A sound decision

We are well set up to handle international companies. You get worldwide access to our immense specialist knowledge via your local project manager. That's why you get, along with the evaluation, a solution concept from the right module through the specific board and up to selection and provision of suitable components including the cooling solution.

 

Future-proof lead in development

ETX® is the original from Kontron. We invented it - and established a worldwide standard. We constantly set new trends, for example with the ETXexpress® and microETXexpress members of our Computer-on-Module (COM) Express family, followed by nanoETXexpress, whose miniaturization with high power and low power consumption is gaining ground strongly. The UGM (Universal Graphic Module) is setting new standards for modularity and long-term availability in high-end graphics support.

 

Technology security

The latest technologies are not in themselves a development head start. To retain assurance across many generations of processors, we realize future products in both proven and new embedded standards. You gain a technical advantage, since our strategic partnerships with Intel and others give us access to the latest technologies earlier.

 

Planning assurance

Your Kontron project manager guides you securely and without risk through the entire design-in process to production-ready product by means of a precise milestone project plan. This allows you to concentrate on your core business and still retain an overview and full control of development, documentation and production through to customer-specific test processes, systems and procedures.

 

Investment and cost security

We take on responsabilities using ongoing lifecycle management, because we want to further the success of your product. That's why we permanently inform you on the product status and, if required, lenghten the lifetime of your application. We minimize modification costs, thus guaranteeing 'form, fit and function'. Careful selection and testing of suibable components and reliable suppliers additionally increases your security.

 

Time and technology advantage

With evaluation boards and starter kits, you can evaluate all Kontron COM form factors more easily, verify more quickly and go to market earlier.
