Background
In today’s connected foodservice market, equipment manufacturers are under pressure to deliver smarter, more intuitive systems for restaurants, cafes, and beverage stations. Whether it’s a self-serve drinks dispenser, countertop fryer, or commercial oven, operators expect HMIs that look good as they perform: responsive, networked, and easy to maintain.
These systems run continuously in harsh environments, exposed to heat, moisture, and aggressive cleaning cycles, while needing to present crisp, high-resolution graphics and fast touchscreen response.
Ezurio, a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of wireless modules, System-on-Modules (SOMs), and Single Board Computers (SBCs), recognized this shift early. Leveraging its experience across connectivity and embedded platforms, Ezurio partnered with MediaTek to develop the Tungsten HMI, a ready-to-deploy HMI built on the MediaTek Genio 510 platform. This solution combines compute, display, and enclosure in one integrated system, eliminating the costly integration and validation work engineers typically face when sourcing components from multiple vendors.
“We’ve built the core of this product for years—SOMs, carrier boards, wireless modules, and enclosures,” said Pejman Kalkhoran, VP of Strategic Business Development at Ezurio. “Now they’re combined in a single, field-tested HMI that saves our customers time, cost, and engineering effort.”
Critical Needs
Designing reliable industrial HMIs presents many recurring challenges for equipment manufacturers
Complex Integration
Traditional HMIs often require multiple vendors and validation cycles, adding cost and complexity.
Performance Limitations
Legacy platforms struggle to support high-resolution graphics and real-time workloads.
Durability
Devices must operate reliably under heat, humidity, and frequent cleaning.
Lifecycle Longevity
Industrial products often need 10+ years of availability and service, which typical consumer-grade electronics can’t guarantee.
Compliance and Certification
Each hardware change can trigger new EMC, wireless, and safety testing, delaying time-to-market.
MediaTek Solution
Ezurio’s strength is in delivering a complete, production-ready platform, that reduces integration time, certification risk, and overall engineering effort. Powered by the MediaTek Genio 510, the Tungsten HMI provides OEMs with a compact, high-performance platform for graphics, edge AI, and long-term reliability in next-generation food and beverage equipment.
Key solution highlights:
- Integrated Architecture: Combines Ezurio’s Tungsten510 SMARC SOM, 10.1” touch display, and dedicated HMI carrier with RS485, CAN, dual GbE, USB, HDMI, and GPIO interfaces.
- Powered by MediaTek Genio 510: Six-core CPU (dual Cortex-A78 + quad Cortex-A55), Mali G57 GPU, and 3.2 TOPS AI accelerator for responsive graphics and edge AI processing.
- Software flexibility: Pre-validated BSPs for Yocto Linux, Buildroot, and Android enable quick development.
- Connectivity options: Integrated Sona™ MT320 module, powered by MediaTek Filogic 320, supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless monitoring and control.
- Industrial Build: Manufactured in Ezurio’s U.S. facility with pre-certified FCC, ISED and CE certifications for global deployment.
