Industrial motherboards - Hermes
High‑reliability industrial motherboards engineered for long‑lifecycle embedded applications
Our industrial motherboard series provides a robust computing foundation for embedded systems requiring performance, longevity, and configuration flexibility. Built around Intel® Core™ and Xeon® processor families, with optional architectures available for AMD‑based designs, these boards are designed to support demanding industrial, medical, and semiconductor‑grade workloads where reliability and long‑term availability are crucial.
The designs integrate extensive I/O, PCIe expansion slots, and server‑grade management capabilities, enabling scalable solutions from compact industrial PCs to advanced control systems. With support for ECC memory, multiple display options, and extensive network connectivity, our platforms adapt easily to a broad range of applications.
Beyond standard capabilities, we accommodate custom integrated circuits and specialized hardware. This includes support for FPGAs, hardware‑based encryption modules, sensor interfaces, and non‑standard or application‑specific peripherals. Whether implemented through PCIe, high‑speed serial links, dedicated headers, or custom mezzanine designs, we enable deep system‑level integration for OEMs who require functionality beyond off-the-shelf products.
Leveraging our embedded computing ecosystem, our motherboards can be delivered stand‑alone or integrated into complete systems such as industrial PCs, rack servers, or customized solutions. Long‑term availability ensures stable supply chains and easier lifecycle management for OEMs operating in regulated or high‑volume industries.
