COM is an acronym for Computer-On-Modules, the structure divided into the CPU board, base board and thermal solution, with modular design offers the replaceable and upgradable advantages for the adopters. Avalue develops a series of products including COM Express Mini, Compact, Basic and Qseven at the open standard to benefit our customers.

COM is appropriate for a vertical market, such as the commercial, maritime, gaming and the mil/aero applications. Generally, the adopters need spending a lot of resource on a product design, verification, certification, field test, etc.; however, the adopters need to re-do it again a few years later, since the CPU or some key components are going to end of life. com is the answer, the ability to plug a CPU board onto a carrier board reduces the time and cost to develop a product. Besides the product lifetime is increased as newer CPU board can simply be plugged onto the carrier board to improve performance or lower cost as they become available.

COM Application

Measuremnet & Testing

Measurement and test equipment requires a long service life to ensure investment, and most of its designs are highly dependent on the quality of the results. The highest level of scalable performance must have the best reliability. The COM modular design concept can meet highly interactive graphical user interfaces, can use these special I / O connectors, and can easily maintain COM modules that have been upgraded for decades.

Military & Marine

Avalue has succeeded in the experience and successful joint projects of COM computing modules for some military-grade I / O carrier boards used in ships and ship automation. Modular computers like COM Express are mainly used in applications where shock, vibration and temperature are not the main issues. System integrators who want to use COM technology in harsh environmental conditions must look for modules specifically designed for harsh environments. This requires different design, testing and qualification processes.

Transportation

In view of its wide application in the transportation market, the integrated systems in the transportation field can be roughly classified into the fields of railways, subways, parking POS, automobiles, avionics, logistics, in-vehicle infotainment systems and passenger infotainment systems. Embedded systems are typically microcontroller platforms with a limited number of dedicated functions and real-time computing functions. Those systems that are perfectly integrated into the vehicles, increasing their capability by contributing to improve performance levels and operational efficiency, and providing services related to navigation, safety and diagnostics.

Multimedia & Gaming

The range of embedded computing applications in the booming entertainment and professional gaming arena, from cost-sensitive systems for lottery, arcade, and pinball games, to high-end gaming and entertainment systems in gaming centers with the highest graphics and interaction requirements. The COMs engine could be plug-in from Intel® Atom™ COM module to most high-end Intel® 3rd generation Core™ i7/ i5/ i3 processors to fulfill multimedia of video-streaming applications, video-wall gaming, POI/ Kiosk and gaming application. With its scalable and application-ready platforms, the modular embedded computer concept is an perfect match for the requirements of the gaming industry, enabling applications to be upgraded to the latest technologies with higher performance in the shortest possible time and often without costly recertification.

Automation

The application of industrial automation requires increasingly powerful intelligence in its products. The PC-based automation will be the modular COM design with custom I/O carrier for dedicated long-term availability control of machinery. The designer need not worry about changes of CPU SKU, but to keep COM standard I/O interfaces. This is why embedded systems are employed more and more frequently in industrial equipment, devices and processes, and the number of applications is growing as industrial devices become more connected. Along with associated software, COMs with Carrier board may customized in different shapes and forms to fit into wide range of various automation tasks such as control of image processing ,machines, networking of system components, data acquisition, processes or logistics systems.

Healthcare

IoT is gradually changing the health industry, opening up new scenarios in terms of safety and rigorous requirements for quality and longevity. Avalue com product helps devices makers to customize a carrier board and a family of Type modules. At the high-end, modules with Intel® Core™ processors technology meet the most demanding medical imaging requirements. For the value-line, there are dual cores Intel®ATOMTM or Celeron® to meet entry level solution. The market is segmented on the basis of device size (from the portable platforms to ultrasound machines), the presence of sensors, display, CPU and memory, and numerous applications (imaging, monitoring, diagnostics, therapy and assistance).
