Modified COTS embedded computers

Using a SECO SOM or SBC platform as a starting point, validated schematics, circuit board artwork, and operating system source code is modified to enable application-specific features and optimize cost. As compared to fully custom designs, modified COTS accelerates schedules from kickoff to production while minimizing development cost and risk.

Modified COTS tablets

The toughest environments, rugged handling, and specialized use of commercial tablets in industrial, military, and medical applications often lead to retrofit casings, hacked-in accessories, non-optimal performance, and rapid device demise. 

 

SECO USA has solved these problems with the Hydra series of rugged tablets. Designed entirely in-house, any feature can be modified to enable tightly integrated, optimally performing tablet devices. See SECO USA’s custom tablet web page to learn about the range of modifications available- including the case, display, electronics, software, and more.
