Thinking globally
Need an Industrial PC fast?
Owing to our spacious 35,000 sq.ft. UK facility, and our close partnership with Advantech, we are able to keep stock of all major chassis and components ready for you to select during your configuration stage. Once we receive your order, our dedicated Build Technicians get straight to work and will deliver your built, configured and tested rack computers in just a few days.
We're thinking a little differently
Rather than only offering inflexible, pre-configured systems, the brains at Advantech HQ have tested and certified a huge number of combinations of components to IEC 62368-1. We then stock these components here in the UK, and allow you to configure and order your systems to your exact specifications online through our configurator tool. We'll then get in touch to discuss how we can tailor your system to your exact requirements before we begin your build.
Your software and expansion cards? No problem
At Impulse we build thousands of bespoke industrial and embedded computers every year and have done so for over 25 years. Our experience of integrating expansion cards, configuring software and creating bespoke disk images ensures you can have confidence in the reliability and compatibility of your VELA systems. You can free-issue your expansion cards and upload your software to our secure servers, or even come and visit us if it's safe to do so. We will discuss all the settings and configuration you require and apply this to your build specification and system.
Did you need something a little different?
If you need something a little more bespoke, with your logo perhaps or even a complete chassis redesign, our Design Engineers can perform a 360 Assessment with you and help you through your design stage, please just don't ask us to deliver in a few days! So, if you are an OEM, or a system integrator who needs something a little specific than our COTS systems, there is a whole world of customisation options available to you by speaking to our team.
Global certification and service
All of our VELA Rack systems have the ability to be certified for global distribution and service through our close relationship with Advantech. If you are a UK OEM but your primary market is in a different territory, or you are a manufacturer with sites located globally, we can help create a system that enables deployment of all your systems regardless of their location. Contact our technical sales team for further assistance.

“We are delighted to power the VELA Rack range by Impulse Embedded. There is a sizeable market demand for configurable rack PC systems across the UK. We feel Impulse is ideally positioned to support its customers’ projects, and serve as an essential link between themselves and manufacturing partners like Advantech.”
