Interactive information terminals in block of flat entrances – with energy saving
function
Flat screens has become large and cheaper and are now the first choice for
information in corporate receptions, in shops and shopping malls, at train
stations, in hospitals etc. Add a touch function and an embedded computer inside
the screen on top of that and you get a perfect solution for information display
and interactivity. Capax got the project to supply suitable information
equipment and displays in the entrance of blocks of flats. Capax and the
customer went for a 26” Panel PC with touch and computer inside. The customer
also wanted the Panel PC to be active only when a person watched or was close to
the screen. The solution was a new product developed by Capax, a motion detector
connected to the Panel PC that activate the computer and the screen when someone
approaches the Panel PC.

Tailor made embedded computer for machines that sort, count and exchange coin
and banknotes
In 1998 Capax got the contract to develop embedded computers for one of the
world leading manufacturers of banking equipment. Due to a limited space inside
the machines and the detailed specification on the types and location of the
computer ports a custom made solution was chosen. Capax is now, eleven years
later, shipping the third generation of custom made computers to this customer.
The latest model is based on an ETX module with custom made carrier board and
chassis. Since 2005 this model has shipped in more than 4000 units.
Marine approved 19” rack based industrial computer
Since 2001 Capax has developed and manufactured marine approved computers. Among
the customers during these years is one of the world leading manufacturers of
computer based navigation solutions for large ships. A marine approved computer
has to pass marine specific tests for vibration and EMC. When the computer has
passed all the marine tests it gets an IEC-945/EN60945 approval. This approval
is then used to classify the computer by one or several members of the
International Association of Classification Societies, for example Lloyds or
Rina. Once classified the computer could be used onboard a ship and the ship
could be insured by an insurance company. Example of ships running Capax
computers for navigation are the STENA Line passenger ships and all the Maersk
shipping vessels.
