ADEK Industrial Computers

What ADEK Industrial Computers does

ADEK Technical Sales, Inc., doing business as ADEK Industrial Computers, is a privately held US manufacturer of custom-configured industrial computing systems headquartered at 3 Infinity Drive, Raymond, New Hampshire. The company designs and builds industrial PCs — including rack mount (1U–4U), panel mount, mid-tower/desktop, embedded, and compact form factors — engineered for environments with shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, dust, and water exposure. Its underlying technology stack spans long-life industrial motherboards (ATX, Extended ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX, Nano-ITX, Pico-ITX, PICMG, COM Express), single board computers (PICMG 1.0/1.3, CompactPCI, VPX, PC/104), backplanes, redundant industrial power supplies (400W–600W), rugged chassis with shock-mounted drive bays, and panel PCs/industrial monitors. A defining technical capability is simultaneous support for legacy interfaces (ISA, PCI) and modern PCIe/PICMG standards, addressing long-life industrial deployments and customers running older equipment alongside current platforms.

The company serves four primary use-case segments: industrial automation and control, edge computing and IoT, AI/HPC and data-intensive computing, and OEM/embedded platforms. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of custom-configured systems and components, supplemented by OEM services (custom labeling and packaging, chassis design, system imaging, testing and certification, lifecycle management), some of which is bundled free with hardware purchases. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing, supported by an inside sales team reachable via phone (1-800-431-2335) and email. A 2024 addition to the channel mix is industrialcomputers.com, an e-commerce storefront for configuring and purchasing Cincoze-branded embedded systems manufactured by ADEK in the US. ARBOR Technology embedded systems and panel PCs are also resold as sub-brands. The company operates from a single US location, offers a standard 2-year warranty on industrial computers with lifetime technical support, and has no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, or parent company.
