Kontron supplier in Romania
Embedded industrial computers for Industry 4.0
Founded in 1959 · Headquarters: Linz, Austria
Who is Kontron and what does it make?
Kontron designs and manufactures embedded industrial computing equipment for Industry 4.0 applications, with its registered office in Linz, Austria. From the portfolio we can quote edge computing modules and platforms, integrated systems for automation, solutions for rail transport and 5G connectivity equipment. Kontron is a global supplier to the industrial IoT sector, with operations and subsidiaries in several countries.
What sets the Kontron offer apart is the combination of embedded hardware and the company's own software that runs on it: the KontronOS operating system, designed for the security of edge devices, and the Kontron ToolSuite solution for configuring the BIOS/UEFI and the system. These solutions are designed to support compliance with the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), an aspect increasingly demanded for equipment connected to a factory's IT network.
For the Romanian market, the Kontron range makes sense for system integrators and automation designers who need a robust industrial computer with long-term support, for a digitalisation project on a production line or a rail transport infrastructure.
What do we supply from the Kontron range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| KontronOS Operating System | Secure operating system built for edge devices, with emphasis on software lifecycle management and on reducing the attack surface of the equipment. Designed as an alternative to a generic operating system, when the equipment stays connected to the factory network for years. |
| Kontron ToolSuite | Central management solution for configuring the BIOS/UEFI and the system on Kontron industrial platforms. |
| Smart Railway Solutions | Industrial computing equipment dedicated to rail transport, for on-board systems, signalling or infrastructure monitoring, where reliability requirements and equipment lifetime exceed the usual industrial standard. |
| 5G Connectivity Equipment | Modules and platforms with support for 5G networks, useful for automation projects where cable communication is impractical or where high bandwidth is needed between the machine and the central system. |
Why Kontron?
- Own software platform (KontronOS) supplied together with the hardware, designed specifically for the security of edge devices
- Support for compliance with the Cyber Resilience Act, relevant for industrial networks connected to IT
- Dedicated solutions for rail transport (Smart Railway), not just generic industrial computing
- 5G connectivity coverage, useful for automation projects with high-speed wireless communication
- Global presence through subsidiaries in several countries, useful for long-term support of a project

How do we supply Kontron in Romania?
What we know about Kontron comes from the technical documentation of the Austrian manufacturer, and where the documentation does not give the information, we say so clearly instead of filling in from assumptions. We source Kontron platforms and modules to order through European Union supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks from confirmation. For a correct quotation we need the exact product code, the operating system the application will run on and any certification requirements for the installation environment. Availability from stock is not permanent for any reference in the range; each request is checked individually with the supplier before the order is confirmed.
KontronOS software configuration is carried out with the system integrator.
Frequently asked questions about Kontron
What is the Kontron K3836-Q/R board?
K3836-Q/R is an mITX-format board from the Kontron portfolio, developed for next-generation game consoles and embedded systems that need high graphics performance in a small space. The mITX format allows integration into compact chassis while keeping extensive connectivity options.
What is the difference between VPX boards and CG platforms from Kontron?
VPX boards, such as VX307C or VX33211, are processing or graphics modules intended for modular embedded systems in defence and industry, mounted in standardised chassis. Platforms from the CG series, such as CG2000 and CG2500, are complete edge computing systems, designed for harsh environments without classic server infrastructure.
What information do we ask for before preparing a quotation for Kontron equipment?
We need the target application, for example industrial edge computing, avionics or game consoles, and the required performance, operating temperature and interfaces. With this information we can indicate the suitable family in the Kontron portfolio, the exact version then being confirmed from the manufacturer's technical documentation.
Do you supply Kontron equipment in Romania?
Kontron equipment is sourced to order, usually in 1–4 weeks from confirmation, since the range is not kept on the shelf, covering very different embedded boards, edge systems and mission computers.
What is a mission computer such as the Kontron Cobalt S1901?
Cobalt S1901 is an embedded computer intended for critical applications in defence or transport, built to operate under vibration, shock and extreme temperatures. Such systems often run specialised software for processing sensor data in real time, directly at the point of use.
How do I request a Kontron quotation?
