Industrial custom PC builds for mining applications
BST’s custom PC builds are assembled and burn-in tested entirely in-house by experienced technicians, using high-quality parts to meet the user’s specifications and requirements.
We provide compact and fanless PCs for applications with physical space restraints, high ingress protection (IP) ratings for durability and much more.

BST offers a wide range of rugged LCD panel PCs, in-vehicle and embedded PCs.
We also offer a custom-design service whereby the PCs are built to your specifications and customised configuration.
Our range is suitable for wide-temperature fanless computing, machine vision platforms, ultra-compact fanless controllers, in-vehicle computing, surveillance, video analytics and GPU computing. They feature multi-mounting options (such as DIN, VESA and wall), support for multiple display monitors and Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports for video surveillance.
With military, railway and marine certifications, our ultra-rugged embedded PCs have been designed for transport applications such as emergency services, mining vehicles, public transport, aerospace & aviation, utilities, field services and shipping.
These ultra-rugged PCs have 10+ years of availability and 20+ years repairability for long-term reliability and consistent use, reducing the total cost of ownership and allowing for greater ease of mind through consistent product performance.
