CUSTOM DESIGN

Through its custom-designed solutions, Interface Concept provides its customers with technological and industrial expertise gained over many years dedicated to its own products development.

Interface Concept offers its customers the knowledge and skills of its development team :

PowerPC IBM/Motorola processors and Texas DSP
Programmable components (FPGA) from Altera or Xilinx
VME, PCI PMC, cPCI and PC104+ industrial buses
Ethernet and switching technologies
The main market real time operating systems
Embedded electronics equipment achievement for harsh environments including Marine, Railway, etc.

To optimize the development time of a " custom-designed " product, Interface Concept provides boards with their basic software. Thanks to its numerous developments, our company masters the main market real time operating systems. The latest product designs, like our Ethernet switches, have allowed Interface Concept engineers to acquire an outstanding expertise of LINUX system implementation.

In order to privilege reactivity and efficiency, our customers can contact directly our R&D team.

Interface Concept is very flexible regarding the industrial partnership form that can take these custom designs : from a mere product development up to production and maintenance.

Interface Concept is in grade of proposing contracts in operational conditions associated with long-life cycle products.
