The GoldTek Advantage

For industrial control applications, devices must meet two basic requirements: first, the ability to implement test and control tasks on site to satisfy the requirement of real-time monitoring; second, the devices must have networking capability for remote controlling and monitoring. In addition to meeting these requirements, GoldTek also committed to provides customized services to meet individual clients’ unique demands for industrial control applications.

“We are excited by the innovation and industry expertise GoldTek demonstrates with Windows Embedded Handheld platforms and technologies,” said John Boladian, marketing director for Windows Embedded APAC at Microsoft. “By leveraging the power of Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, Goldtek offers comprehensive industrial control solutions that help customers capitalize on the insight gained through connected intelligent systems—today and moving forward.”

GoldTek delivers flexible design and production services, providing clients with turnkey solutions or solutions-for-single-need. The services range from product design, to mass production. GoldTek also provides strict quality control services, after-sales services and analysis services. Moreover, GoldTek helps incorporate the product into the client’s production line for mass production and develop automation programs and fixtures.

Moreover, Texas Instruments OMAP 3 and 4 series were applied to GoldTek’s industrial, medical, automated controllers, and other related portable devices to significantly improve the efficiency of front-end computing and graphics processing. In addition, the low-power consumption extends operating times, improves product life cycles, and expands applications fields. It is undeniably the leading SoC in industrial control.
