VPX (VITA 46) and OpenVPX (VIITA 65) standardize board and system level interoperability, and when it comes to real-world implementation, there’s a set of checks and balances to apply to system development.

We're launching our new Elma TIPS blog series to share the integration insights we've gained from nearly four decades in rugged embedded computing. Our first post tackles a costly mistake we see too often: skipping VPX profile compatibility checks.

This partner's corner blog discusses the merits of VITA's latest mezzanine standard, QMC or VITA 93. It uses an exceptionally small and modular form factor with enhanced performance.

While some companies have sunset entire VME-based product lines, we’ve continued to see the need to sustain and refresh systems using the architecture. New 6U VME board designs are still available from multiple sources to support those that rely on VME.

With more than four decades under its belt, VME is still in use across a range of industries and applications. Many companies still need to support exisitng installations using VME - Elma can guide the way.

Blog | Discuss sensor technology as it continues to advance, AI-enabled systems are gaining access to very detailed information. Sensors assist with critical functions that deliver actionable intelligence through machine learning

Sensor technologies are increasingly helping AI to advance. The blog discusses how advances are being made.

Meeting power needs in harsh environments is all about identifying environmental challenges and addressing needs such as MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 and more. An engineer must consider design factors for a power system that offers consistent performance and reliability in tough conditions

Designing power solutions for harsh and unpredictable environments requires creating systems that deliver ruggedness, flexibility and scalability. Overcoming the technical challenges entails innovative approaches in mechanical design, heat management, power source compatibility and regulatory compliance. By addressing these areas with precision, engineers can ensure that equipment remains reliable, even in the toughest conditions.

VNX+ or VITA 90 is a small form factor standard useful for ground vehicle computers

VITA 90, also known as VNX+, was developed to offer an alternative form factor to 3U OpenVPX for space, weight, and power (SWaP)-constrained applications. Incorporating nearly all of the technical features of 3U OpenVPX, it boasts a form factor roughly 30% less on a per-slot basis.
