The Red Carpet Treatment: Cannes Film Festival, Oscars, and Custom Electronic Design
I am huge movie buff! In fact, I often have conversations with my brothers using just movie quotes (and our wives are embarrassed every time). However, despite my love for movies, I’ve never enjoyed watching the Cannes Film Festival or the Oscars. I will check the day after to see who won the major awards […]
Modified COTS and the Super Bowl
I came on board to SECO USA just over a week ago and have spent a lot of my time familiarizing myself with the products and services we offer. Maybe it’s because the Super Bowl is this weekend or football is just always on my mind, but as I learned about SECO USA’s custom products […]
How to Accelerate Time to Market for Electronic Products
For companies designing next generation electronic devices for the medical, industrial, or military industries, there are several modern development processes that can accelerate time to market. The first process involves using a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) single board computer (SBC) as the main processor board for the new product design. Instead of starting from scratch designing all […]

Modified COTS, Customizing OTS Rugged Tablets to Meet System Requirements
At SECO USA, we take the concept of modified COTS to a new level. While many companies offer “custom” configurations of their standard products, they are still offering certain specific configurations that may or may not meet your needs. (Remember Gateway computers circa 2000?) SECO USA, on the other hand, offers full flexibility in the customization […]
Introducing the Fury-X Single Board Computer Based on the Freescale i.MX 6SoloX
Freescale i.MX 6Solo X: The Perfect Processor for Secure, Low-Power Mobile devices The i.MX 6SoloX has a heterogeneous architecture, which means that the processor includes different core types. The 6SoloX includes two ARM processor cores: a Cortex-M4 microcontroller-class core and a Cortex-A9 microprocessor-class core. The benefit of heterogeneous cores is that – when correctly configured […]
Mechanical Engineer Review: Functional Rapid Prototype Enclosures
On a current project, we designed a modified COTS 7″ ruggedized tablet based on our Hydra-F6. The project required expanded battery life and customized sealed connectors. In order to meet the requirements, we had to build a completely new enclosure. Prototype parts in this size and quantity ( We considered various prototype processes including stereolithography […]
