Even for well-experienced sailors, sailing a cruise ship or cargo ship across the oceans from continent to continent is physically demanding. Sometimes accidents happen when the sailor on duty falls asleep or is incapable of operating the ship, which may result in tremendous financial loss and casualties. To prevent an accident from happening, now according to the rules of the International Maritime Organization, the Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) must be installed in all vessels between 150 and 500 tonnes. If the sailor loses the operation capability, the automatic alarm system will go off.

The customer, Voyage Marine Automation, was looking for a single board computer to migrate to its latest generation of the Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System. While the system is the last line of defense for safety, the SBC must be durable and stable. And in the last generation of the system, the customer used a processor from AMD, therefore in the new generation, the customer prefers the motherboard with an AMD processor to achieve a balance between low power consumption and stable performance. To withstand the extreme environment at sea, this embedded board should support an extended temperature range during operation.

Axiomtek’s cost-effective low-power SBC secures the constant function of BNWAS
|
|
| |
|
 Axiomtek has proposed its SBC84620 – a 3.5-inch fanless embedded SBC. The SBC84620 is powered by the AMD Geode™ LX processor with AMD LX integrated graphic controller. Dual LAN ports, four COM ports, and four USB 2.0 ports make the embedded board empower the system value without additional development cost. The embedded board also provides a Mini PCI socket and ISA bus through the PC/104 interface. It can operate under a wide range of industrial-grade temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. In addition, the fanless board provides long life cycle support and enables small form-factor designs.
