Smart Measurement - Configured and Calibrated
Industrial professionals need highly accurate data in real-time to measure various parameters in the physical, electrical and chemical spectra. Benchmark has more than 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing industrial measurement devices with more than a hundred dedicated engineers in our Almelo Design Center of Innovation. Combined with our expertise in advanced IoT, Benchmark is at the cutting-edge of smart measurement devices and can take our customers to market faster.
Like their analog counterparts, smart instruments do need to be configured and calibrated, as is often required by regulation. To help our customers ensure dependable, consistent results and minimize measurement uncertainty, Benchmark provides smart measurement equipment calibration services.
Most importantly, choosing the right smart measurement partner requires assessing flexibility. Benchmark understands the unpredictable cycles in the market and can accommodate the ebb and flow of demand. Our flexibility is often our customer’s secret weapon in maintaining profitability in manufacturing.
Video Processing - Process Data Faster in Rugged Environments
Benchmark’s in-depth knowledge of intelligent networking, IoT, and advanced manufacturing systems including active alignment, assembly, and test of optoelectronic devices, makes us a trusted design, development and manufacturing partner for complex video processing equipment. We serve leading brands in a wide range of industries, from broadcast and entertainment, to military and autonomous vehicles that offer the latest innovations in video capture, processing, mixing/cutting and imaging.
With civil and corporate security concerns increasing worldwide, major cities and private enterprises continue to install video surveillance systems. These applications are often mission-critical, requiring ultra-high definition equipment that can process data faster in rugged environments and store it for fast retrieval. Benchmark offers our customers the ability to technically differentiate their solutions with these features at a lower cost to remain competitive in this growing market.
The need to electronically transmit images in digital form to provide more access to information is also increasing the demand for smaller and more powerful handheld cameras in the digital imaging market. Benchmark Lark Technology is leading the commercialization of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) interconnect, up to 10 times thinner than conventional circuits. This breakthrough innovation gives us the ability to design and fabricate high-speed wireless equipment with improved size, weight and power (SWaP) and zero loss in quality or value.
With end users often expressing a preference for country of origin solutions, Benchmark is ideally positioned to manufacture and ship locally, regionally or globally in the U.S., Mexico, Europe and Asia.
Power Conversion - Solutions for High Complexity Challenges
Innovation in the industrial market is driving the demand for manufacturing partners with technical expertise in the high power environment. Companies are looking for connected solutions with more sensing capabilities to enable wireless systems that provide better data analytics and more control over power infrastructure.
At Benchmark, we have invested in key facilities in Penang, Malaysia to develop a center of excellence for the high power environment to meet this demand. Our new facilities, coupled with our deep engineering experience in power conversion, have enabled our teams to excel at creating advanced solutions for high complexity challenges.
Our capabilities in the high power conversion market include:
- Specialization in all Forms of Power Conversion Including AC/AC, AC/DC, DC/AC and DC/DC
- Feedback Sensing and Connected Solutions for Motor Drives, Battery Chargers and Conveyor Belts
- Expertise to Handle Large Power Requirements that Demand High Reliability
Transportation and Automotive - In the Harshest and Most Demanding Environments
The freight and passenger applications we engineer for our customers are mission-critical. That’s why we leverage the most advanced technology to design, manufacture and assemble systems that operate with maximum reliability in the harshest and most demanding environments. Whether our customers are building heavy mining equipment to handle excruciating deep-earth temperatures, smart railway systems to improve safety and performance, or 80-ton construction vehicles, Benchmark has the rigorous engineering skills and supply chain expertise to deliver low-cost, high-quality solutions.
Our expertise in data over power solutions overcomes limitations of wireless communications on locomotives and gives new intelligence to locomotive and other large equipment control systems. This unique service takes commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) power cables for locomotives and re-engineers them to allow data transfer over power at speeds of 50-100 MBps. With hundreds of thousands of legacy locomotive vehicles in the field, the cost to redesign locomotives to improve data systems is immense. Benchmark’s data over power solutions bypass the redesign or tear down phase and enable high-speed data transfer efficiently.
Our solutions in transportation include:
