Engineering
Aircom's engineering department offers an extensive range of engineering disciplines including industrial design, mechanical, electrical, software, manufacturing, systems, tooling and packaging. Our ability to integrate manufacturing knowledge with design expertise gives us the edge in designing for manufacturability which results in reduced time to market and reduced costs.
Industrial Design
An idea is all you need to get started. Whether the idea is in the form of notes or the classic napkin sketch, this is enough to start the product definition process that will lead to creative conceptual designs that are manufacturable.
Mechanical
When it comes to creative solutions, our mechanical engineering team is second to none. With decades of experience in everything from telecommunications and food service to animal health and medical devices, we have a propensity for not just thinking outside the box but also turning the box inside out. To assist these efforts, Aircom utilizes a variety of engineering tools that includes Unigraphics, SolidWorks, ProE, AutoCad, Finite Element Analysis, and Moldflow.
Electrical
Electronic product development can require multiple disciplines and hardware development requires an understanding of available components and functional block technologies. Putting them all together is what makes your product special. Whether your product contains simple electronic components or is a device with complex embedded software, Aircom can make it happen! We use the latest tools for schematic capture and layout and we have experience in a variety of embedded design platforms including PIC, AVR and Freescale microprocessor families.
Software
Once upon a time, software was the sole province of the IT world. It was used only to keep track of your inventory, sales figures and payroll. Now software is everywhere. It is an important tool for solving difficult problems in all phases of product development from feasibility analysis to product functionality to production testing. Aircom uses these software tools to keep your products on the leading edge! Embedded, web based or stand alone solutions based on popular platforms are ready to solve your toughest problems.
Manufacturing
Before a product is released to production, it is imperative that the manufacturing processes have been well planned. This not only reduces lead time but also ensures that high quality products consistently flow from the production floor to the shipping dock. Our manufacturing engineers perform the manufacturing process FMEA's and take a hand's-on approach to manufacturing process setup. In addition, our existing processes are constantly evaluated to find cost reducing opportunities for our customers.
Systems
Are you in need of something more than just sheet metal or injection molded components? How about a miniature highly accurate fluid dispensing device, a means for magnetically coupling a stepper motor on a frying wheel, or a medical device that will assist in biopsies? Aircom has done it. Just tell us the system input and desired system output and we will take care of the rest.
Packaging
So you have a beautiful product that is sure to be a blockbuster, but no way of getting it to it's destination without being damaged. Let Aircom's packaging engineers assist you in developing a solution that not only protects but is also user friendly for your customer. Design robustness is assured by transit, fragility and environmental testing.
