About Us

All of our software and hardware development is done by our in-house team. So we are able to quickly respond to requests for custom product creations and modifications. In addition, we can provide engineering consultation in technologies that are outside of our standard product area. Contact us anytime to discuss your unique applications and to see if we can be of assistance.

We are available for electronic, printed circuit board, and software design of high reliability products such as pyrotechnic firing systems, precision instrumentation and control systems, and electronic medical devices. We specialize in the design of products controlled by embedded microcomputers.
