The few contacts I've had for this sort of need has been oriented to PLC 
controllers which essentially *are* single board computers in a package. 
  Often they require the same external power supply although typically 
single rail and have similar interfaces although often some which are 
robust like relay drivers and EIA232 or CAN bus.  They usually are 
expandable and some makers have a wide variety of peripheral modules.
