Hardware Development
We build custom configurations for each customer’s project using Milcots nimble and proven module strategy. This approach improves reliability, cost and turnaround time, and even units that start with a blank page benefit from this modular approach by embedding already proven and tested modules.
On a case by case basis, MILCOTS develops specific electro-mechanical hardware to address the most custom configurations. The development of those custom solutions requires the same attention to details as the common modules to meet the environmental and functional performances.
Our in house team of mechanical and electrical engineers has the experience and skills required to guide customers to the requirements they need and move forward with the design and development of the solution.
Milcots’ customers benefit from our expertise in achieving Mil Spec standards for EMI, Shock, Vibration, Extreme Temperature and Environmental conditions. Mil Specs are standard for Milcots builds.
EOL Management
Key components for MILCOTS rugged displays and computers are selected at the beginning of the design process with longevity and durability in mind. When OEM manufacturers announce obsolescence and end of life events, our engineering support team researches best form fit and function options. Customers are notified of last time buy and upgraded recommendations. By utilizing the modular building block engineering process MILCOTS solutions are maintained and upgraded whilst preserving the original model configuration.
As commercial tracking databases were insufficient for our customers needs, MILCOTS developed an internal web based database, allowing the tracking of end of life for critical components. All units shipped to customers are documented and automated notifications are being sent to our EOL management group as needed, to trigger the EOL review process.
This approach allows MILCOTS to warn customers ahead of the last time buy cycles offered by the OEM or distributors, leading to more options to consider, better documented, and with more time to act.
Additional EOL protection can also be provided with a sustainment subscription service with a more proactive approach and a periodic obsolescence management and customized status report and plan.
Engineering Services
Milcots Engineering team comprises mechanical, electronic and electrical experts as well as software developers. Primarily dedicated to continuous improvement and customization of Milcots range of products, we also design customer specific solutions starting from a clean sheet of paper.
A frequently requested task for our engineering team is replacing obsolete units with form fit and function up-to-date solutions – Milcots can exchange the most vintage of screens and replacing it with a modern functional and long lived display or computer.
All components are rigorously reviewed for any sustainment issues prior to drawing release, and once units are in the field engineering support continues to monitor BOMs for notifications from the multiple OEMs.
