Test facility helps ‘keep UK manufacturing alive’
1 min read
A new test systems division is said to provide system integrators with the 'widest range' of test system hardware in its price range.
Amplicon's ceo, Gina Citroni explained that the current climate had forced many companies to outsource noncritical functions, but in doing so, have reduced knowledge and manpower for implementing new test systems and upgrading existing lines. She said: "By providing free technical consultancy and exceptional prices for our test systems, Amplicon hopes to do its bit to help keep UK manufacturing alive."
The manufacturing and distribution specialist makes components for test systems such as industrial pcs and data acquisition boards and, according to test systems product manager, John Hayward, is responding to the demand for the supply of integrated hardware test solutions.
He said: "In a recent application, Amplicon's pc based test system provided a saving of over £100,000 compared to inhouse development at a major oil and gas instrumentation specialist. It is our position as a manufacturer and Tier 1 distributor that allows us to supply very cost competitive solutions. Our major challenge now is to communicate this capability to a fractious and unordered market."
