We can undertake RF, general (analogue and digital) electronic and firmware development projects. Developments can be taken through any or all the various steps, as appropriate, from an outline concept to prototype, through pilot production and on to providing ongoing support in full production.

Technical Studies, Research, Concept Development, Feasibility, Sourcing, Costing and Estimation

We can undertake background research for clients, investigating for instance: potential design options, available technologies and techniques, potentially suitable components and modules.

We can also consider an initial idea or concept and undertake varying amounts research, brainstorming, outline design, analysis, modelling, estimation and costing to evaluate against feasibility criteria and produce more detailed concept options and advice.

We can advise regarding:

• new designs or changes to existing designs
• RF testing in production or development
• use of RF products or equipment

Investigating Sources of EMC/EMI Problems and Finding Solutions

Our experience in design, development and troubleshooting experience with RF products, inductive systems and instrumentation includes successfully dealing with EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and EMI (electromagnetic interference) problems in various forms.

Calibration of Magnets used in the Food Industry

Strong permanent magnets are often used for the detection and removal of magnetic contaminant foreign body objects, particles and fragments that may sometimes be present in the raw material at entry to the food-processing stream.

Since January 2012, Issue 6 of the BRC Global Standard For Food Safety sect. 4.10.1 has required periodic checking and recording of the strength of these magnets.

Magnetic Field Surveys and Survey Equipment

A service we developed in response to client demand – we perform magnetic field surveys and supply related custom equipment.

Magnetic surveys enable direct checking, with regard to relevant standards, the of exposure of persons, sensitive materials and equipment to magnetic fields, which may be constant or vary over timescales ranging between long and extremely short. They are sometimes required, for example, when there has been a change of use of an area, or change of layout, or there has been a change in the installed equipment in the vicinity, or equipment is being put to a new use.
