Nexcom Vehicle Mount Computers (VMC) are rugged all-in-one panel PCs designed for in-vehicle use, integrating compute, display, and I/O in a single, fanless enclosure. They are divided into 4 types based on display size: 12-inch, 10-inch, 8-inch, and 7-inch respectively. These units target logistics, fleet management, public transit and other transportation applications requiring real-time data processing and communication. For example, the 7″ VMC 1110 consolidates functions like data collection, location tracking, job dispatching, and vehicle diagnostics into one touch-screen device, replacing multiple standalone systems. This integration simplifies operations and boosts efficiency for mobile workforces in industries such as transportation, logistics and even police patrols. Nexcom’s VMCs typically feature very bright LCDs (often 1000 nits or more for sunlight readability), programmable function keys, and support for GNSS, Wi-Fi, LTE/5G, CAN and other connectivity. They are built for harsh environments: many models carry IP65 or IP54 front-panel ratings, wide temperature ranges, and MIL-STD vibration/shock tolerance, making them ideal as transport panel PCs in trucks, buses, forklifts, trains, and more.

Nexcom Vehicle Mount Computers 7-inch

The 7-inch VMC series comprises ultra-compact all-in-one units for space-constrained vehicles. These models (VMC 110/111, VMC 1100, VMC 1110) offer a 7″ 1024x600 resistive touch screen and are typically powered by energy efficient ARM or Intel Atom CPUs. They are front-IP54 rated, handling water splashes and dust on the screen side. For example, the VMC-1110 is a 7″ vehicle computer powered by a dual-core Intel Atom x7211RE, designed for vehicle tracking and dispatching in applications like container trucks and forklifts. These compact PCs include features like 5 programmable function keys, CAN bus support, GNSS, and a wide 9-36 V DC input. They run Linux or Android by default and offer rich I/O (multiple USB, serial, CAN, Ethernet ports, etc.) for connecting sensors and peripherals in vehicles. Overall, the 7″ VMC models are aimed at fleet management and logistic tasks where high mobility and durability are required.

Nexcom Vehicle Mount Computers 8-inch

The 8-inch class includes two current models: VMC 2020 and VMC 220. Both are fully IP65-sealed all-in-one panel PCs, featuring an 8″ 1280x800 display. The VMC 2020 is powered by an Intel Atom x7-E3950 processor, while the VMC 220 uses an NXP i.MX8M. These devices are rated for extreme environments (wide 9-60 V DC input, MIL-STD vibration, etc.) and support AC/DC wide-range power. They also offer comprehensive I/O (M.2 slots, mini-PCIe, Wi-Fi/LTE, CAN, multiple USB, GbE) and bright P-Cap touchscreens suitable for outdoor use.

Nexcom Vehicle Mount Computers 10-inch

Nexcom’s 10-inch VMC lineup comprises several high-brightness panel PCs intended for warehouse, port, and intralogistics use. All 10.1″ models have IP65-rated front panels, 1000 nits brightness, and support wide 9-60 V DC input. Notably, Nexcom offers both ARM-based and x86-based variants: the VMC 320 uses an NXP i.MX 8M Plus (ARM Cortex-A53), while the VMC 3030 uses an Intel Atom x7-E433RE for Windows/Linux compatibility. Both models share rugged feature sets (wide DC input, CAN FD, 3xUSB, Ethernet, HDMI for dual display) and are suited to public transportation and commercial vehicles. In summary, the 10″ series delivers flexibility and rugged reliability for demanding field applications.

Nexcom Vehicle Mount Computers 12-inch

The only 12.1″ model is the VMC 4020, a fully-sealed rugged panel PC. It features a 12.1″ resistive-touch display and an Intel Atom x7-E3950 2.0 GHz processor. Among Nexcom VMCs, the 4020 offers full IP65 sealing (all sides). It includes 4 GB DDR3L RAM, a SATA slot for SSD, CFast slot, 2xGigabit LAN, 3xMini-PCIe (PCIe+USB) slots, GPS, and a 9-60V DC power input. This large-format unit is ideal where maximum screen area is needed for complex in-vehicle interfaces.
