REN™ MINI
The REN™ Story
Designed & manufactured in Australia, REN™ was developed as a building block for engineers to rapidly develop applications that need to run on rugged, fully sealed hardware at the edge.
Drawing a pedigree from military specified foundations, REN™ is the ultimate starting point for engineers wanting an extremely, versatile & highly capable COTS embedded solution at a fraction of the cost of its MILSPEC equivalent.
What is REN MINI?
REN™ MINI is not a general purpose computer, it is a Rugged Embedded NODE, a high-end quad core i7, in a fully sealed conduction cooled case. REN™ MINI is effectively a large heatsink for the high powered processor that allows the processing engine to be used in extremely rugged and harsh environments where the usual die-cast and extruded cases just wont do the job.
ITEM OF UTILITY
REN™ series are items of utility for engineers who would normally build these systems themselves, but due to a lack of project time and low quantity requirements, an off-the-shelf solution is a more viable option. The REN™ MINI is a box that is fully sealed against water, electromagnetic compatbility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
IO PLATE
Supplied with a blank IO plate & pre-drilled locations for PSU and SSD, it is a platform that is “rugged and ready” for engineers to develop into their required system specific to task.
