R&T ACTIVITIES Within the framework of ANCO corporate activities, research and technology (R&T) has three (3) main objectives : 1. the design and development of new products. 2. the enhancement of local added-value content. 3. the introduction of new technologies in the corporate portfolio. ANCO R&T Dpt. expertise focuses on the following thematic areas :
a. fleet management systems b. data acquisition systems c. embedded microprocessor systems d. communication interfacing with wired and wireless networks e. low-power converters ANCO R&T services to third parties include all electronic and mechanical design at individual board or unit level as well as at complete product or solution level. Depending on the customer application – need, the service offering incorporates accordingly part or the whole of the following :
• Product definition and specifications. • Analysis of requirements and design capture. • Product industrialization. • Technical support for product EMC certification (CE Mark ). • product re-design for - cost reduction. - power consumption reduction. - size reduction. - replacement of obsolete parts and adaptation of existing design. In order to carry out its mission, ANCO R&T Dpt. is equipped with a substantial infrastructure, that consists of :
1. a complete electronics laboratory with all necessary instrumentation for prototype assembly and testing. 2. a comprehensive computer – aided design package (CAD) for electronic schematics, printed-circuit board layouts and mechanical drawings. 3. a software development suite for embedded applications design in Windows CE operating environment and selected families of microprocessors. References for designs, that have been deduced as a result of ANCO R&T team effort in the context of its participation into national and EU subsidized research projects, are provided in dedicated presentations and descriptions, contained in other menu options of the “Research & Development“ thematic area of ANCO web-site.
