Challenge

How do you make complex control systems reliable?

Our customer needed a compact, high-performance chassis to support their proprietary control card and embedded computer.

Their system manages hydraulic pipes carrying oil, requiring precise monitoring and communication with applications controlling the pipelines.

The challenge was integrating their electronics into a reliable rack system, including LED indicators and full connectivity for operational control, while ensuring the solution could withstand extreme field conditions.

Solution

With a custom rugged subrack

In close collaboration with the customer, Blue Line developed a custom subrack system tailored to their requirements.

Leveraging knowledge of suppliers, production capabilities, and specifications, we evaluated existing standard products but ultimately designed a solution together with the customer that met all functional and operational needs.

The chassis ensures seamless integration of the customer’s control card, embedded computer, and I/O, while maintaining ruggedness, scalability, and compliance with environmental standards.
