Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing (CWCEC) has opened a new Interoperability Laboratory (CWC-IL) in Dayton, Ohio.
The innovative operation will provide a centralised test centre and serve CWCEC's entire product offering, including rugged and commercial boards and subsystems.
The CWC-IL will accelerate the company's ability to respond to its customers' increasing requirements for fully integrated building block solutions by providing a dedicated staff and resources to verify system component compatibility.
'Our new interoperability lab will set the industry standard for certifying compatibility across a broad product line', said Tom Quinly, President of Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing.
'The lab will give CWCEC customers full confidence that our boards and subsystems play together, freeing them to focus on what they do best'.
The CWC-IL represents an innovative approach to addressing product interoperability, traditionally one of the embedded computing market's most daunting challenges.
CWCEC, with its broad range of market leading technology and unmatched product depth, is uniquely positioned to provide whole system integration interoperability testing, resulting in increased reliability, reduced cost and faster time to market for its customers' designs.
The newly launched interoperability lab will expedite, formalise, and improve the consistency and quality of CWCEC's interoperability testing program.
The CWC-IL team, led by Dayton's Technical Support Manager, Rae Beeman, will manage the company's collective interoperability matrix.
This will result in timely, accurate communication on the interoperability status of CWCEC's vast portfolio of products.
In addition to overseeing the interoperability testing and qualification of CWCEC's own product line, the CWC-IL will also provide the resources and management for testing and qualification of third-party partner products.
The CWC-IL will serve as a resource centre for CWCEC system integrators and the company's industry partners seeking verification of component and software compatibility.
CWCEC sees the formation of the CWC-IL as a key step in providing a higher level of customer service than has been previously seen in the embedded board and system market.
'CWC-IL will take full advantage of Dayton's central US-based location, its proximity to six major universities, and its highly regarded technical support team', added Quinly.
'The lab's team boasts well-honed competencies in system and component-level testing'.
'They will provide the depth of resources needed to oversee numerous simultaneous product integration projects'.
'The lab centralises and significantly augments the resources and capacity that currently resides within each CWCEC location'.
