Axiomtek Delivers Versatility and Enhanced Security with SMARC v2.0 System on Module - The SCM180

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. - Dec. 4, 2018 - PRLog -- Axiomtek, a leading design and manufacturing company of innovative, high performance and reliable PC-based industrial computer products, is proud to introduce the SCM180, a SMARC v2.0 system on module with a choice of quad- or dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A53 processors. The ultra low power, high performance, RISC-based module measures only 82 x 50 mm and utilizes the powerful i.MX 8M processor. The SCM180 is unique among other SMARC modules of its kind because it features Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for optimum security. The SCM180 is suitable for a wide range of smart, portable/mobile-integrated IoT applications including robotics, automotive, factory automation, smart agriculture, casino gaming, medical, retail, surveillance and more. With its NXP artificial intelligence core technologies-enabled capabilities, the SMARC module can be programmed to support smart automation and machine-learning application requirements.

Axiomtek USA developed the SCM180 and has created the Axiomtek USA's SMARC product line roadmap in response to the growing demand for RISC-based products within the local North American region. Led by the local design engineering team, the product was conceived and manufactured in the US in support of the region's rising preferences for a mobile, RISC-based SOM with rich features such as those of the SCM180's.

"The Axiomtek team can offer quick-response, hands-on, personalized engineering support and a variety of value-added services to help our RISC-based customers meet their challenges," said Eric Chiang, Axiomtek USA's Associated Vice President. "We designed our SMARC module products to offer great flexibility that includes our customer's desired ruggedness. They can choose an extended operating temperature range of 0°C to +85°C for commercial use, and -40°C to +85°C for industrial use. The SCM180 delivers a wide range of features that are purpose-built to support most application requirements. It's about making a difference for our customers to achieve their desired level of performance, scalability and high availability to make their deployment a success.

"We are proud to offer great SMARC products that are thoughtfully designed to offer rich, useful interfaces and great expandability. Our design engineering team is highly experienced from years of providing assistance to our customers for a variety of use cases. For example, our medical OEM customer looked for a robust SOM to control the operations of a heart-rate monitoring device and came to us for help. One of our cutting-edge retail automation customers has utilized our SCM module and customization services to build an advanced warehouse robotic system. It was our agriculture technology OEM customer's SMARC module of choice for their drone control solutions. Axiomtek SCM products were selected by most because it is future-proof and easy to upgrade later down the line. For all of these reasons, Axiomtek USA is thrilled to take the SCM product series to the next level to support our region's growing needs and demands for products with a balance of quality, versatility and usability."

The SCM180 is also compatible with Linux operating systems, such as Yocto Project and Ubantu. It will be available for purchase in January of 2019. For more information, please visit http://us.axiomtek.com or contact us at solutions@axiomtek.com.
