Reliable computing and control platforms for advanced research

Hardware solutions for Big Science

Big Science includes some of the world’s most advanced research facilities, including particle accelerators, synchrotrons, neutron sources, fusion projects, and space missions. These large-scale scientific initiatives depend on sophisticated control systems, reliable computing infrastructure, and precise data acquisition to support groundbreaking discoveries.

By providing robust hardware platforms for control, timing, and data processing, researchers can operate complex experiments with confidence while focusing on scientific innovation and discovery.

Big Science

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.
