CUSTOM
DESIGN ENGINEERING
Phoenix
International® designs highly ruggedized electronics
that can withstand the harsh physical and electrical environments
our customer's products operate in — like on-highway, agricultural,
heavy construction, industrial control, material handling, and many
others.
From embedded controls for engines, transmissions, electro-hydraulics
and other vehicle operations to user interfaces and display technology
that communicate through CAN communications, fiber optics and multiplexing,
we have the expertise and design experience to supply our customer's
complete system needs.
ENSURING
QUALITY, EFFICIENCY
Phoenix International's Software Group recently achieved a Level
3 rating from the Software Engineering
Institute (SEI) [http://www.sei.cmu.edu/]
at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. The rating is based
on the Capability Maturity Model® (CMM) which is the most widely
accepted model for understanding the process of software development.
By defining, structuring and formalizing our procedures to meet
the requirements of a Level 3 rating, we improve quality, reduce
development time, reduce costs, use resources more efficiently,
and improve work documentation in all areas of our engineering organization.
TECHNICAL
RESOURCES
Because we are technologically driven we realize the importance
of establishing and maintaining qualified technical resources. About
50 percent of our employees have extensive backgrounds in the engineering
field with over 200 design engineers based at the Fargo facility
alone.
Our
marketing group is comprised of program managers with mechanical
and electrical engineering degrees, and in manufacturing, our test,
manufacturing, and quality engineering groups are comprised of degreed
personnel backed by years of industry experience.
PHOENIX
ESTABLISHES NETLab
As a part of Phoenix International's Advanced Technology program,
a NETwork communications Lab (NETLab)
has been created which will provide information about technology
in vehicle networking. The NETLab workspace is set aside for investigation,
demonstration, and evaluation of vehicle networks.
