Rapid Customization of Motherboards, Computer-on-Modules & COM Carriers in 4 to 8 weeks
Emerson Network Power’s RapiDex™ service offers optimized board designs for all applications where a COTS board is not suitable. The RapiDex™ service is a rapid board customization program that allows OEMs to specify processor, I/O, connector and other options within a custom board form factor. The service is available for boards using Intel® embedded processors.

The RapiDex™ service is fast and remarkably straightforward for the customer to use: no special contracts, no statements of work and no project supervision are required. And unlike conventional customization engagements, the customer need make no commitment on production volume numbers, and the minimum order quantity is merely 100 units.

The RapiDex™ service is also priced to reflect the resources of the vast majority of embedded design projects: the customer pays a small manufacturing setup fee, no Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) fees, and unit costs per board shipped are comparable to the
price of a standard part.

This new service is the result of innovative developments in design and manufacturing automation pioneered by Emerson Network Power, and it brings the advantages of board customization to a far wider range of embedded OEMs than could previously benefit from it.

As one of the most respected vendors in the embedded board space, Emerson is a Premier partner in the Intel® Embedded Alliance and collaborates closely with Intel to enable customers to bring products to market quickly. Emerson’s RapiDex service is based on select Intel embedded processors and chipsets, with custom boards available within a few weeks of silicon launch.

The manufacturing set up fee covers a number of services including:

• Custom heat-spreader design
• Custom shield design
• Development support
• Custom BIOS splash screen
• Flat panel support adaptation for common panels
• Three-year supply commitment
• Two-year warranty

Additional services available include:

• Extended warranty
• Major BIOS customization
• BIOS/security updates
• OS certification
