Company

I needed several mini PCs for different purposes for my work. After some searching I found BASCO, they helped me very well. I had some specific requirements for the PCs and they were able to meet them by making some hardware adjustments to the PCs. Contact with the employees is good and they respond quickly to my questions. Despite customizing the PCs, delivery is super fast. The price is certainly not expensive either! I would definitely recommend BASCO if you are looking for mini PC!

After nine production halts caused by thermal failures in legacy control systems, we discovered BASCO through a Google search for "IP67-rated industrial computers with EMI resistance." Despite a 22% cost advantage over industry-standard solutions, it was the German TÜV-certified EN 60068-2-6 vibration compliance (validated 15G shock resistance) that convinced us to implement these units in our automotive welding lines.

While BASCO's multi-year deployment cycles demand meticulous planning, their engineering rigor delivered flawless integration with our legacy automation layers. The support team aced our toughest challenge: zero-downtime migration of mission-critical assembly line controls. Their multi-layered hardware redundancy design eliminated single-point failures we’d tolerated for years. What truly sets BASCO apart? Full lifecycle support that proactively updated compliance frameworks six months before new IEC standards took effect. For partners who view industrial computing as a 10-year strategic asset, not a commodity, this is next-level partnership.
