Custom Design

MaxVision, Rugged Portable Computers LLC has designed custom solutions for full MIL SPEC ground support computers for the Shadow UAV; airborne applications on the AWAC E3 and P8 aircraft, NASA SOFIA 747 flying telescope, UH-60 helicopters and countless man-portable semi-rugged ground based specialty workstations and servers.   Some of these were semi-custom variations of standard products while others were new ground up designs.  We have designed for  private label OEM"s where a product is built exclusively for a customer, while other designs become future standard products in our catalogue.  All of these are options possible by working with MaxVision.

Small quantities of 1 to 10  usually involve a modification of our standard products to meet the requirement.  For larger quantities, a full custom designs are practical. Lead time ranges from 6 weeks to 26 weeks, depending on the level of design effort and certifications required.
