Embedded Single Board Computers for OEM Projects
Reliable embedded SBCs, engineered for long-life OEM integration with form factors, I/O, and performance to fit your project.
Industry Insight. Technology Know-how.
Versatile SBC Solutions for OEM Integration
Single Board Computers offer a compact, scalable foundation for developing reliable, application-specific systems. Featuring flexible I/O, extended lifecycle support, and industrial-grade durability, SBCs streamline integration into complex machinery, embedded systems, and edge devices, thereby helping to accelerate time-to-market without compromising performance.
SBCs are especially valuable where space, power efficiency, and environmental resilience are critical. From compact control units in industrial automation and rugged vehicle-based systems in transportation, to sealed-edge devices in medical or cleanroom environments, SBCs deliver the performance of a full-sized PC in a small, power-efficient footprint. Unlike traditional PCs or modular rackmount systems, SBCs can be seamlessly embedded into enclosures, customised to exact I/O and thermal requirements, and supported long-term for product lifecycle stability.
Designed to operate reliably in extreme temperatures such as -40°C to 70°C.
Supports fluctuating power inputs, ensuring stable performance.
Enhances durability with passive cooling, reducing maintenance needs.

Embedded SBCs For Your Application: Where Our Solutions Work
Surveillance & Security
Industrial SBCs are ideal for OEMs building surveillance and physical security systems. Their compact footprint and rugged design allow for deployment in space-constrained or outdoor environments, while support for multiple video inputs, edge AI, and real-time data processing makes them well-suited for smart cameras, NVRs, and access control systems. Long lifecycle support and industrial-grade reliability ensure continued operation in mission-critical applications.
Factory Automation
In manufacturing environments, SBCs serve as a core computing platform for automation and control systems. They enable real-time communication with sensors, actuators, and PLCs, while supporting industrial protocols and edge-level data processing. SBCs can be embedded directly into machinery or control panels, offering the durability and I/O flexibility needed to operate in harsh industrial conditions. Their scalability and integration capabilities allow OEMs to develop tailored automation solutions with reduced system complexity.
Transportation
SBCs play a critical role in transportation systems, particularly in applications where reliability, ruggedness, and low power consumption are essential. From onboard diagnostics and infotainment systems to surveillance and passenger information displays, SBCs provide consistent performance under extreme temperature ranges and high-vibration environments. OEMs in rail, bus, and fleet operations rely on SBCs for their ability to deliver edge processing, seamless connectivity, and long lifecycle support in mobile and mission-critical deployments.
Smart Kiosks
For self-service and interactive kiosks, SBCs offer a compact, fanless computing solution capable of driving responsive touch interfaces, handling media playback, and managing network connectivity. They are commonly used in retail, transportation hubs, hospitality, and healthcare environments, where 24/7 uptime and sleek, integrated designs are essential. OEMs benefit from the flexibility to customise I/O, integrate peripherals such as printers or card readers, and deploy compact enclosures without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Efficient Performance with Intel Core Ultra
AAEON has recently released their PICO-MTU4 SBC. It is among the first to feature Intel’s latest Core Ultra processors, with an integrated Vision Processing Unit (VPU) for computer vision and machine learning, all of which allows the board to combine performance, power efficiency, and versatility in a compact Pico-ITX form factor (100mm x 72mm). At the time of writing this, it is the world's smallest Intel Core Ultra-powered board.What makes the PICO-MTU4 stand out? Read our blog to learn more.

Our work on embedded projects usually follows a defined process. We start by understanding the environment and application in detail, then agree a suitable hardware platform, build and validate systems in the UK, and finally manage changes and lifecycle.
Projects typically start with a requirements capture phase. This covers environmental conditions such as temperature range, dust levels, vibration and cleaning regime; electrical considerations such as supply, earthing and panel layout; performance requirements; I/O and expansion needs; relevant standards or approvals; and expectations around lifecycle, volume and support.
Based on this information, suitable hardware platforms are shortlisted and reviewed. CPU class, memory, storage, I/O, expansion options and mounting arrangements are agreed, along with any specific BIOS or firmware requirements. For repeat deployments, a small number of standard builds are usually defined to simplify stocking, rollout and support.
Systems are then assembled and validated in the UK. This includes physical assembly, OS installation and configuration, loading of customer images where required, and burn-in and functional tests defined for the project. The goal is that systems arrive on site ready to be integrated with minimal additional work.
Once deployed, attention shifts to lifecycle support. Agreed configurations are documented and controlled as a bill of materials. Changes announced by manufacturers are monitored, and when they occur, suitable replacement options are identified and discussed. Where appropriate, last-time-buy planning and controlled transitions are used to minimise disruption to machines and production lines.

Specialist computing platform for leading UAV OEM
Our customer in the Defence & Security industry required a light and small form factor box PC for guidance systems of unmanned vehicles, rugged enough to withstand shock and vibration. As the unmanned vehicles are often battery powered, low power consumption and weight were required to allow a saving in efficiency, ultimately leading to longer service time per mission.
