Every unit is built-to-order (not off-the-shelf) to maximize uptime and reliability. What customers can expect: robust product portfolio, built-to-spec customization, end-to-end project support, industrial-strength protection, order size flexibility, U.S.-made products, short lead times, unrivaled durability. ### Certifications and Compliance - **ISO 9001:2015** — certified quality management system. - **ITAR-registered** — controls export/import of defense-related articles (optical filters, coatings, display assemblies with military applications). - **NDAA Compliant** — Sections 889(a)(1)(A)/(B); no prohibited telecom/video surveillance equipment. - **RoHS 3 Compliant** — since Jan 2006; free of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and related restricted substances. - **TAA Compliant** — eligible for U.S. government procurement. - **Build America, Buy America (BABA)** — all design/engineering/manufacturing in the U.S. - **Hazardous Area Certifications** — C1D2-certified DiamondVue and ToughStation units tested to UL60950-1/CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1, ANSI/ISA 12.12.01-2013, and CSA C22.2 No. 213-M1987. ### Capability Statement Core competency: flexible, rapidly deployable rugged/industrial computing compliant with MIL-STD 167, 461, 810, 901, 1275, and 3009.

Backgrounds span engineering, military service, business strategy, and industrial manufacturing. They guide customers from concept through post-sale field support, covering enclosure selection (NEMA/IP/purge systems), high-bright display selection, fanless cooling, intrinsically safe/explosion-proof design, legacy system integration, and glove-compatible touch interfaces. They also manage compliance (NEMA, IP, MIL-STD, ATEX) and integration with SCADA, PLCs, and automation networks. --- ## Product Lines ### DiamondVue (Computers & Monitors) — Most Popular Line - NEMA 4/NEMA 4X, IP65/IP66 protection; -40°C to 70°C. - 8+ display sizes from 6.5"–43"; high-bright displays up to 1800 nits. - Touchscreens: standard resistive, resistive ArmorTouch, PCAP. - 7–8 mounting options: panel (clips/studs), VESA, RAM, console, console extreme, rack, chassis. - Up to 64 GB RAM. - **C1D2-certified variants** available (computers and panel-mount monitors) for hazardous areas — NEMA 4X, 10.4"–24" sizes, PCAP/resistive touch. - Use cases: manufacturing HMI, food/beverage washdown areas, life sciences (C1D2 stainless steel), oil & gas hazardous locations. ### ToughStation (Computers, Monitors & Workstations) - Fully sealed stainless-steel (or aluminum) enclosures; NEMA 4/4X, IP65/66. - Display sizes 10.4"–43" (computers/monitors); 15"–24" (workstations). - Touchscreens: resistive ArmorTouch, standard resistive, PCAP. - Mounting: console, console extreme, mounting tabs, panel with studs, VESA, RAM. - **Purge-protected variants** (Type-X for C1D1/C2D1, Type-Z for C2D2) available as computers, monitors (32"/43"), and hazardous area workstations. - **C1D2-certified variants** (10.4"–24") also available as computers and monitors. - Workstations offer 3 enclosure styles (ergonomic, panel, recessed), sealed keyboards, and peripherals (biometric scanners, RFID, E-Stops). - Use cases: food/beverage washdown, life sciences clean-in-place, chemical production, oil & gas, transportation hubs. ### All-Weather (Computers & Monitors) - NEMA 6, IP67 protection; -40°C to 70°C; marine-grade. - Display sizes 8.4"–32" (monitors), 8.4"–21.5" (computers); up to 1800 nits. - MIL-STD 461, 1275, 3009 (NVIS) options. - Mounting: console, console extreme, RAM, VESA, panel, rack. - Use cases: marine vessels (deck/bridge/interior), military vehicles, offshore oil & gas platforms. ### Bolt (Ai) — Edge AI Computer - IP67-sealed; up to 128 GB RAM; up to 13th-gen processors; up to 4 TB SSD. - Customizable GPUs/NPUs/accelerators for AI/ML workloads. - Proprietary cooling architecture for -40°C to 70°C operation. - Up to a dozen I/O ports (incl. ethernet/fiber); optional 11.6" side-panel service display. - Marine-grade aluminum enclosure; white powder coat recommended for full-sun use. ### Cubes — Small Form Factor Computers - **ToughCube**: 12"x10"x3", IP67, integrated shock mount, MIL-STD 461/810/1275, up to 64 GB RAM, 8 TB SSD.
