Client Project Development

Thanks to its expertise in electrical and electronic equipment, ALPHITAN supports its clients in the design and development of customized solutions, including:

Designing a system based on specifications
Reverse Engineering Conception (R.E.C.)

At ALPHITAN, we design systems based on a specification provided by the client or developed in collaboration with them. This process follows key steps, from analyzing client needs to certification and industrialization, including requirement assessment and prototyping. This approach enables ALPHITAN to offer comprehensive, tailored support provided by experts.

Additionally, we have strong expertise in Reverse Engineering Conception. After analyzing the existing model and designing an equivalent product, we develop solutions for remanufacturing, create a prototype, and then produce the circuit board. This technique allows us to reproduce electronic boards that are no longer available.
