Accelerate time to market

by concentrating on your core-competencies and leave the embedded computing technology to congatec’s Computer-on-Module ecosystem. Our Computer-on-Modules pre-integrate all the complex components like CPU, GPU, memory, Ethernet and further PC functions in an application-ready form. Customization to specific needs is done via an easy-to-design carrier board. Additional design-in, pre-qualification and software services from congatec boost performance and speed up your time to market further. 

Upgrade intelligence

by leveraging optimum computing performance tailored to your exact demands. Our exchangeable Computer-on-Modules offer high-performance x86 processors with massive core count and integrated AI engines through to low-power Arm-based application processors with Neural Processing Units (NPU) and additional dedicated hardware accelerators. This enables you to run powerful inference workloads for complex AI tasks and to upgrade your robot’s intelligence so it can perform more complex jobs. 

Increase ROI & sustainability

by upgrading your existing designs with our Computer-on-Module ecosystem to extend their use. Gain maximum scalability to design whole product families using one basic design and achieve agility to quickly ramp up production to meet changing market demands. Additionally, benefit from reliable upgrade paths to latest technologies without altering system designs, thereby saving costs. With a simple module change, even systems that have been in use for several years can be upgraded, extending the lifespan of your hardware, increasing sustainability, and maximizing ROI. 

Benefits of Computer-on-Modules:

Improve durability

by implementing technology that is specifically developed for harsh environmental conditions, offers support for the industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, and comes with high resistance against shock and vibrations. In conjunction with energy-efficiency and powerful passive cooling solutions, our ecosystem enables fully sealed systems with high IP ratings. Consequently, robots can operate in even the most demanding environments – from arctic cold to desert heat, in wet conditions as well as harmful areas, and ex zones.  

Optimize reliability & TCO

by leveraging rugged technology and system consolidation. With supporting real-time hypervisor technology from Real-Time Systems, various workloads that previously required several dedicated systems can now be run on one single system. This not only reduces system count and yields immediate cost savings, it also leads to a higher MTBF and overall reliability. It further helps to extend maintenance intervals and reduce downtime, resulting in an optimized TCO.

Extend operating time

of battery-powered autonomous robot designs with energy-efficient embedded computing technology. Leveraging next generation technologies can bring up to 50% energy savings to the computing core without compromising performance. Or up to 100% more computing performance to enhance workload capacities and autonomous decision making. With Computer-on-Modules you can easily switch to low-power designs via a simple module exchange and without costly re-designs. 

Enhance perception & safety

by increasing computing performance and I/O bandwidth to process 2D/3D camera, LIDAR, RADAR and/or ultrasound, and many other data in real time. This improves the situational awareness of your systems, which leads to better navigation in complex environments and increased safety for humans in collaborative environments. Our high-performance COM-HPC and COM Express ecosystems offer extreme performance bandwidths and interface capabilities to implement latest sensor technologies in high-end collaborative and autonomous robots.

Improve communication capability

by implementing real-time communication in your business and even mission-critical Industry 4.0 and IIoT applications. Our Computer-on-Module ecosystem is optimized for low latency and coordinated communication supporting Time Synchronized Networking (TSN) and Time Coordinated Computing (TCC) to coordinate various robots, not only within a manufacturing cell but across the entire factory floor. Integrated IoT gateways consolidated via the Real-Time Hypervisor help to improve cybersecurity.
