ON THE MOVE

What a rugged in-vehicle computer has to handle on the move

Vehicle-mounted computing systems must withstand changing mechanical, electrical, thermal and connectivity conditions throughout every operating cycle. In-vehicle edge computing therefore needs hardware designed around the realities of mobile deployment.

MECHANICAL
Continuous vibration and shock

Fanless designs eliminate moving cooling components, while anti-vibration mounting helps protect the computing platform during continuous vehicle movement and shock.

Vehicle ignition and battery connected to an in-vehicle computer
ELECTRICAL
Variable vehicle power

Ignition-aware power management coordinates system startup and shutdown with the vehicle, and manages power to help protect the battery.

NETWORK
Intermittent connectivity

Optional cellular connectivity (4G/5G on the FM-15MIV-51, 4G/LTE on the FM-METISIV-50-12V) provides mobile data on the move, with optional Wi-Fi when the vehicle is within network range.

In-vehicle computer processing data locally while the cloud link is down
DATA
Processing must continue offline

Local storage and edge processing keep applications running when connectivity is unavailable, so data can be synchronised by your application when the connection returns.

Computer fitted alongside onboard equipment in a tight mounting space
SPACE
Restricted mounting space

A mounting plate is supplied, so units can be fixed alongside existing onboard equipment where installation space is limited.

Passively cooled computer in changing temperatures
THERMAL
Changing thermal conditions

Passive cooling with no moving parts, rated to each product’s datasheet operating temperature range.

IGNITION CONTROL

Intelligent ignition control for in-vehicle computing

In-vehicle computers need to respond intelligently to ignition events. Running continuously can place unnecessary demand on the vehicle battery, while an immediate power cut can interrupt applications and risk data integrity.

Ignition-aware power management allows the computer to coordinate startup and shutdown with the vehicle, while managing power to help protect the battery.


01        Ignition on

                  Automatic startup with the vehicle
                  The computer detects the ignition signal and powers up automatically, so it starts with the vehicle.


02           Ignition off

                   Shutdown with the vehicle
                 
When the ignition is switched off, the computer shuts down in step with the vehicle.


03           Battery protection

                   Designed to minimise unnecessary consumption
                 
Power is managed automatically to help protect the vehicle battery from unnecessary drain.
