RUGGED & EMBEDDED COMPUTER EXPERTS

Rugged & Embedded Computer Experts... Cyberchron is the world leader in Ruggedized & Embedded Computers and Peripherals.

A rugged (or ruggedized) or embedded computer is a computer created specifically to dependably function in severe environmental conditions, for instance severe shock and vibration, temperature and humidity extremes, and dusty environments. They are developed from the beginning with the sort of harsh use typified as a result of most of these environments, not just the exterior housing but also in the interior parts as well. Normally, ruggedized, embedded and hardened computer systems provide a similar design robustness and often these phrases are similar.



Computer and electronic system ruggedization is the process of enhancing the reliability and environmental endurance of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. This approach is an increasingly popular alternative to the expense and lead-time associated with procuring MIL-SPEC components. In most cases, in fact, a COTS system provides users with a wider variety of components since the latest commercial technologies can be quickly incorporated into existing rugged & embedded designs.

An Embedded Computer is one designed specifically to be inserted into another product (or application), and that can operate continuously with little or no operator intervention. It is typically a customized, small form factor unit, with greatly extended operational parameters such as 100G shock and temperatures from -40C through +85C.
