25-08-2022 | OKdo | Subs & Systems

OKdo, part of RS Group PLC, has agreed on an exclusive partnership with Radxa to manufacture and distribute ROCK SBCs and ROCK SoMs. With community at its core, the move will supercharge the performance and reach of these products through its engineering technology, expertise, ecosystem partners, robust supply chain and global distribution channels.

With its focus on single-board computing for IoT and a customer-first approach at the forefront of the company, it is uniquely positioned to bring the ROCK SBCs to the global market. This new partnership with Radxa continues the company’s evolution towards delivering an accessible range of software, hardware, design services and solutions.

ROCK SBCs are advanced single-board computers developed to empower professional engineers, developers, and students worldwide to rapidly produce innovative products using versatile hardware with a flexible design service model. Its small form factor offers a host of features as standard to allow users to develop connected solutions that are robust and secure.

This range of boards can be customised. The ability to depopulate SBCs with no compromise on their integrity brings tremendous financial and environmental benefits, enabling professional design engineers to use cutting-edge technology for creating high-volume end products that satisfy their precise needs and work towards reducing e-waste.

Co-founder and CTO of OKdo, Richard Curtin, said: “We’ve listened to our customers and understand the challenges that the current supply chain dynamic creates. Our mission is to solve customer problems, and we’re delighted to announce our partnership with Radxa, which allows us to provide leading technology to our customers worldwide. This gives OKdo a unique capability to design, manufacture and distribute globally.”

He went on to say: “We’re putting the engineering community at the heart of our proposition as we acknowledge the importance of providing support to our customers, and we’re actively inviting input from engineers across the globe to offer their expertise to ensure that we are pushing our offering to be the best that it can be.”

OKdo’s VP of Operations, Sarah Fawcett, said: “We have a resilient supply chain and an agile design and manufacturing offer for our customers. Our internal supply chain expertise can help our partners navigate the enormous supply chain risks and challenges to the macro-economic climate today. Manufacturing today is entirely different to a few years ago, and we are ensuring we have coverage, capacity, and supply chain plans to manage uncertainty with our world-class team and partners.”
