Electronics enclosure specialist, Schroff has expanded its system integration facilities to provide a comprehensive service aimed at customers who are looking to reduce overheads and product development times by outsourcing
some or all of their design and manufacturing activities. Customers will also benefit from dealing with only one supplier for the
entire enclosure system, providing them with the opportunity to concentrate more intensively on their own core competencies.
Using any of Schroff's wide range of cabinets, subracks and cases or a custom enclosure solution, the system integration service is available in various levels to suit differing customer requirements.
For example, Level 0 integration covers the supply of enclosure piece parts for assembly by the customer, whereas Level 5 would be a fully integrated enclosure system including backplanes, power supplies, thermal-management
equipment, active boards and software - all assembled, wired, tested and shipped to any destination the customer chooses.
At the pre-prototype stage, Schroff design engineers use 3D CAD modelling and thermal simulation software to evaluate design options with the customer. A prototype is then produced to enable detailed assessment of the system and the initiation of any test and/or certification programmes.
As well as being able to draw on Schroff's long experience in the design and manufacture of electronics enclosures, users of the service have access to the company's expertise in EMC testing to ensure that systems comply with
relevant standards.
Manufacture, assembly and all other procedures are carried out in line with Schroff's ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 quality systems, and all integration projects are managed by experienced project engineers.
Completing the service, Schroff can also manage the supply chain, production scheduling and logistics, delivering to the customer or direct to the end user, including national and international hubbing and distribution support.
