As mentioned, the solution is a marine engine controller, which means it will encounter water sometime during its lifespan and can not be sensitive to its surrounding environment. To ensure that the computer will be able to work without error the option fell on designing it according to IP56 with an operating temperature spanning from -25°C to +55°C. The computer is also IEC 60529 tested and DNV marine type approved.
Finally, but not any less important, is the production cost. The new solution will have a much lower price tag per unit than its predecessor and will give the customer new possibilities and open up to new markets.
