Custom Designs |
|
Since 1985 Concurrent Technologies has designed numerous hardware, firmware and
software products for various applications in the CompactPCI®,
VME, PMC and Multibus II markets. However a
significant amount of our revenue is generated by our "Custom Design" service -
where we design and manufacture exactly what our customer wants. Some customers want us to
slightly modify an existing board design, some want us to produce completely new board
designs while others want us to provide complete box systems. These services are available
to all customers.

What is the
Custom Design Service? |
|
|
In simple terms - we design exactly what you want. Most times
customers provide a specification and we design and build the product according to the
specification. Sometimes Concurrent Technologies will provide a specification for the
customer.

Advantages for the customer |
|
| In most cases
today customers want to use standard products. However, many customers
cannot use standard product as it would be too difficult and too costly,
or standard products will not do the job. These type of customers have
to either design the products themselves, or get a company like
Concurrent Technologies to design it for them. If we design the product
the customer not only gets the product they want, but the long term
product support as well. By taking advantage of our extensive skill base
the following advantages are gained by the customer:
- products go to market sooner
- development costs are lower
- support costs are lower
- you get the product you want

Minimum
Volumes |
|
In theory Concurrent Technologies has no minimum volume
requirement, but in practice the minimum requirement is about 50 boards.

How long to
do a custom design |
|
It depends. If it is a simple modification to an existing
board this can be completed in 1 week. A more typical case of a new design using
technology that we already have, will take about 10 weeks - when the customer receives a
functional prototype board.

What do we
provide? |
|
Anything the customer wants. In a typical customer design
project Concurrent Technologies would provide the following:
- Price and delivery schedule (for prototypes and volumes)
- Product Specification (in consultation with customer)
- Access to design review meetings
- A prototype - for customer to evaluate
- The final version - for customer to evaluate
- User manual/technical documentation
- Manufacturing documentation
- Volume product delivery (to ISO 9001
:2000 quality standard)
- Finally - product support

Concurrent
Technologies has established a wide range of skills that can be used to
produce exactly the product that you want. Because all of engineering
design is implement in a modular way it is very easy for our engineers
to "mix-and-match" different building blocks. These building blocks can
be either hardware or software. The following table highlights some of
our proven building blocks (this is always expanding):
