AXYS Technologies Inc™ Site Visit
One of the West Coast Wave Initiative’s partners, AXYS Technologies Inc™, was gracious enough to provide several members of the WCWI team with a tour of their design and manufacturing facilities. The tour stared with a brief display describing their SmartView™ software which provides a means to visually view data collected by the AXYS Data Management System™. This was followed by a brief walk through the electronic assembly and final test facilities where the team was introduced to the WatchMan500™, AXYS’ custom designed intelligent, two-way communicating I/O platform.
The tour completed with a visit to the warehouse where the team was able to examine a portfolio of devices offered by AXYS.
