Industrial Single-Board Computers Built for Long-Lifecycle Deployments
Long-lifecycle deployment means a product remains in active service, with full hardware and software support, for a decade or more after launch. For industrial automation OEMs, this matters: unplanned component discontinuation triggers costly re-certification processes, disrupts supply chains, and forces redesigns that delay revenue.
PCI is known for supporting industrial SBC deployments that last, providing OEMs with hardware, OS, and driver continuity long after standard product lifecycles have ended. Our custom single-board computer platforms are built on SoC foundations selected for longevity as much as performance.
- SoC platforms (NXP i.MX8 series, MediaTek) with 7+ year guaranteed component availability
- Long-term OS support covering Linux and Android (GMS certified) version upgrades across the full deployment window
- Ongoing device driver development and maintenance throughout the product lifecycle, not just at launch
- Tailored form, fit, and function to eliminate the integration risks that come with off-the-shelf replacement parts
The result is a manufacturing partnership that stays active for as long as your product is in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions About Single Board Computers
What is a Single Board Computer (SBC)?
A single board computer or SBC is a complete computer built on a single circuit board with all necessary components including a microprocessor, memory, input/output (I/O) ports, and often other peripherals. SBCs are designed for low power consumption and compact functionality, making them ideal for embedded applications. These boards are integral in the development of customised systems for a variety of sectors, including industrial automation, digital signage, and IoT solutions, where space and energy efficiency are paramount.
Can you provide examples of single board computers?
Common examples of single board computers include the Raspberry Pi, which is popular for educational and hobbyist projects, and the Arduino Uno, used frequently in prototyping and simple automation tasks. In more specialised fields, SBCs like the BeagleBone Black cater to more complex industrial and commercial applications, often customised with specific interfaces and expanded capabilities to handle robust operations such as network servers or advanced robotic controllers.
What are single board computers used for?
Single board computers are pivotal in applications that require reliable computing power within a constrained space. They are widely utilised in industrial control systems, home automation, edge computing devices, and multimedia entertainment systems. Their versatility also extends to mission-critical deployments in medical diagnostics, automated vehicular systems, and network infrastructure, where SBCs provide not only the primary computational capabilities but also act as control units for other electronic systems.
Does PCI provide custom OS and device driver development for industrial SBCs?
Yes. PCI supports the full software stack alongside hardware design, covering OS customisation for Linux and Android, BSP (Board Support Package) development, and ongoing device driver maintenance throughout the product lifecycle. Android support includes GMS certification, a meaningful differentiator for commercial and IoT applications. This single-partner model reduces integration risk and shortens time-to-market for industrial SBC product teams.
Does PCI offer industrial SBC manufacturing in Indonesia and Southeast Asia?
Yes. PCI offers SBC manufacturing services in Indonesia and across Southeast Asia, making us an accessible and cost-effective partner for US and international OEMs. Multi-site manufacturing across the region means shorter lead times, with a single partner managing hardware, software, and production. US-based OEM teams gain consolidated accountability without coordinating across multiple regional vendors.
