Winmate Customization Solutions

Introduction Winmate’s customization solutions have become a key benchmark in the industrial PC OEM / ODM sector. As AIoT, smart manufacturing, and edge computing continue to evolve, industry demands are growing more complex. Standard products can no longer meet every application requirement. This article explores how Winmate leverages modular architecture and a structured development process to help businesses implement customized industrial computing solutions, drive differentiation, and scale globally.

1. Winmate Customization Solutions: Meeting the Demands of Diverse Industries Industrial PC customization is a critical service tailored to sectors such as healthcare, maritime, military, and transportation. Winmate’s modular design platform addresses unique technical requirements such as IP65 protection, high-brightness sunlight-readable displays, EN60601-1 medical safety compliance, and MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability.

   Winmate’s OEM / ODM industrial PC solutions support custom motherboard configurations, I/O interface planning, and certification compliance, making them applicable to smart factories, medical institutions, defense systems, vehicle integration, and marine applications.

   From high-speed rail cockpits to explosion-proof zones in petrochemical plants, each application requires different mechanical designs, I/O layouts, touch technologies, and power specifications. Winmate can create embedded platforms tailored to real-world needs while supporting international certifications such as DNV, ATEX, and EN50155.

2. Modular Architecture: Building a Highly Flexible Customization Platform Modular architecture forms the foundation of Winmate’s customization strategy. With reusable hardware designs, clients can flexibly configure processors, displays, storage, communication, and power modules.

   Processor options include Intel Core i5/i7, Atom x6000E, and ARM Cortex-A78, offering scalability from high-performance data processing to low-power control systems. Display panels range from 7 to 32 inches and support high brightness, wide temperature operation, projected capacitive and resistive touch technologies, ensuring functionality under sunlight, humidity, or glove-worn conditions.

   Typical I/O options include USB, COM, GPIO, CAN Bus, PoE, M12 connectors, and multiple LAN ports. These can be modularly expanded for applications like robotics, vehicle communication, and edge AI. Mechanical enclosures can be made from aluminum or stainless steel, with IP65, IP67, explosion-proof, and anti-vibration construction.

   These modular platform combinations significantly improve customization efficiency and reduce development risks, enabling Winmate to streamline design, prototyping, and verification.

3. Complete OEM / ODM SOP for Industrial PCs: To ensure successful project delivery, Winmate has developed a rigorous six-phase OEM / ODM customization process covering requirement confirmation, design development, testing and validation, production integration, and after-sales support.

   • Phase 1: Needs Assessment and Scenario Analysis Sales and engineering teams collaborate with clients to define application scenarios, operational environments, budget constraints, and regulatory requirements (e.g., EN60601-1, IEC60945, MIL-STD-461G), while building use case diagrams and technical specifications.
   • Phase 2: Functional Planning and Draft Specifications Based on modular platforms, the initial system configuration is proposed, including processor selection, I/O interfaces, storage, display specifications, and mechanical dimensions. A BOM is created, along with development cost and lead time estimates.
   • Phase 3: Design and Prototyping PCB layout, mechanical design, and aluminum thermal simulations are carried out to produce engineering validation test (EVT) prototypes. Testing includes thermal cycling, vibration, ESD, EMI/EMC spectrum, and aging validation.
   • Phase 4: DVT Verification and Regulatory Certification Support is provided for system integration testing, firmware calibration, and certification applications, covering medical EN60601-1, military MIL-STD, CE/FCC emissions testing, and IP waterproof ratings.
   • Phase 5: Pilot Production and Workflow Optimization Pilot batches validate production consistency and process control. Mass production test SOPs, quality manuals, shipping workflows, and packaging label guides are established.
   • Phase 6: Mass Production and After-Sales Support Formal production and global deployment commence. Services include OTA firmware updates, long-term supply planning, EOL notifications, PCN announcements, and warranty repair support.

   This customizable process ensures clients receive tailored solutions that align with project timelines and application demands.

4. Global Case Studies: Real-World Applications Across Industries Winmate has successfully delivered customized projects across various industries and challenging environments, meeting stringent reliability and compliance standards.

   • Petrochemical Industry: A Middle Eastern oilfield operator deployed ATEX-certified tablets with Zone 2 explosion-proof designs, aluminum enclosures, and sunlight-readable panels in extreme desert heat.
   • Rail Transportation: A European railway system implemented EN50155-certified HMI display terminals with CAN Bus support, wide voltage input (DC 24~110V), and anti-vibration construction for train cockpits and station control centers.
   • Medical Application: A U.S.-based medical technology company adopted EN60601-1-certified tablets featuring antibacterial coatings, hot-swappable batteries, HDMI input, and barcode scanners for surgical imaging integration.
   • Transportation & Logistics: A South American logistics company installed rugged vehicle-mounted tablets with M12 waterproof connectors, Wi-Fi 6, and GNSS modules for real-time fleet and cargo tracking.

   These case studies demonstrate Winmate’s OEM / ODM expertise, integration capabilities, and responsiveness to market-specific challenges.

Winmate’s customization solutions combine modular design, structured SOP workflows, and cross-industry application knowledge to help businesses implement smart computing platforms quickly. The company continues to expand into AI, machine vision, autonomous systems, and smart healthcare, while advancing online configurator tools, digital catalogs, and API integrations.

Choosing Winmate means more than selecting an industrial computer—it means selecting a long-term technology partner that grows with your business.
