Elektronica Design Embedded Systems (architectuur, software, operating systems) Product design

At AcQ, we have a reputation for creating high performance, ultra-reliable embedded electronics infused with innovation for the most demanding environments.

For more than 35 years, our standards-based modules, boards and integrated systems have been at the heart of some of the world’s most advanced industrial, aerospace and defence applications. We specialize in engineering safety-critical designs with long lifecycles and have considerable experience in building form-fit-function replacements for discontinued or obsolete products.

Over the years, we have developed many innovative products. Our work spans various sectors, from designing custom products for the manufacturing market through to researching and developing efficiency solutions for avionics and aeronautics. Our team has the expertise to tackle mechanical, industrial, electronics, software, and system design projects, with our engineers specializing in finding cost effective solutions for some of the toughest challenges in embedded systems.

As an AS 9100D compliant organization, we are qualified to develop, produce and deliver embedded solutions to aviation, space and defense customers. Our flexible Quality Management System, which is ISO 9001:2015 accredited, easily adapts to industrial, transportation, medical and other markets, allowing us to provide a continuous improvement framework for product quality across the company.

CUSTOM DESIGN

For many years, AcQ has been turning brilliant ideas into commercial reality. Beyond our standard product portfolio, we design and produce a huge variety of customized processing boards, I/O and communication modules, control systems and other platforms for OEMs and integrators. From FPGA configuration through the simplest modified standard products to full turnkey customized systems, we offer a range of solutions according to the strictest safety standards that suit your needs.

Tailoring an application that’s both customized to your company and flexible to your business needs offers a range of benefits. The goal is to find the most suitable and cost-effective solution for your application. We achieve this by using standard components and applying innovation and creativity to the way they work together, tailored to your system.
