Regardless to the sizes, power of performances, fan/fanless operations or chassis colors, we offer custom design motherboards and embedded computer solutions for your applications.

Established in 1990, BCM Advanced Research has over 17 years experience designing and manufacturing custom and standard controller boards. In addition to the off-the-shelf motherboards, BCM specializes in Custom Motherboards Designs especially for the Medical, Gaming/Lottery, POS, ATM, Kiosk and Industrial Automation industries. Located in Irvine, Southern California, our R&D engineering team is able to provide professional development and prompt prototyping services upon customer’s requirements. Our capabilities to provide Custom Design services are:

Complete turn-key design and manufacturing services for Customized Industrial Motherboards or Customized Barebones and Systems where:

• The customer defines the specification
• The customer maintains ownership of the design
• The BCM design team is based in our Irvine, California location
• BCM ensures the design can achieve a minimum 5 year lifecycle prior to last-time-buy

Both our Customized Industrial Motherboards and Customized Industrial Barebones and Systems:

• Can be customized specific to our customers' requirements
• Have a guaranteed 3 to 5 year plus product lifecycles
• Are designed for 24-hour operation - 365 days per year
• Have a US based design and project management team in Irvine, CA
• Are manufactured in our own off-shore factory for competitive pricing
• Have Holistic BOM & Revision Control

The commitment and the value we bring, in addition to our first class design team and manufacturing, is demonstrated in the additional qualifications below:

• ISO 9001-2000 Certified

• Strict ECO/ECN Process: BCM Advanced Research has a strict policy restricting any hardware, firmware, component, or driver change without official notification through our formal Engineering Change Order process. Without exception, all engineering change orders on customer boards require formal customer endorsement before taking effect. Few companies can guarantee such stringent control.

• 100% Factory Burn-in or JTAG testing: Included in our quotation is a 100% factory burn-in or JTAG testing for each board prior to shipping. This quality measure minimizes the chance out of box failures and reduces RMA overhead.

• Intel Schematic Design Review: As an Intel® Alliance Member, BCM may request Intel® to review any of our Intel technology based designs during the schematic phase prior to layout and gerber.

• Designed for 24/7 Operation: The high-grade components we use, combined with the high density component placement in our designs, separates our system boards from the standard commercial boards designed for 9-to-5 use in a non-challenging desktop environments. Our system boards are designed for 24/7 operation in non-optimum conditions.

• Local Software and Hardware Engineering Resources: BCM has a staff of hardware and software engineers located in Irvine, CA to interface real time with our US based customers during the design and qualification process as well as to provide continued post-design support which is far superior than relying on offshore engineering.

• Local Logistical Support Team: BCM has local resources available to communicate real-time on logistics including but not limited to materials purchasing, shipping, scheduling, sourcing accessories such as custom cables, addressing quick-turn requests, printing labels, documentation, RMA, and many other items.
