Expertise

As an expert in electronics for safety-critical (mission-critical) applications, we design electronic systems for use in medical equipment, airplanes, trains, or in nuclear power stations.

Measures to be taken and standards to be applied in design and production to make products work reliably also in hot or cold, dusty or humid, shaking and vibrating environments.

Our solutions for thermal management of electronics in harsh environments include forced air cooling with tailored heat sinks up to conduction cooled systems for operating temperatures of up to -40 to +85°C.

Most of our standard SBCs and COMs are based on Intel® architecture with low-power single- and multi-core processors. Designs are optimized for harsh environments and 7 years minimum availability.

Many of our custom and some of our standard SBCs and COMs are based on PowerPC® architecture, featuring a large variety of processors from the PowerQUICC™ families. Designs are optimized for harsh environments and 10 years minimum availability.

Specialized in complex system design, we offer rugged stand-alone, wall-mount and DIN-rail box and display computers, Ethernet switches, individually configured 19-inch racks (CompactPCI® (Serial) and VMEbus) and entire custom developments.

Industrial communication networks based on fieldbus structures or point-to-point connections are increasingly found not only in industrial control but also in safety-critical environments such as transportation or avionics.

Increased I/O flexibility for standard and custom computer boards, long-term availability and qualification for extended operation temperature make FPGAs a key technology for time- and cost-critical embedded applications.
