Today, thanks to PRIMA ELECTRONICS, a third way exists
which puts together COTS electronics’ benefits with  custom’s
at the same time reducing almost all their disadvantages:
 Dedicated Off-The-Shelf ®.

 

DOTS mandate is about electronics designed and manufactured according to the customer’s requirements and specific to its own application, nevertheless designed and delivered with the same level of industrialisation of a commercial Off-The-Shelf product.

The DOTS business model is summarised in the following scheme:

 

The industry specialises in specific products, that is, high quality industrial goods and services, designed and packed according to the customer’s requests.

This shifthas occurred gradually thus becoming a real new electronics dimension. A dimension that requires the capability to respond to customers’ outsourcing needs with products whose industrialisation level is the same as  commercial ones, where “industrialisation” does not only means modern technological content, but also quality, logistics, service and support, time-to-market, cost competitiveness, life cycle product management and, last but not least, the reliability offered by suppliers with financial stability. A supplier who proposes himself as a medium/long term partner is able to allow the customer to free his own planning and manufacturing resources without reducing the product industrialisation level.

DOTS electronics, combining COTS and CUSTOM benefits, without having to deal with their disadvantages, implies:

  • Low development costs, mainly shared with other projects and products;
  • high compliance with the customer’s requests and international standards;
  • good time-to-market and product design;
  • production on customer’s forecast so that time-to-market is secured

Moreover PRIMA ELECTRONICS can add, thanks to its size and  history and belonging to the PRIMA INDUSTRIE group, the following features:

  • qualified and consolidated technical support over time;
  • high industrialisation level (quality, logistics, reliability);
  • reliability based on its proven financial stability

 

PRIMA ELECTRONICS is leader in DOTS electronics and it is active in COTS and custom market areas with:

  • “dedicated” solutions with respect to market standards;
  • products with high industrialisation level and low unit cost
