PRODUCTS - MISSION CRITICAL EMBEDDED COMPUTERS
NOVA Integration Solutions (NIS) specializes in the design, manufacture,
test/validation, and system/hardware integration of highly specialized,
mission critical, turn-key embedded computing solutions. Programs of this
type require a highly reliable hardware platform and power solution, as
they typically are subjected to extremely harsh environmental conditions,
such as shock/vibration, altitude, extreme temperature ranges, EMI/RFI,
HEMP, nuclear/chemical survivability, salt, fog, humidity, water, sand/dust,
and explosive atmosphere. Whether customers need prototypes or a full
production run, NIS’s staff of electrical, mechanical, test, manufacturing,
and system engineers can, in many cases, quickly and cost-effectively
produce a turn-key solution in less than 12 weeks. Extensive in-house
analysis tools and expertise provide an invaluable proof-of-concept
available at the Critical Design Review (CDR), weeks before final
assembly and integration is completed. Mitigating risk is the key to
success in any program, large or small.
NIS’s experienced staff can quickly turn a programs requirement
document into a customized concept, tailored to the programs
needsMeticulous part selection utilizing high reliability commercial off-the-shelf products is the key |
to delivering a system that meets
the performance and environmental requirements including power
consumption and heat dissipation.
It
is understood that the requirements
of applications in defense, railways,
traffic, avionics, and space vary and
require careful attention. All system
designs start with system processor
selection and additional parts are
then selected to build a compatible
system. Design considerations
include not only the motherboard,
but many other components as
listed below:
