Acal BFi – We are your partner for complex solutions

Our approach to complex solutions

Through a consultative, design-led approach we’re enhancing the technological solutions we develop with our customers.

Our specialist field and Technology Centre-based engineers are committed to constantly evolving our collective expertise and capabilities. This ensures that we’re able to effectively collaborate with our customers to design complex and custom solutions that meet a project’s specific requirements.

Together, we’ll overcome the challenges of tomorrow

We’re committed to working with you to develop custom solutions that enhance our technological future. Our approach to achieving this is simple: Consult. Design. Integrate. Like any approach, it requires the individual elements to function in unison with constant evolution. Our approach works effectively by combining the following three core elements.

Engineers – our team of engineers sit at the heart of our business. Whether they’re based in the field or in a Technology Centre, specialists in a particular technology or application, our engineers are central to your success.

Capabilities – the capabilities that our engineers possess are not only based on their expertise and experience but on the state-of-the-art facilities available to them to guide your technology through the project lifecycle.

Strategic partners – the relationships we have developed with our carefully chosen strategic partners ensures that we deliver solutions now and throughout the full lifecycle of your application.

Our Technology Centres are a pivotal part of our consultative, design-led approach. At each facility we have highly experienced industry experts in their respective fields. These engineers advance our expertise and develop our facilities to ensure that they remain at the forefront of technology advancements.

With this approach, engineers, capabilities, and strategic partners, and our Technology Centres to advance our ability to deliver innovative technology solutions, we’ll drive an enhanced technological future together.

Consult. Design. Integrate.

When it comes to developing custom solutions for tomorrow’s technologies, we trust our approach to deliver the best possible outcome

Consult

Understanding your requirements

To meet the specific needs of our customers and their projects, we work together to identify, understand and overcome the challenges that come with developing electronic applications.

We understand that collaboration is important to a successful relationship. And that’s why we’ll bring the right people to the table, along with any strategic partners we feel can ensure that the right solution can be developed.

Design

Handling complex solutions

Design is at the centre of our approach to developing complex solutions. Together, our technology and application-focused engineers are vastly experienced. Simply, they’re experts in identifying the right components to meet the needs of any project.

So, whether we’re modifying or creating custom components, or integrating standard components into a single solution – design is vital to any solution we create with our customers.

Integrate

Make it real

The integration of technologies, components, and teams is vital to any successful design project. And we’re committed to supporting you across the lifecycle of a component or application. That’s why we’ll identify the right partners and components to meet the needs of your project.

We have engineers across every technology, each supported by a dedicated Technology Centre. They can call on our strategic partners to develop leading-edge components and manufacturing capabilities. By successfully integrating people, products, and processes, we’re sure to produce positive outcomes.

When resource or capacity is limited, you can depend upon our knowledge and dedicated Technology Centres to support you from concept through to production
