Need a custom solution? Whether it’s hardware or software customization you require, Elma's engineering team works with you to define the specific needs for your application. We then offer you a solution that works right out of the box, at the production volumes you need.
Designing to meet customer requirements means careful consideration of an application’s specific criteria and its associated costs. Identifying application requirements upfront goes a long way in developing the proper enclosure system.
Working with our expert team to navigate through the design has proven development, cost and time-to-market benefits.
Chassis Platforms & Embedded Systems
COTS and custom designs form the backbone of our chassis platforms and embedded systems. Our team of mechanical and electrical design engineers are experts in enclosure configuration, thermal management, I/O interconnects, EMC, shock/vibration, system monitoring, reliability and maintainability considerations. Many of our platforms are designed to be customizable. We use the latest in 3D modeling, thermal analysis, structural analysis and signal integrity software, and apply a modular building block approach to leverage proven designs for new system concepts.
Electronic Cabinets
Our Optima cabinets offer a wealth of options for customized cabinets, even in lower quantities. Our modular cabinet frame designs and accessories enable us to easily build tailored or fully custom enclosures.
Design Enclosures & Front Panel Center
Thanks to the modular versatility of our design enclosures, we can tailor them in a variety of ways – be it color, size, custom accessories – we work with you to get it right. Look for the custom enclosure configurators on the different product type pages. Our Front Panel Design Center enables you to specify exactly what your system needs, and that we deliver. We offer a virtually infinite choice of colors, finishes and cutouts.
Custom Power Solutions
In addition to the extensive line of standard power supplies that we offer, Elma can provide fully custom solutions, using standard available building blocks.
Rotary Switches & Encoders
Many of our switches and encoders are designed from the ground up to offer modularity as well as customization. Each product category explains these options.
FAQs
Elma’s custom solutions are tailored engineering designs that combine Elma’s expertise in packaging, mechanical design, system integration, and manufacturing to meet specific customer requirements — especially when standard products don’t quite fit the application needs.
Customers may need custom solutions when their application requires specialized form factors, unique interfaces, unusual environmental protection, or specific mechanical integrations that aren’t available from standard off-the-shelf components or products.
Elma provides custom design across the full development cycle — including mechanical packaging, panel design, cut-outs and routing, thermal management, test integration, RF/EMI shielding, and environmental sealing as needed for rugged or specialized systems.
Elma works collaboratively with customers to translate unique performance or environmental requirements into engineered solutions, applying expertise in materials, mechanics, fabrication, and integration to address those needs.
Yes — Elma supports custom solutions from initial concept and design through prototyping, test validation, and full production using its global manufacturing footprint and engineering resources.
