Building embedded computing products to survive the rigors of demanding environments requires experience and expertise. For two decades, Themis has been designing and building superior computing solutions that are easy to integrate, inexpensive to own and operate, and that achieve an optimal balance between standard commercial technology and rugged environments.

Themis leverages thermal and kinetic management expertise to optimize space, weight, and performance while providing reliable operation in extreme operating temperature, shock, vibration and corrosive environments. Themis products meet rugged requirements for seaboard, land vehicles, helicopters, aircraft, and unmanned vehicles. Depending on the application, Themis products meet the following ruggedization challenges:

Challenge Description
Shock, Drop, and Vibration Survive high shock/vibration expected in military, transportation, and industrial environments (land, air, and sea )
Temperature and Humidity Withstand adverse effects due to heat, cold, and moisture exposure that can stress or fatigue, and temporarily or permanently impair the physical properties of the hardware
Space, Weight, and Power (SWAP) Provide as much performance, in as little space, at the lowest power possible corrosive, and sand and dust – Resist abrasion or corrosion of surfaces, penetration of seals, fouling of moving parts, and degradation of electrical circuits
Acoustic Noise Reduction Enable quiet operation/sound dampening
Low Pressure/Altitude Withstand and operate in low pressure environments and withstand rapid pressure changes Immersion in Water – Withstand fluid penetration
Low EMI Contain conducted and radiated emissions
Susceptibility Operate in high electromagnetic fields
