COM Key Benefits

Computer on Module (COM) can support our clients to reduce cost and business risk, decrease design requirements and technical complexity, lower profile design and speed time to market.
 
Save Cost    
Assembly Cost   Upgrade Cost
     
     The COM (Computer On Module) concept allows customers to customize their carrier boards with the functions they need, allowing them to build a perfect embedded carrier board to fit their chassis. It helps to reduce the cost of making daughter boards or I/O cables for pin headers to the I/O bracket on the chassis.
     With a COM-based project, a customer is also able to save cost when they update their applications to support higher-level calculations or increase graphic performance. The customer doesn’t need to change the carrier board or chassis design to enhance the performance; they just simply need to change the COM module.
 
Timing
     A COM-based project can help shorten the project development schedule for customers because about 80% of the design is already contained in the COM module. Customers can focus their attention on the 20% design effort of the carrier board. This saves a lot of development time and shortens the project's time-to–market.
 
Flexibility
    The modularized design of a COM-based project allows customers to configure COM modules with several carrier boards for different applications without having to create a new board.
 
Secure Knowledge
    Strong engineering know-how is the key to success for most applications. Customers prefer to keep Design knowledge inside their company to the extent possible. A COM-based project helps customer proprietary information stay that way.
Carrier boards are designed to customer specification for each COM-based project. This means the customer can keep key design specifications on the carrier board, limiting exposure to design partners outside the company. This reduces the possibility of revealing key knowledge to competitors.
