Working With WIN Enterprises

 

WIN Enterprises offers a broad portfolio of commercial off the shelf (COTS) products, but its true specialty is custom solutions, usually high-end motherboards with long product lives. In addition, remember our COTS products can be further modified to meet your exact requirements. WIN can modify your product at smaller volumes than larger Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs).

WIN products are designed for long life using true embedded components. Our ability to manage a product's life cycle means we work to extend its lifetime and then provide a seamless transition to your next-generation product. In addition to design and manufacturing, WIN offers value-added services for software installation, testing, branding, package design, and drop-shipping to make your life easier.
 

Embedded Development Kits  

A robust set of Development Kits based on the experience of hundreds of successful designs across a breadth of different applications provides you with quick time-to-market with a unique solution that differentiates you in your market.

WIN maintains core design modules in the following application areas:

  • Networking & Network Security
  • Internet Appliances
  • Mobile/intense computing
  • Telecommunications
  • Industrial PC / Industrial Automation
  • Transaction Terminals / POS Systems
  • Gaming/Entertainment/Digital Home
  • Medical Devices/Scientific Instrumentation
  • Transportation/Automotive
  • Military/Aerospace/ Law Enforcement

System Definition Phase

System definition is the most critical phase in manufacturing projects. The functionality and performance of a product are defined within this stage. This becomes the basis for determining your product’s specifications. In this phase WIN will help:

  1. Define the product’s objectives and functionality of each product part
  2. Explore alternatives for components, considering availability, reliability, and longevity
  3. Propose a custom solution if an off-the-shelf solution does not exist

Electronic Design / Product Development

WIN's engineering team maximizes performance while minimizing development time and overhead costs. We draw upon years of knowledge and experience to produce your customized motherboard or appliances.

Every day WIN's engineers are setting new standards for performance, reliability, and value.

During the design/development phase WIN will:

  1. Develop the product design
  2. Explore the various options available
  3. Develop a technology roadmap that will be used in the final phase of development
