ATS provides complete thermal engineering capabilities — helping you model airflow, select standard or custom heat sinks, implement liquid cold plates, and validate thermal performance in wind tunnels before committing to tooling.
maxiFLOW™ & superGRIP™ heat sinks, heat pipes, vapor chambers & liquid cold plates.
Research-grade thermal wind tunnels, anemometers, and temperature/velocity sensors.
CFD thermal simulation, custom mechanical extrusion, and rapid prototyping.
Based in California, USA, Amulet Technologies has been a world leader in programmable graphical display solutions for over 30 years.
Amulet Technologies enables engineers to build rich, intuitive Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) that allow appearance and functionality to be controlled and updated “on the fly”. By offloading graphics processing to Amulet's dedicated Graphical OS hardware, even compact 8-bit or 32-bit host microcontrollers can drive vivid touchscreens effortlessly.
Rapid visual GUI authoring software for designing and simulating embedded interfaces in days, not months.
Dedicated silicon that handles all rendering, touch logic, and memory management independently.
Standard starter kits, open-frame capacitive/resistive TFT modules, and bespoke OEM display assemblies.
With over 30 years of experience, MNR Technology is a vertically integrated leader in complete, custom-engineered Human-Machine Interface (HMI) assemblies.
Designing a reliable operator interface requires mechanical, tactile, optical, and electronic harmony. MNR Technology provides a seamless single-source path from initial industrial design and 3D mechanical modelling through to enclosures, keypads, printed circuit boards, and embedded firmware.
Silicone rubber keypads, membrane switches, touch panels, plastic injection & rugged metal enclosures.
Complete 3D CAD modelling, environmental sealing (IP-rated), backlighting & optical bonding.
In-house schematic capture, PCB layout, PCBA manufacturing, and firmware integration for plug-and-play HMIs.
Wizerr.ai builds AI team-mates for Engineering, Sourcing, and Supply Chain teams — powering the intelligence layer for electronic components.
Selecting the right components early in the design phase prevents costly redesigns later. Wizerr.ai reads and compares thousands of complex semiconductor datasheets at the parameter level — helping engineers and buyers find drop-in alternatives, eliminate single-source bottlenecks, and optimize BOM costs in minutes.
Instant parametric cross-referencing across millions of active and passive electronic components.
Identify lifecycle and allocation risks during schematic capture before your PCB layout is locked.
Empower sourcing and component engineering teams with verified multi-vendor negotiation leverage.
BrainChip is the global pioneer in ultra-low-power, event-based neuromorphic AI solutions from silicon to software — delivering real-time on-device intelligence where no data leaves the sensor edge.
BrainChip enables always-on, ultra-low-power Physical AI directly at the sensor edge. Powered by its digital event-based Akida™ architecture and Temporal Event-Based Neural Networks (TENNs), engineers can add sub-watt on-chip learning and real-time inference for vision, audio, vital signs, and vibration/sensor modalities to any microcontroller or host processor — with zero cloud dependency.
22nm FD-SOI Edge AI chips (up to 800 effective GOPS at milliwatt power) with SPI for MCUs or PCIe Gen2 / M.2 cards for host CPUs.
Scalable, licensable NPU IP cores (Akida Gen 2, Pico & Sequora) for custom SoCs, supporting ultra-compact Spatial-Temporal models.
Seamless model quantization, CNN-to-SNN conversion, and deployment via standard TensorFlow/Keras, PyTorch & Edge Impulse workflows.
Post-Covid hybrid working, dispersed engineering teams, and limited distributor bandwidth have made discovering new design opportunities harder than ever. identifAI is our proprietary “AND” solution — adding targeted firepower to your existing channels.
