Congatec, SIE team for COM HPC tech
Board maker congatec has teamed up with systems integrator System Industrie Electronic GmbH (S.I.E) on platforms for regulated industries, such as healthcare and medical technology and cybersecurity.
SIE in Lustenau, Austria, is experienced in system design and integration, mass production and assembly of OEM platforms. It makes carrier boards, housings and systems that will use modules from congatec, including server modules using the new COM HPC standard. These will be aimed at regulated industries such as healthcare and medical technology requiring MDR certified medical computers and systems for critical infrastructure needing cyber security certification from federal agencies such as the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).

“We are the only leading embedded computing vendor worldwide that focuses on its core competences. To better serve our OEM customers, who demand individually tailored system-level products with full system responsibility, we invest in strong vertical market partnerships such as the one with S.I.E,” said Gerhard Edi, chief strategy officer of congatec.
“With congatec and S.I.E already serving joint customers in regulated markets such as medical and healthcare as well as critical infrastructures, we have a solid foundation to catapult our established and prospering cooperation into a strategic partnership to multiply this success,”
“Together with congatec we can offer added value as an system integrator, from our own modules to carrier boards and our own system designs with customised and highly integrated solutions for medical and cybersecurity,” said Josef Krojer, General Manager at S.I.E. “The first joint project shows us the potential on the market.”
This was a BSI-certified secunet Konnektor for cybersecurity specialist secunet. This Konnektor is a single-box connector for smaller facilities such as doctors’ offices or pharmacies, and as a data centre connector for hospitals and large medical facilities as part of Germany’s national agency for digital medicine. To date, secunet has already installed more than 83,000 units. The three companies are taking the next step with the development of an MDR-certified gateway for medical technology.
The deal will see the two companies also aim to enter further embedded and edge computing markets for critical infrastructures, such as the financial and insurance sector, water and energy utilities, information technology and telecommunications, and even transportation and traffic, all of which rely on cyber-secure systems for their IT infrastructure.
“Looking at the rising risk of cyber attacks to critical infrastructures and the need for a higher class of quality, traceability and documentation that comes with MDR regulations, we see an ever-increasing amount of applications that can benefit from the strategic partnership between congatec and S.I.E,” said Krojer.
