BVM Ltd

Since 1989, BVM has provided OEM/ODM design, manufacturing and distribution services for industrial and embedded computer applications. With UK-based facilities and a global network of hardware partners BVM support OEMs and system integrators with custom hardware design, system integration and distribution, ensuring quality and reliability for demanding applications.

BVM’s ‘Design to Order’ services take your ideas from concept to initial designs and prototyping – culminating in manufacturable products.

BVM’s expertise in industrial PC design is unmatched,Our attention to detail and commitment to quality ensures our designs exceeded expectations.

At BVM, we have been designing COM/SOM Carrier Boards, Custom Electronics and PCB’s for many years and have experienced the changes in technology…….

Our system integration and bespoke manufacturing services provide customers with the facility to have their products built & tested to their specific standards.

For those customers looking for a ruggedized PC solution, robust in its design whilst still remaining light in weight for portability, BVM offer our Peli Case PC  design and manufacturing services to provide a ‘system in a case’. Over the many years that BVM have been providing these services, we’ve found no one design is the same as another, so the service we provide for this area of embedded PC design really is specialist and tailored to your exact needs & application. 

Unfortunately, these services are not provided to cater for ‘one off’ requirements. They commence with you providing us with a requirement specification around what you need, which will lead onto further technical & commercial discussions and the mutual development of a prototype for you test & sign off against – leading on to the eventual provision of production units.

As a systems integrator, BVM specialises in custom visual solutions for build-to-order services. We leverage over 30 years of industry relationships to provide unbiased selections of displays and peripherals tailored to each application, ensuring we meet the demands of even the most challenging environments.

BVM can configure and deploy an entire embedded operating system for you
or provide the help you may need to migrate from your current O/S to Windows 10 IoT or Windows 11 IoT.

We at BVM Ltd are specialists in designing, manufacturing, and supplying industrial and embedded computing solutions to OEMs, system integrators, and customers across industries such as rail, aerospace, oil & gas, defence, medical, and transportation. On our website, we share a range of case studies that highlight how we work with clients to deliver tailored solutions. For example, we created a rugged portable PC in a Pelicase for ocean and coastal surveying, engineered to operate in extreme temperatures (–20 °C to +55 °C), with IP67 waterproofing, salt-fog resistance, GNSS-enabled ROV control, EMC compliance, and drop-test resilience. In another project, we developed a custom COM Express carrier board for a global laser technology company, replacing a legacy SBC design to eliminate reliability issues and ensure long-term component availability, making integration and future upgrades far easier. These case studies demonstrate our strengths in bespoke embedded system design, ruggedisation, compliance testing, and close collaboration with clients to deliver reliable, future-proof solutions.

We at BVM Ltd operate an extensive Industrial & Embedded Products Shop, offering OEMs, system integrators, and customers across industries a comprehensive catalogue of ready‑to‑use hardware and components.
