With over 35 years of experience in electronics manufacturing and 25+ years of expertise in embedded systems development, KARO Electronics is a globally trusted manufacturer of Computer-on-Module (COM) solutions. Conducting all development, design, prototyping, manufacturing, and final testing processes in-house in Germany ensures long-term product availability, high quality, and direct technical support.

KARO’s QS and TX series COM families are built on STM32MP13/15/23/25, NXP i.MX91/93/8M, and Renesas RZ/G2L processor platforms. They offer a wide range of solutions, from ultra-compact 27×27 mm modules to high-performance i.MX8M-based solutions. Industrial temperature ranges, low power consumption, long lifecycle policy, and scalable architecture make KARO modules ideal for IoT, automation, medical, HMI, edge computing, and rugged device designs.

KARO Electronics COM platforms deliver high performance in compact form factors for modern embedded applications.

• QS Series (Solder-in): 27×27 mm footprint, STM32MPxx & i.MX9 platforms, industrial temperature range, and low power consumption.
• TX Series (Plug-in): Expandable architecture with i.MX6 / i.MX8M / i.MX9–based modules, long-term availability, and high integration flexibility.
• Key Features: LPDDR4 memory options, eMMC storage, extended temperature ranges, and support for modern ARM-based operating systems.

KARO provides end-to-end services from prototyping to mass production across three high-capacity manufacturing facilities equipped with SMT and THT lines. With express prototyping, an optimized supply chain, rigorous quality test procedures, and ISO 9001 certification, the company ensures maximum quality and process reliability. Custom services include hardware variants, pinout modifications, extended temperature classes, memory configurations, and tailored interface designs. KARO’s expert software team—specialized in ARM, Linux, and Windows Embedded ecosystems—offers direct engineering support for BSPs, drivers, testing and debugging, and bootloader optimization.

KARO offers comprehensive engineering support, including product selection, hardware-software integration, operating system support, module customization (memory capacity, CPU variant, pinout changes, temperature class, etc.), board design, firmware development, programming, and quality management. This integrated structure provides customers with a “complete, one-stop solution” for both COM module and electronic board manufacturing.

With its compact size, high reliability, long-term availability, and German manufacturing quality, KARO Electronics is the ideal technology partner for all companies developing modern embedded systems.
