IPC Experts out of Conviction
BEG Bürkle GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1983 in Schönaich as a family business and is now headquartered in Herrenberg. With around 30 employees, the company develops and manufactures requirement-specific industrial PCs, known as BEGits, and distributes them worldwide. The portfolio comprises four product lines: the fanless ArcticLine systems, the actively cooled BoxLine systems for control cabinet integration, 19-inch rack systems from 1U to 4U (RackLine), and the fully individually configurable CustomLine systems. In addition, BEG offers contract manufacturing including series delivery and EOL management, populated and tested mainboard kits with traceable serial numbers, cable solutions, programmed storage solutions and display devices such as KVM consoles and touch monitors. In-house development is carried out using 3D CAD (SolidWorks), x86 system concepts and customized cooling concepts. Fields of application include, among others, semiconductor manufacturing, event technology, CT metrology, safety engineering, textiles, printing and process engineering.

Additional services
Quality made in Germany
As part of system development, the BEGits undergo comprehensive quality assurance measures, including tests of boot behavior, extreme temperatures, EMC, safety, shock, vibration and noise emissions, as well as 24h burn-in tests (e.g. 24 h at 40 °C or 50 °C) and 24/7 continuous operation capability. All approvals according to CE, UL, FCC and CSA are standard; incoming goods inspection, system tests and traceability via BEG serial numbers safeguard the quality.
