Faster to the system
A BoxPC is designed as a complete system in a housing. This allows new CPU platforms and functions to be quickly evaluated in the target system context and transferred into series solutions.
Embedded BoxPCs and modular hardware platforms
For the rapid implementation of embedded systems, TQ offers modular embedded Box PCs and flexible hardware platforms based on proven computer-on-modules. This makes it possible to quickly validate new processor generations and features and integrate them into series solutions. The focus is on long-term availability, high quality, and the possibility of customer-specific customization. If you are looking for a compact Box PC that integrates reliably into industrial environments, you will find the right entry point into the TQ portfolio here.

Why developers choose Box PCs
Your benefits with TQ Box PCs
- Robust Box PCs and modular platforms for industrial applications
- Sustainable approach through long-term availability, quality, and adaptability
- Flexible expansion via common interfaces and expansion slots
- Suitable options for x86 and Arm applications, depending on performance and power requirements
How to choose the right Box Computer
Three decisions will help you find the right box computer platform quickly:
- Define the architecture: x86 oder Arm®. x86 is suitable when software compatibility, high computing performance, and a broad ecosystem of extensions are the priority. Arm® is often the right choice when energy-efficient systems are required for communication tasks such as gateways, routers, or switches.
- Determine the form factor and installation concept: We offer our standard box PC family concept in the formats eNUC (100 × 100 mm), Euro (160 × 100 mm) and Mini ITX (170 × 170 mm). Choose the format based on available space, mounting requirements, and expansion needs.
- Plan extensions and interfaces: Depending on the platform, expansions via Mini PCIe and M.2 are available. This allows the integration of additional I/Os, wireless modules, fieldbus expansions, or frame grabber cards, for example.
x86 Embedded-PCs / Industrial-PCs for Windows and Linux
The Intel Atom®- and Intel® Core™-based embedded BoxPCs and hardware platforms from TQ impress with their great flexibility and scalability. They offer comprehensive software compatibility, high computing power and support a wide range of mass storage solutions. Thanks to numerous expansion options via interfaces such as Mini PCIe and M.2, frame grabber cards, fieldbus expansions, additional I/Os or wireless modules can be easily integrated. The latest standards such as Wi-Fi 6 also enable fast, stable and energy-efficient wireless connections with high data throughput. The powerful graphics form the basis for high-resolution image processing, modern visualization and a wide range of AI-supported applications, making the systems optimally prepared for industrial use.
ARM based devices
Specializing in applications such as gateways, routers and switches, our Arm®-based complete systems impress with their energy-efficient processor architecture, industrial interfaces and flexible expansion options. They set standards in the area of high-speed communication in particular - thanks to the powerful QorIQ® Layerscape communication processors. The portfolio ranges from compact entry-level solutions based on the i.MX 6UL to powerful Dual Cortex®-A72 variants with an integrated TSN-capable Quad Gigabit Ethernet L2 switch.
Customized solutions in focus
For individual housing solutions and panel PCs, we offer hardware kits that have proven themselves in numerous applications - from medical PCs to IoT gateways. We combine the CPU module, carrier board and cooling solution to precisely meet your requirements.
