Centurion Micro Electronics (CME) was founded in 1993. Since then the company has focused only on the industrial/embedded PC field.
CME believes that the embedded PC is becoming more and more embedded into appliances in such a way that the PC itself will become hardly recognisable - much like what happened to the electric motor 100 years ago.
Centurion Micro Electronics understands that its clients have different requirements. For example, for some, the utmost reliability, extended temperature operation and small size might be a top requirement whereas for others, price and value for money might be more important. To be able to cater for everybody the company has a selected range of suppliers from various countries such as USA, Europe and Taiwan. These include RTD, Sandisk, Digital Logic, Aaeon, ICP, ICPDAS, Axiom and others.
CME also understands its clients' needs in obtaining a total solution from preferably one local supplier. Its range of suppliers enables it to provide its customers with chassis, power supplies, single board computers, I/O cards, flat panels, and touch-screens etc. If it cannot provide a product from one of its existing suppliers it will do its utmost to find it from elsewhere in the world.
CME also does its own development. This began with simple interfacing boards that could integrate products from different suppliers. The next step was its own AD card as well as various Compactflash and a PCMCIA reader for desktop PCs. CME has also mastered the ability to integrate Digital Logic's smart486PC module. This is a complete 486-based PC with BIOS, Flash, RAM and IO in one chip/module. With the smart486PC module the company can develop SBC cards as per clients' exact requirements. These requirements could include physical shape, size, added features, connector placements, pin-outs etc.
The company's future plans are to develop its own product range of embedded PC products. It has a working prototype of its own 386SX-based PC104 CPU card - to be industrialised and repackaged in many variations during 2001. Centurion Micro Electronics is also positioning itself for e-commerce and hopes to use this as part of an international marketing exercise in the near future.
CME is based in Centurion, Gauteng. For any information about embedded control contact them on (012) 661 4576.
