Edge computing & embedded
Compute that has to survive vibration, dust, a wide temperature range and a ten-year product life. San Francisco writes the models; this floor is where they get put in a box that runs on a factory wall or inside a robot.
15 shelves
we want filled.
Every line below is a display we would like somebody to own. Several are still completely open.
- 01
Compute modules and SoMs
SMARC, COM Express, Jetson-format and custom system-on-modules. State the longevity commitment in years and the BSP maintenance policy, because both are the actual product.
- 02
Carrier and baseboards
Reference and custom carriers, breakout boards and the schematics a customer can fork. The supplier who hands over an editable design wins the design-in.
- 03
Single-board computers
Industrial SBCs with wide-temperature parts, locking connectors and a stated end-of-life date. Consumer-grade boards with an industrial sticker are the thing we are trying to filter out.
- 04
Fanless industrial PCs
DIN-rail and wall-mount boxes, extruded aluminium chassis, conformal-coated boards, wide-input DC and vibration ratings you can show a test report for.
- 05
AI accelerators and modules
M.2, mini-PCIe and standalone inference accelerators, NPUs and vision processors, with the toolchain that turns a customer model into something that runs on them.
- 06
Embedded GPUs and vision SoCs
Modules and boards for robotics and camera pipelines, with thermal design guidance. Power at sustained load matters more than peak TOPS to anyone building a battery-powered machine.
- 07
Microcontrollers and RTOS boards
MCU modules, motor-control MCUs, safety-certified controllers and dev kits. Deterministic timing and a real hardware abstraction layer are what separate these from hobby boards.
- 08
FPGA and SoC boards
FPGA modules, SoC boards and the IP cores that go with them. Low-latency machine control, sensor fusion and video pipelines are the applications buyers walk in with.
- 09
Industrial networking
Managed and unmanaged switches, EtherCAT and PROFINET bridges, TSN gear, media converters and fibre. The quiet backbone of every machine on floor two.
- 10
Wireless and cellular modules
Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth, LTE, 5G and LPWAN modules with the certification list attached. FCC and carrier approvals shorten a US launch by months and belong on the front of your datasheet.
- 11
Storage and memory
Industrial SSDs, eMMC and SD modules, wide-temperature DRAM and the power-loss protection that stops a machine corrupting its own filesystem on a brownout.
- 12
Edge gateways and protocol bridges
Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT and legacy-serial gateways for the two-thirds of the installed base that will never be replaced. Retrofit is a bigger market than greenfield.
- 13
Thermal for compute
Heat sinks, heat pipes, vapour chambers, cold plates and gap pads sized for embedded loads. Bring the thermal resistance curve, and bring it at the customer's ambient.
- 14
Enclosures and EMC for electronics
Extruded and die-cast housings, DIN-rail cases, shielding cans, gaskets and the finishing that gets a product through an EMC chamber the first time.
- 15
Displays and HMI for embedded
Panel PCs, touch monitors, sunlight-readable displays and the mounting hardware. Optical bonding and glove-operable touch are worth showing in person under real light.
How to stand out
in this category.
The differentiator here is not benchmark numbers, it is longevity and support: a published availability commitment, a board-support package that is actually maintained, and a carrier-board reference design a customer can fork.
