In addition to supplying embedded boards and chassis BVM is able to provide a true customisation service. This can range from minor tweaks to standard building blocks to completely new chassis and boards tailored specifically to an end application. Unlike many distributors BVM is a design authority in its own right and has board designers available to provide the full customisation service where this is appropriate.
Fanless technology is a speciality with a number of proven heatsink and heatpipe solution readily available.
The normal process of a project is for the client to specify his requirements. This is normally a list of mandatory and desirable features or sometimes a crude mock-up of a finished system. Once agreed the client places an order for a "proof of concept". In effect this is a first prototype which BVM and the client use to hone the final design. Following this a pre-production batch is built before full scale production is started.
To complement the bespoke hardware design BVM also provides an installation and customisation service for Windows XPEmbedded operating system. As a Microsoft Embedded Partner BVM has the tools targetetted at minimising time to market for your product.
