexibility with a CoM or SMARC.

Our fanless box PCs are suitable if the application requires an extended temperature range, vibration damping and dust protection, or requires many PCI slots. If compact dimensions play an important role, our SBCs are the right choice.

To find the right embedded computer, you need to fully understand the specific application for which it will be used. With so many variables at play, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for embedded computers. We are happy to help you find the best embedded computer for you.

ARM processors are low-power processors that can run on certain devices to perform certain tasks or functions that are not resource-heavy.

x86 processors are primarily designed for products that perform demanding computing or load tasks and where factors such as heat dissipation, power consumption limitations, and expandability do not need to be considered.

PC systems in 19″ technology meet the requirements of industrial use in all conceivable applications. In addition to the special robustness and reliability, the high flexibility in performance classes and interfaces also plays an important role. This is not a problem with standard industrial PC systems, as the modular design offers all possibilities to react to all requirements.

Many systems on the market have an aluminum housing and are thus significantly more robust than IPC housings and ideally suited for rough industrial use.

Aluminum is safe from rust and corrosion and thus better suited for the mostly harsh industrial environments, especially in outdoor use. Additionally, box PCs use the case as an oversized heat sink. The case allows fanless operation (no fans) on most computers. This significantly increases the life and reliability of the computer. Unlike many industrial or embedded PCs, the box PC has the interface connectors soldered directly to the board. This not only increases system reliability, but also reduces assembly costs.

The Human Machine Interface is the part of a machine or machine equipment where an interaction between human and the machine takes place. This HMI interface also provides important information for the user or operator.

In a factory, for example, the user of the machine will also receive important information about the current production process via the HMI interface. This can be shown on a display. For machines, this is usually implemented via a modern control panel consisting of a touch display and additional control buttons. Simpler devices for the household also contain such interfaces.

Compatible displays in various inch sizes for industrial use can be combined with our embedded systems. These can be connected to our embedded computers via DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort interfaces. We also offer optional accessories for our industrial embedded PCs, such as DIN rail or wall mounting kits, cables, power supplies, as well as PCI add-on cards.

Our experts are happy to advise you on the selection of suitable embedded PC hardware, SSD, other components or processors. With us, your company will benefit from a customized embedded PC system tailored exactly to your application.
