SYSTEMS INTEGRATION MOBILE SOLUTIONS & CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
Portable, mobile, integrated systems have revolutionized how our government, commercial, aerospace, medical, and OEM clientele function. Whether the solution you require is vehicle mounted, contained in a custom enclosure, a transit case, or even a backpack, Advanced Packaging will partner throughout every step in the process towards meeting your program goals. Once you’ve shared your concept with us, our integration and engineering teams will identify the required bill of materials. As a total turn-key solution provider, we will absorb the burden of obtaining various required components, from multiple vendors, off of your shoulders.
PRECISION METAL ENCLOSURES AND INTERFACE PANELS
API uses the latest CNC punch and form technology to create high-quality precision sheet metal enclosures, component parts and interface panels. In addition, API provides complete metal finishing capabilities that include powder coating, wet paint, plating, anodizing, graphic design, and screen-printing.
Rack Mount Cases
Installation of electronics in a rack mount case is a time-consuming task. API can lower your total system costs by providing you with a fully populated system. Advanced Packaging’s experienced team of true craftsman, regularly build and then test a variety of complex electronic assemblies. API will design and build custom midrails, internal equipment supports, front end rear I/O panels, wire harnesses, power distribution, and testing to ensure a rugged solution.
