Project Management

Be it a small project to tailor a board or a piece of software or a huge full custom project, we always assign a Kontron project manager for you. He is your single point of contact and coordinates all your specifications and the resulting commit- ments.

Technical Support

We emphasize personal contact rather than annoying answering systems and virtual assistants.

Our technical support staffs are comprised of experienced engineers who are ready and able to respond to your requests. This means that you instantly get in contact with someone understands your situation, listens to your description, analyzes the problem and gets it resolved quickly.

Longevity

We have been aware of the needs and requirements of the OEM business for decades, so we know about the problem of longevity. This is why we offer our OEMs a long-term delivery contract. We design longevity into our products, even into our embedded motherboards.

Ruggedization

Another service we offer our customers is the ruggedization of our products for extreme environmental conditions in industrial automation, transportation, mobile computing, off-shore or shipboard applications. Many of our products are available for use in extended temperature range - 40° C to + 85° C (with passive heat sinks, where necessary) and additional fixture of components (for increased shock and vibration resistance) and/or conformal coating to protect them against aggressive environmental conditions.
