The Power of Vision (and collaboration, and in-house manufacturing): the VadaTech DAQ Series
Our collaboration with a high energy physics research company is a case study for how VadaTech’s commitment to our customers is reflected in every stage of a project. Our client was missing a digitizer for a LINAC accelerator compatible with EPICS, resulting in a risk to fail their integration deadline and commissioning. The customer participated in a joint bid with multiple other companies, and a VadaTech partner secured that the digitizer would be allocated to VadaTech if we agreed on the budget, time, and functional requirements.
This presented us with a unique opportunity to build a reference in high energy physics by directly providing an end-user application, and to integrate and validate the DAQ Series onsite, including EPICS. In this case, our customer needed a full solution for product performance and compatibilities, as well as integration service and support. Our close relationship with the client allowed us to smoothly adapt the DAQ Series with feedback from the end user until the Site Acceptance Test at the customer’s facilities, and allowed them to get all the information they needed from our engineering team, during onsite training and integration, to be able to maintain their product in the long term.
With this project, it was that deep cooperation between key engineering teams and respect for deadlines that formed the base for a long-term partnership between our companies. Additionally, working closely with our teams in Taiwan and a local partner company helped see this project through to completion. With our partner pushing for MTCA.4 benefits and integration capabilities, internal development at VadaTech Taiwan proving solution feasibility, and strong support from headquarters management, the collaboration proved to be a success.
Beyond just this contract, the project formed the base of VadaTech’s DAQ Series with EPICS and also served as validation for the project to both Engineering and Sales. Meanwhile, our customer received their platform ahead of schedule and before all of the other parts of the joint tender were delivered, and they served as a very good reference for our partner who originally pushed for MTCA.4.
Partnerships are the key to our success and are always mutually beneficial: contact us to learn how to start ours today.
