Rugged fanless computers are essential for off-highway and construction environments where standard embedded systems fail. Dust, humidity, extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration quickly destroy conventional hardware and cause costly downtime.
Syslogic rugged fanless computers are fully sealed, maintenance-free, and engineered for certified off-highway and construction machinery. With extended temperature ranges, high vibration resistance, and AI-ready performance, they deliver reliable Edge AI computing for machine vision, automation, and real-time field data processing.
Rugged embedded computers are critical for mining vehicles and off-highway trucks operating in extreme environments. These machines rank among the largest and most heavily stressed vehicles in the world and are deployed in mines globally. Size alone is not enough – maximum robustness and reliability are mandatory.
Rugged fanless vehicle computers for crawler excavators and wheel loaders support data logging, control, data acquisition, and V2V/V2I communication. Syslogic systems are certified to EN 60068-2-64 (vibration) and EN 60068-2-27 (shock) for reliable use in construction machinery.
Rugged fanless computers used in oil exploration and mining must withstand oil, spray, dust, and extreme environmental stress. Conventional embedded systems fail quickly under these conditions. Syslogic ruggedized computers feature reinforced housings and industrial-grade electronics with protection ratings up to IP67/IP69, ensuring reliable long-term operation in the harshest environments.
Syslogic fanless rugged computers are built for construction machinery and off-highway use. Designed for extreme conditions, they resist shock, vibration, dust, and temperature extremes, delivering reliable computing for heavy-duty industrial applications.
Engineered for reliable performance in extreme environments, Syslogic’s fanless embedded systems are designed and certified to operate within a wide temperature range of –40 °C up to +85 °C.
Syslogic’s fanless rugged box PCs are designed to reliably synchronize data from RADAR, LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, and other sensors. This enables deterministic, real-time decision-making in demanding robotics, mobility, and autonomous system applications.

When shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures push hardware to its limits, only truly rugged systems deliver dependable performance. Syslogic’s industrial-grade embedded systems are engineered to operate reliably in the most demanding conditions. Our experts help you choose the right ruggedized hardware solution for your specific application.
Syslogic’s fanless rugged computers are deployed worldwide in demanding, industrial-grade applications. The company regularly publishes customer success stories in its Embedded Blog, highlighting real-world use cases across industrial sectors.
Current applications include automated and remotely operated mining vehicles developed by Steer AS, as well as a vision-based safety system for construction machinery from 3rd Eye Robotics. In all cases, Syslogic’s fanless embedded computers are used to ensure reliable operation under harsh environmental conditions. Designed specifically for extreme temperatures, shock, vibration, and dust exposure, the industrial computers of the Syslogic Rugged Series rank among the most robust embedded systems available on the market.
Electronics used in excavators, wheel loaders, mining vehicles, tractors, and autonomous agricultural robots must operate reliably under extreme conditions. Shock, vibration, dust, moisture, and wide temperature ranges quickly expose the limits of standard industrial PCs, which often fail prematurely in such environments. This is why manufacturers increasingly rely on rugged embedded computers designed specifically for harsh field operations.
Truly rugged embedded computers are built on durable, long-lifecycle components and a hardware architecture optimized for high resistance to shock and vibration. Fanless rugged systems are especially well suited for these applications, as they operate without moving parts and eliminate typical mechanical failure points associated with active cooling. Thermal management is handled by a robust, purpose-designed enclosure that efficiently dissipates heat while protecting the electronics from physical impact, dust, and moisture. This enclosure is not an accessory – it is a core part of the system design.
Equally important is industrial-grade connectivity. Fanless rugged embedded computers typically use screw-locked M12 connectors to ensure secure, vibration-resistant power and data connections, even in continuously operating, high-stress environments.
Fanless rugged computers used in industrial equipment must remain available and supported over long lifecycles, often 10 years or more. Syslogic designs its rugged embedded computers specifically for long-term industrial use, with a strong focus on consistent availability, reliability, and lifecycle stability.
All Syslogic fanless rugged computers follow a Fixed Bill of Materials (BOM), ensuring that components remain unchanged throughout the product lifecycle. This guarantees long-term compatibility, reduces validation and maintenance efforts, and prevents forced system redesigns caused by component obsolescence rather than performance limitations.
To further protect long-term investments, Syslogic offers retrofit devices that act as one-to-one replacements for legacy embedded systems. These retrofit solutions allow seamless upgrades or replacements without modifying existing software or hardware architectures.
High-quality fanless rugged computers are extensively tested and certified before entering series production. Reputable manufacturers validate their systems against recognized industry standards and provide clear, verifiable documentation to confirm reliable operation under real-world conditions.
For fanless rugged embedded computers, this typically includes vibration testing in accordance with EN 60068-2-64 across a frequency range of 5 to 2000 Hz, as well as shock testing based on EN 60068-2-27. Independent third-party certifications are a strong indicator that the system consistently meets its specified mechanical and environmental limits.
Ingress protection is equally critical. Fanless rugged computers used in harsh industrial environments commonly require IP67 or IP69 ratings. IP67 confirms complete protection against dust ingress and resistance to temporary water immersion up to one meter. IP69, by contrast, certifies resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets used during intensive wash-down cleaning. It is important to note that IP69 certification does not automatically include IP67 compliance. Each ingress protection rating addresses different environmental stresses and must be tested and certified independently.
