New at Kontron: SMARTCASE Solutions for Box-PCs "Designed by Fujitsu”

Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), is adding the proven SMARTCASE chassis kits from Fujitsu to its portfolio and thereby further expanding its product range. Five variants of the Kontron SMARTCASE are currently available: S500, S520, S700, S710 and S720. These serve as the basis for fully assembled Box-PCs, consisting of Kontron motherboards "Designed by Fujitsu", including cooling and housing according to customer specifications. Within the second quarter of 2020, Kontron will launch another SMARTCASE, the S711, for the mITX board D3713-V/R with the AMD Embedded V1000/R1000 series processor. This will enable developers to implement complete systems quickly, easily and without a high level of testing effort. This lowers costs and shortens the time-to-market.
