Analysis

Thorough understanding of your system and specific requirements is key to designing a reliable, rugged solution. Our team proceeds with a full, in-depth analysis of your application to ensure the success of your operations.

  • Fluid Flow Analysis (Laminar and Turbulent)
  • Modal and Response/Frequency Analysis
  • Structural Analysis (Linear and Non-Linear, Components and Assemblies)
  • Thermal Management Solutions
  • Other Environmental Considerations

design

From the conceptual phase to the production stage, we provide electrical, thermal, and mechanical design to optimize the performance of your mission-critical application.

  • Preliminary, Detailed and Technical Drawing Packages
  • Industrial/Automotive/Military Temperature Ranges, Vibration and Shock Profiles, Environmental Seal, EMC/EMI, Crash Safety and More
  • MIL-STD-810, MIL-S-901, DO-160, MIL-STD-1472, IP67, IEC Design Standards
  • Requirements & Compliance

Rapid Prototyping

We quickly create realistic prototypes with the help of additive manufacturing technologies and quick-turn facilities using highly-reliable partners. Rapid prototyping is a critical stage in development, providing our customers with a more hands-on and tangible design experience and supporting proof-of-concept activities.

  • Marketing Support

    • Demo systems
    • Partners that can rapidly produce prototypes
    • Paramount to supporting customer demos and engagements
    • 3D rendering software, showroom finish, 3D printed components

  • Prototypes

    • 3D prints (plastic and metal)  for concept assessment, assembly fit checks and quick assembly tooling
    • Cast urethane mold and additive manufacturing
    • Partners with CNC machining

DESIGN verification

The verification step ensures that critical design elements meet your requirements. Using data from our prototype and design verification processes, we are able to make the necessary enhancements to build highly-resistant, rugged systems.

  • Design Verification

    • Verify hardware performance
    • Thermal & structural characterization, fluid flow check
    • Engineering and problem reporting
    • Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA)

  • Model Refinement

    • Verification results used to refine the analysis
    • Analysis used to verify enhancements

Qualification

With verification and all necessary enhancements complete, products need to undergo a rigorous procedure to satisfy design conformance requirements. From industry standards to environmental testing, we make sure your product can perform smoothly for your mission-critical applications.

  • Procedure

    • Verification of Cross-Reference Matrix
    • Qualification plan and procedures, QTPP
    • Tested to industry standards: EN, ANSI, IEC, JESD, ABD.010, MIL-STD, UL1414, DO-160, ITU-T

  • Execution

    • First Article Inspections, Supplier Certificate of Conformance
    • Access to Test Operators and Quality Assurance
