What happens if I don’t respond to the prescription my doctor gives me? What if a mistake during a routine surgery leaves me injured? However, one all-too-real […]
NVIS Display Selection Guide
Certain operating environments for ruggedized systems call for the need to be unseen. This is where Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS) come in. In simplest terms, these infrared-driven solutions allow operators to use their tactical equipment, without emitting significant light. As you could imagine, the most popular application is military. These systems are found in […]
What are the True Costs of Saving when Purchasing Ruggedized Equipment?
Ruggedized electronics are found worldwide in many markets today: military, industrial, marine, mining and others. While they are all seeking the benefits of longevity and durability, each application tends to have its own set of requirements. Sometimes these specifications come with a higher price tag when compared to off the shelf solutions that appear to […]
Safety-Critical Software Cybersecurity: What You Need To Know
In safety-critical applications, cybersecurity vulnerabilities can have dire consequences.
Minimum Order Quantity Kits, Explained
We understand that many customers cannot afford an MOQ on their finished product, whether due to a lack of budget or a lack of immediate requirement for multiple units. In order to accommodate one-piece orders, we offer something called an “MOQ Kit,” which is composed of the bill of materials that require MOQ purchases.
Confidence Testing
People count on our rugged display systems to withstand the pressures of the harshest environments on (or off) Earth. So how can you know that your rugged monitor will work in the field, without it being formally certified? We achieve this through a process called “Confidence Testing.”
Doing Business Made Easier with Configuration Bundles
Configuration Bundles streamline the ordering process to make it as quick and painless to buy from General Digital as possible.
Why Configuration Management & Revision Control Matters
It might sound easy to maintain equipment that was originally designed and developed before I was even born. However, as supply chains evolve and change over time, so does the availability of crucial aspects of the Bill of Materials for a particular part. We wouldn’t be able to continue building these legacy systems without a dedicated approach to Configuration Management & Revision Control.
