Why Customization

Rugged portable and laptop computers are designed for tough environments but are built in large numbers with common configurations. Sometimes an application demands a change, which can range from the simple mounting of an external GPS connector to a complete I/O transition to circular connectors or internal modifications or add custom features.

Manufacturers are not set up to do these types of modifications and many times are unwilling to consider customization for less than an advance commitment of 500-1,000 units. Hornbill has the required capability to fulfill this need for customized rugged solutions.
