Kit Design and Fabrication
There is a
growing need in the industry to install complex equipment at customer owned
locations, vehicles, and facilities to improve operational efficiencies. These
installations may require robust electrical/electronic assemblies to be
installed in customized kits. The kit could consist of some form of mounting
plates, in either a rack/cabinet or enclosure with electronic or mechanical
components, mounted with all the necessary hardware, wiring harnesses, plugs
and socket connections. These kits must be well designed in regard to
electrical and environmental factors such as form, fit, and function, yet at
the same time, must be easy to install and fault-free.
An important part of design is to establish a "stable" of
readily available kit components, such as plug shell inserts and components
that are equivalent in reliability to, for example, Mil-Spec designs, but less
costly and designed for heavy-duty commercial use.
A second feature of kit design is the need for proper kit
assembly techniques and quality control. Most systems are designed to allow
simple module replacement in the event of a system component failure to
eliminate as much down time as possible for the user. Accordingly, kit assembly
and fabrication requires a high degree of quality work and quality control.
Intelect Corporation provides complete design and fabrication
services for installation kits. We work with our customers to provide kits that
are rugged, reliable, and cost effective. Our in-house services include custom
cable assemblies, custom metal design, and procurement, component assembly, and
testing. Skilled Intelect product managers, engineers and technicians perform
fabrication and assembly at our premises.
