The client designs and manufactures industrial heaters, temperature sensors, controllers, and supporting software for thermal systems. The company offers solutions with optimized thermal performance, decrease design time and improve efficiency for thermal applications. The client had a range of controller-based expansion cards for thermal systems. Due to the end of life of the essential technological component, the client wanted to re-design the expansion board by replacing medium and high-risk components with newer components including the microcontroller unit (MCU). They were looking for an engineering partner who can help with hardware redesign and at the same time also with board support package (BSP) development.

Leveraging supply chain insights obtained from Silicon Expert Tool, eInfochips analyzed the entire BOM (Bill of Material) and suggested a new design with minimal changes in form-factor, pinouts, and also extended product life by 5 years.
