INDUSTRY AREAS

Aerospace

Against a backdrop of tight regulations and accountability, the aerospace industry requires advanced software and hardware to meet demanding applications. In addition, the software and hardware architecture must be able to match product lifecycles that may exceed many decades. Simplicity AI have worked with customers to provide:

1. Automated test software platform and architecture development, using industry standard tools
2. Full software & hardware solutions for end-of-Line functional test
3. Full software & hardware solutions to automate ESS and burn-in test processes
4. Customer software verification and validation

Automotive

Fierce competition between vehicle manufacturers has ensured that product costs are kept to a bare minimum and that time-to-market for new products is short. Companies must ensure that innovative ideas can be tested at the design stage, with minimal expenditure on prototyping. Simplicity AI have worked with customers to provide:

1. Data Acquisition and processing software for vehicle test facilities
2. Automated functional test hardware & software for automotive component manufacture
3. Component design validation
4. Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing

Defence

The defence industry demands products that can be stored and operated within the harshest of environments, yet will always perform within the tightest of specifications. Many of the testing and validation processes require costly and rapid destructive procedures, placing big demands on data acquisition and logging systems. Simplicity AI have worked with customers to overcome the huge challenges within the defence area, providing a variety of advanced solutions.

Electronics & Communications

New product innovation gives electronics & communications manufacturers the competitive edge, but presents some challenges for manufacturing. Processes and systems must be easily adaptable to allow rapid, inexpensive reconfiguration to meet the demands of new products. Simplicity AI have worked with customers to provide:

1. Design validation information management and reporting systems
2. Adapter-reconfigurable production test and validation systems
3. Production quality and production monitoring systems
4. Automated optical inspection systems

Medical Devices

Due to the potential risks to patients, the design and manufacture of medical devices is more highly regulated than other products. Simplicity AI have closely worked with their customers to provide:

1. Design validation test solutions
2. Automatic testing of production units

Research & Development

As product development and scientific research has became more sophisticated, there is a greater requirement to automate measurement and analysis operations. Organisations are moving away from development of bespoke testing solutions for single projects, to reusable COTS hardware and software tools, which are integrated to form a tailored system. Simplicity AI have worked with customers to provide:

1. Integrated realtime data logging and live analysis systems
2. Control and monitoring of prototype test rigs
3. Legacy test equipment automation upgrades
