| California-
American Reliance, Inc. (ARI), a division of AMREL Corporation,
has recently expanded its manufacturing facilities in
response to rising demands for the SPS series programmable
DC switch-mode power supplies. The new facility houses
ARI assembly, testing, and quality control and is connected
to a second wing currently undergoing renovation in
preparation for further expansion. Alex Wang, AMREL
COO estimates the second wing will be ready for use
by March.
The SPS series made its debut
in January 1998 and was eagerly adopted by consumers.
Offering high power density packed into a low profile,
1.75" tall unit, the SPS has become extremely popular
among test engineers looking to "rack n' stack" the
systems.
The SPS is equipped with 12-bit DAC and feedback
circuitry to provide excellent programming
accuracy, readback resolution, and precise line/load
regulation (lmV/lmA).
The unit employs firmware to allow for electronic
calibration without requiring the unit to be removed
from its environment.
Standard features include low ripple & noise,
external analog programming capabilities, a 10
turn potentiometer for voltage and current control,
and program protection modes (voltage, current
& temperature).
The SPS can also be fitted with any combination of
optional features from the unit's extensive feature
menu, including GPIB/RS232 interfaces, which in conjunction
with a PC controller enables remote operation.
In anticipation
of the projected 250% sales growth in 2001, Mr. Wang
has relocated his office to the manufacturing facilities
where he will focus on the expansions and the implementation of
additional procedures.
Mr. Wang has already put into practice several
new procedures designed to heighten customer satisfaction;
including the creation of an electronic tracking system
used to track orders as they progress through different
stages of production.
The information gathered is available to
manufacturing, sales, and customer support staff via
ARI's intranet.
Mr. Wang will use the data collected by the system
to analyze the production procedures in practice
and make changes if necessary.
In accordance
with AMREL's dedication to providing superior products
and customer support, ARI will make every effort
to meet customer demands for the SPS and pledges to
remain committed to manufacturing quality products
and providing excellent customer service.
