Drive your project timeline forward with ACT/Technico's pre-configured development systems. We have designed thousands of systems based on open architectures such as VMEbus, CompactPCI, and PCI.

Systems integrators, defense agencies, and major corporations have come to rely on us to deliver embedded systems designed to specific project requirements. This experience in configuring and integrating these systems has created a line of form, fit and function box level solutions for a wide range of applications:

• Military and Aerospace
• Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
• Medical electronics equipment
• Transportation
• Industrial controls
• Telecom and datacom

Browse this section for more information on what we offer. If you don't see what you need, please call; we may already have a solution for you. ACT/Technico can also ruggedize your system per your specifications.

Build a system that allows you to explore network centric computing and 6U network attached storage with the ACT/Technico RAIDStor™ Development Kit. Select the payload that suits your requirements and we'll integrate the complete package.

The system contains everything needed to establish a complete Embedded Network Attached RAID solution with dual star topology in a PICMG 2.16 or VITA 31.1 enclosure; two RAIDStor™ storage blades, two fabric switches, a 2.16 or VITA 31.1 Pentium M or PowerPC single board computer plus all required rear transition modules (RTMs).
To further ensure maximum effectiveness, the system includes a remote support package allowing users to leverage ACT/Technico's unparalleled experience and know how in the embedded computing industry.
