New Concept Modular Computer Could Change The Way You Design Embedded Systems

myOPALE™ from ECRIN Systems offers disruptive technology designed to multiply the capabilities of your next embedded computers in a much smaller foot print, thanks to PCI Express® over Cable interconnectivity, and standard 5.25’’ building blocks with mini-SAS HD connectors.

For three decades, Industrial PC’s have tended to use one of two types of architectures from the Eighties: ATX/miniITX motherboard, or PICMG® passive backplane. In both cases, the CPU board and its I/O cards were physically and mechanically linked through a PCI Express PCB.

The myOPALE Concept was born from four simple concepts:

• - Break the mechanical link between the CPU and I/O cards, using PCI Express Over Cable interconnection;
• - Design with building blocks based on a standard 5.25’’ form factor;
• - Use widely deployed inter-connectivity standards from SNIA/SFF Technology Affiliate, encompassing cables, connectors, form factor sizes and housing dimensions;
• - Integrated thermal solution at building blocks level.

Absolute Quality! ISO 9001 at Sarsen Technology

A good quality process drives a company, and ideally, involves everyone in producing a quality service or product.

We've been working hard over the 12 months since our last audit to continue to develop and improve our quality processes, in order to provide the best possible service to our customers.

Following our very successful transition audit this week we are about to migrate to IS0 9001:2015 from our currently held IS0 9001:2008 accreditation.

ISO 9001 is a global standard that specifies the requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Companies like ours use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer requirements.

It oversees everything from process management to customer satisfaction to make sure the customer isn’t affected by any bad practices at their suppliers. Most of our customers simply can't work with suppliers who don’t hold a recognised quality certification, and so its very important that we maintain our ISO certified status.

One of our most fundamental quality goals is to boost customer satisfaction by planning for and  exceeding our customer's expectations, in terms of both service and technology offerings. By maintaining our proven and positive customer satisfaction levels we retain our customers project after project, because the happiest customers are definitely the most loyal.
