Why Technology Insertion?
Technology insertion allows customers to seamlessly integrate new, higher performance hardware technologies while retaining form, fit and function and application software compatibility.
Over that time, application requirements change and grow – demanding greater computing horsepower. In recognition, we have put technology insertion at the heart of our product design, enabling our customers to leverage new levels of capability at lower cost and with minimal disruption.
Improve Maintainability and Reliability.
Trust is always important in mission critical technologies.
Cost Efficient
Reduce Cost of Acquisition and Life Cycle Support
Increased Functionality
Upgrade tech support and daily functionality of old tech.
Increased Performance
Provide your systems with greater speed and efficiency.
Mechanical Design
In support of system, test and our tooling business, our mechanical engineering team is second to none in offering innovative, yet cost effective solutions for your needs.
Whether it is a scalable test fixture solution or a complex, high accuracy torque tooling solution, our team of dedicated mechanical engineers can offer the right solution, with the right level of innovation to give your solution a competitive edge.
Software Development
Multiple Disciplines, Multiple Platforms, 1 Goal to Serve You
In support of system, test and our tooling design, our software development team is ARC’s primary advantage in providing the superior performance in hardware (electrical), mechanical and software cohesiveness. The software team at ARC literally brings all of it together.
Whether you want to leverage one of our standard platforms, such as TestCentre or harness the power of the process editor in our PVS software to build up your custom workflow, most customers are impacted by the power and scalability of our software solutions, without sometimes ever knowing the tremendous effort that goes into our software.
Customization, whether you are needing work in LabVIEW, TestStand, C# or other development platforms, our team can deliver the perfect solution, tie the mechanical and electrical worlds together in coming up with your next solution.
Here are some samples of what our team can do:
- Connect and develop smart tool drivers for capturing torque and other assembly data
- Integrate Keysight and National Instruments hardware into a single high productivity test and automation solution
- Come up with custom database and MES (manufacturing execution system) interfaces for your shop floor environment
- Integrate your custom IP or firmware into one of our base platform products (such as DSX) = meaning a custom tailored solution for you, while keeping your IP secure.
- Custom UI, touchscreen, machine control and workflow automation solutions with our in-depth HMI and PLC programming capabilities
Product Development
Have a complex system level or product level solution you need to develop that could use some engineering know-how? Whether it is a sophisticated mission critical system or a product with your IP that needs a host, ARC can help you deliver on these complex solutions. Our DSX product, can help support your IP and be the host processor for your design, or if a larger system, DSX could be an integral part of your system.
Don’t recreate the architecture. Let our team of experts help configure your product solution – by leveraging the best in FPGA and system level PXI technology that ARC has already created for you.
Rapid Prototype Development
Have time to market pressure and need to get a system or assembly or production line up and running quickly? Need to rapidly build out a solution, but don’t want to spend months on building up an architecture? Allow our rapid prototyping team to assist you – whether it is crafting 3D printed mechanical assemblies or a building up a high speed IO interface, you are in very capable hands with the ARC engineering team. Our DSX product, can help support your IP, implement your process or and be the core processing engine for your design, or if a larger system, DSX could be an integral part of your system. PVS, another tool that can help error-proof your assembly process, is ready to go in a flexible, software-centric solution that you can be reconfigured as needed to meet your changing demands.
Also, do you want to know our best kept secret? It is in our mechanical reference design and reuse library.
Don’t recreate a custom architecture and don’t spend days, weeks or even months deliberating the countless tradeoffs between design and implementation. Get the advantage by letting our team of experts help configure your product assembly or system solution – by leveraging the best in FPGA and system level PXI technology that ARC has already created for you. Get to your solution faster – the ARC way.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“I found ARC to be very professional and extremely helpful throughout the project, from specification, through design and execution. The final project was as expected. I would definitely work with ARC again.”
Mike K. - Associate Scientist
“I have been working with ARC for 3 years. Having had experience with other companies in the out-source model, I have found that ARC is an order of magnitude more capable and responsive to my requirements.”
