- Radar/Electronic Warfare Systems: with integrated GPS guidance, image processing for target recognition, and real-time flight path guidance computations.
AIS’s Efficient Supply Chain Management Services Ensure Total, Long Term Project Success
The ability to efficiently manage the flow of goods and materials in the supply chain is critical to meeting long term performance goals, expectations and profitability of all suppliers and partners involved in the supply chain. AIS has extensive experience and success with performing this mission critical function for a variety of companies that produce rugged vehicles for fleet management and/or vessels for marine/naval industries. These customers are involved with off-highway and earth-moving machinery (machine, information and monitoring), agricultural (ISOBUS connectivity, video and enhanced hardware), bus (in-vehicle communications), train (cab communications and operator displays) and marine (integrated bridge and automation systems) applications. AIS supply chain services include everything from product development and sourcing to production and logistics, as well as the information systems needed to coordinate these activities. The company is also ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS16949 certified/approved.
Common ITS Applications for AIS Standard & Custom Computer Interface Solutions
ITS is the application of advanced information and communications technology to surface transportation in order to achieve enhanced safety and mobility while reducing the environmental impact of transportation. This category is sub-divided into three different categories: infrastructure, vehicles and operations. Within each category exists specific applications that AIS has a proven track record of success in solving operator interaction and HMI needs. Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communications networks where vehicles and roadside units are the communicating nodes; present many application opportunities for AIS rugged computers, human machine interfaces, operator displays and driver user interfaces. These ITS applications vary greatly and include safety, mobility, positioning, traffic management, drivers’ assistance systems, policing and enforcement, pricing and payments, travel-related information and general information services.
