Daisy Data Displays, Inc. Introduces COM-Express Modules to Rigmate PC Product Line
YORK HAVEN, Pa. (October 22, 2012) – Daisy Data Displays, Inc. (D3), an industry leader in the engineering and manufacturing of ruggedized computers and essential components, recently launched the use of COM-Express modules in the Rigmate all weather rugged PC product line with the objective to expand its use in the coming months throughout all PC designs.
D3 embraces the commitment to continually be “in-the-know” of the newest, most essential technology developments in the market for hazardous area computing solutions. Customers of D3 trust the engineers to make the best decisions for each design, no matter how strict the requirements may be. Most recently, D3’s engineering team decided to modernize our processor boards by switching over to COM-Express technology.
D3 engineers were drawn to the COM-Express modules because of their basic architecture, which allows the modules to plug into custom made, application-specific carrier boards. “The new COM-Express solution will provide us with a stable long-term motherboard solution,” says Mike Hadaway, D3’s General Manager. “We control the custom designed base board, therefore we have virtually eliminated the end-of-life issue normally encountered with commercial/industrial motherboards.”
Although the modules measure just 95 mm x 125 mm, they include a variety of generic functions such as video, audio, Ethernet, storage interfaces and USB ports. The COM-Express modules are a perfect complement to D3’s industrial units as they provide functions essential for every PC, still having the ability to pair it with a custom designed carrier board for more specific functions.
D3’s custom carrier boards provide the flexibility of selecting different central processing unit (CPU) based customer applications while keeping the same form factor. Therefore, as new processors are introduced, the customer will be able to upgrade the unit from low-power single core ATOM Intel all the way to multi-core i7 processors with ease.
“The onboard features and physical size mean that we can make smaller more compact computers without sacrificing computational power or functionality,” says Rodney Smith, a mechanical engineer at D3.
Daisy Data Displays, Inc. Management System Achieves ISO 9001:2008 Certification
YORK HAVEN, Pa. (November 28, 2012) – Daisy Data Displays, Inc.
(D3), a distinguished leader in the hazardous area computing industry for
the past 30 years, is pleased to announce the achievement of a certificate of
registration for International Organization for Standardization 9001:2008
following an independent audit by QMI-SAI Global.
ISO 9001:2008 is recognized by organizations worldwide as a quality management standard. The organization contains general requirements for management systems implemented by any organization and applies to the processes that influence product and service quality. After receiving a thorough assessment and evaluation of its numerous processes, D3’s management system has demonstrated its capacity to meet all requirements.
D3 specializes in the engineering and manufacturing of highly reliable ruggedized computing solutions that meet the unique requirements of the military, oil exploration, flight simulation, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. The product line ranges from hazardous area PC’s and monitors to ruggedized accessories such as keyboards, purge controls, and mounting options, as well as a variety of custom requests.
“While D3 has had most of the procedures and record-keeping in place that ISO 9001:2008 dictates, the actual certificate is what our customers are looking for,” says President of D3, Avi Shefet. “As a manufacturer of military and hazardous area computers, our customers and approval agencies made it clear to us that the ISO 9001:2008 certificate is preferred and in some cases a must.”
D3’s management system processes evaluated by QMI-SAI Global include the following; system documentation, product documentation, process documentation, preventive maintenance, calibration management, employee involvement, supplier management, customer management, management review, strategic quality planning, internal audits, inspection and test, non-conformance reporting & analysis, and corrective/preventive action.
During the two-day registration audit, a duo of auditors from QMI-SAI Global covered each section of the management system standard. Through employee consultations, a facility inspection, and documentation review, the auditors sampled each process to ensure compliance to the standard.
“The relationship between the various aspects of your organization has been enhanced by the management system through active management involvement, customer focus, and the effective implementation of all audited processes,” said Charlie Sheaffer, U.S. Operations Manager of SAI Global.
Shefet describes his outlook for the company upon attaining the new registration, “ISO 9001:2008 certification is the first step in obtaining ATEX Zone 1 European approval for D3’s products. It will put us a step in the right direction internationally as well as easing the need to qualify D3 as a vendor every time we do business with a new customer in the US.”
