What is DTOSTM
Advantech provides 30-Day DTOS (Design To Order Service) for all our System On Module products. SOM product characteristics integrate well into our DTOS process. Advantech can design the customer solution board to the customers' request. You can quickly log in on this web and begin to explore the flexibility and capabilities SOM and DTOS can bring to your product development. Once registered, you can ask questions, request more information, leave the site and come back later, all at your own convenience. All information is strictly confidential. You can go into as much detail about your proposed product as you wish. The Advantech engineers will help every step of the way.
Advantech's System On Module's DTOS provides customers with a wide range of benefits. Fast time to market is of course the cornerstone of all SOM products. Through Design to Order Service, Advantech can deliver three ready to run engineering samples within 30 days after your order is confirmed. Designing and manufacturing a customer solution board is cheaper and faster than designing a "custom" single board computer. SOM and DTOS reduce initial investment costs typically needed for these projects. Customers also reduce their R&D investment and costs, and also minimize other financial and business risks normally associated with ODM projects. Another benefit for customers are the gains made from the ability to realize smaller and more flexible production runs when needed, with the added ability to quickly ramp-up production and change product features always at hand. |

Advantech’s Design To Order Service
(DTOS) helps customers develop custom CPU board
solutions extremely fast and with lower investment.
With DTOS, three ready-to-run engineering samples
can be produced within 30 working days from order
confirmation. Using SOM-DTOS, customers can reduce
traditional customized CPU board development time
and costs by as much as 80%.
SOM is a series of reliable and widely used CPU
cores with high integration features. It supports
fanless operation in very small form factors while
supporting CPUs ranging from GX1 to Pentium 4.
Not only does SOM allow quick design, it also
provides the benefits of easy installation, maintenance
and upgrade ease.
Though small in size, SOM takes care of most
complicated CPU architectures and basic common
circuits. Many system integrators are finding
an Advantech SOM solution already covers 80% of
their feature requirements. This makes SOM a powerful
time and money saver.
SOM+ Customer Solution Board = Your Customized
Platform

Customers in the embedded computing market require different computing platforms to fulfill their application needs. Generally these platforms are mostly comprised of standard or slightly modified “off-the-shelf” products, but there is an increasing demand for customized platforms and solutions.
These customized solutions are a reflection of the embedded market trend in general as it continues to grow, evolve and expand. Technology is changing rapidly and customers want to immediately take advantage of these gains and apply the benefits to their solutions. One good example of this is the increasing prevalence of on-chip functionality that allows computing platforms to become smaller, more powerful and more efficient.
Customized embedded computing products have traditionally had a few common factors associated with them. One is longer development time. Another is higher project cost (especially at startup) and increased project risk. Today’s projects can quickly become outdated by technology or changes in market demand.
Advantech’s standard ODM-DTOS helps customers develop customized embedded solutions in a fast way. Utilizing Advantech’s wide product offerings and years of embedded development experience, customers can define what their product/application needs are and can usually receive several options as solutions. A bit different than the traditional OEM/ODM concept, Advantech and our customer both bring knowledge, ideas and input into the development process.
