Electromagnetic compatibility of IT and electrical installations

Legal constraints reviewed through safety board and

authorities




TDWs fast track: investment process into new technologies and products

Creating a competitive, export-oriented product portfolio

• Demonstrating mature technologies and systems to customers

• Creating customer value and reducing unit production costs

Mitigating technical risks

• Managing risks efficiently during the early product phase

• Avoiding several expensive development cycles

Reducing the time-to-market

• Comprehensive design and simulation capabilities

• Standardization and modularity of our products

Holistic approach based on our modeling and simulation capabilities




Standardization and modularity of our products

• Identified levels of modularity

Level 1

Applying modularity on component groups, i.e., physical modules linked through defined interfaces

Example: fuze system as a module in a lethal package

Level 2

Applying modularity on design, i.e., functions are defined seperately and require defined inter-faces to another one.

Example: design of a compression system or power supply circuit

Level 3

Applying modularity by using the same elements or components

Example: use of stan-dardized DIN screws or transistors of a catalog
