Empowering scientific discovery with advanced control systems

Empowering scientific research with advanced control systems

From the Hubble Telescope to quantum computing experiments, advanced control systems enable researchers to investigate everything from cosmos to atomic structures. These solutions allow scientists to focus on discovery rather than infrastructure.

Precision data acquisition

Capture and process enormous data volumes with extreme precision and reliability. MicroTCA computing systems handle complex real-time computations while eliminating common failure points, maximizing the accuracy and validity of experimental results.

Research interoperability

Leverage a single system design across multiple research facilities and collaborative projects. This standardization reduces development costs, simplifies maintenance, and enables seamless data sharing between international research teams.

Advanced processing capabilities

Tackle increasingly complex research challenges with embedded systems utilizing CPU, GPU and FPGA technologies. This processing power enables applications from real-time experiment control to complex simulations, significantly reducing time-to-insight.

Scalable production

Transform research prototypes into validated production systems while minimizing development risks and costs. Established standards like MicroTCA and CompactPCI, with proven track records at institutions like MaxIV, ensure reliable implementation with minimized downtime.
