Markets
Parvus specializes in rapid turnkey systems integration and development services, designing complete embedded computer systems tailor-made to customer requirements through the use of off-the-shelf building blocks and the company’s seasoned in-house engineering, testing, and production expertise. To facilitate the process for rapid concept to prototype to production, Parvus operates a mechanical and printed circuit board (PCB) assembly line, computer numerical control (CNC) machine shop, injection molding, vacuum forming, and rapid prototyping equipment, as well as environmental testing chambers at its Salt Lake City facilities.
Typical customer projects require low power consumption, high reliability, and tolerance to harsh environmental requirements (MIL-STD, NEMA, IP, RTCA/DO), including high vibration, shock, altitude, extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference, nuclear/chemical survivability, salt, fog, humidity, water, dirt, and/or explosive decompression. To minimize expense, these systems are typically based on open architecture PC/104, PC/104-Plus and PCI-104 products compatible with popular real-time operating systems (RTOSs), including Windows CE, XP embedded, Linux, QNX, and VxWorks.

Phased Development Process
Parvus leverages a three-phase development-to-production approach to reduce risk and provide certainty that systems meet customer expectations. Our experienced sales and engineering staff intimately know this process and will guide you through it from design to pre-production to production. Systems development typically takes from 8 to 12 weeks at each stage. Customer sign-offs and approvals are completed at each phase to ensure continual quality inspection. At Parvus, we provide our customers with long-term product support, attending to your every need, from design to engineering to production.
