Embention has announced the release of a new Veronte Autopilot hardware with enhanced reliability & performance, thanks to new manufacturing and quality procedures.
Main features:
Extended warranty up to 5 years
As part of our commitment to our customers and our confidence in the reliability of the control system Embention has now extended the warranty period of Veronte Autopilots up to 5 years. This long-term commitment provides an additional safeguard to our partners so they can ensure extended reliability in their systems.
Component traceability during the whole manufacturing process
Traceability of internal components in Veronte Autopilot becomes a fundamental value in order to extend reliability. Autopilot manufacturing process includes the tracking of every single part in the autopilot permitting to ensure a high level of quality in all units and to prevent failures in case one lot of components is defective.
High grade aerospace components
Even if the Veronte Autopilot appearance has not changed, internal components have been upgraded to meet the most demanding requirements from environmental standards: DO160, MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F. All system parts have been revised for including components with extended performance and MTBF enhancing product quality and ensuring a high performance of the Veronte Autopilot for any environmental conditions.
More exhaustive quality procedures
A fundamental part of the manufacturing process to warrantee the quality of the finished product is therefore that we submit the autopilot to different quality tests during the whole manufacturing process. High volumes in the production of Veronte Autopilot have permitted to go one step further in the industrialization of the manufacturing process, including dedicated personnel and high-grade equipment for each step in the assembly chain.
Extended testing and reliability records
Together with the implementation of new manufacturing and quality testing procedures, Embention has also included extended traceability of these test. It augments the autopilot datapack available. Manufacturing records are stored at Embention for 5 years and can be used for tracing any unexpected performance or defective lot or for proving system reliability to certification authorities or any other third party that requires it.
Robust PCB coating for standing harsh environmental conditions
Veronte Autopilot aluminium enclosure is IP67 protected so no water or dust can get into the autopilot when operating in humid environments. This protection may not be enough in cold weathers or at high altitude as the internal humidity in the autopilot may condensate. For this reason, Veronte Autopilot PCBs are coated with a special protection that warrantees autopilot performance even in the harshest environments.
