RUGGEDIZATION

Systems that stand up to the toughest tests

Whether you are drilling for oil through extreme temperatures or need powerful computing technology in ever-changing military settings, Benchmark Secure Technology has the expertise and capabilities to ruggedize products for environments where equipment cannot fail. Our expertise in ruggedization stems from our more than 20 years of work in complex, dangerous and hazardous environments for industries such as military, aerospace and defense, medical, industrial and more. 

Our ruggedization process includes early analysis of thermal and vibration behavior by computer simulation. We also conduct extensive Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) in the concept phase, which allows us to identify critical tests for prototypes in the design phase. We then perform highly accelerated life testing using temperature cycling and vibration, followed by the final qualification testing for absolute confidence. Our capabilities and skillsets allow us to integrate ruggedized design at any point throughout the product lifecycle from concept to mass production.
