(AIS), a subsidiary of Ennoconn Corporation and group member of Foxconn IPC, announced it offers Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design Manufacturing Services (DMS) to help its customers deploy new Visualization, Control and Monitoring Solutions for IoT, Industry 4.0 and IIoT. The company is a global provider of Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) touchscreen interfaces, industrial panel computers, and Industrial PC's (IPC) and Thin Clients.
DFM is the general engineering art of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. AIS is a global leader and expert at engineering, designing and manufacturing open platform Industrial HMIs, Industrial PCs and Thin Clients, Rugged Panel Computers, and Military Embedded Computing Systems for OEM and ODM customers. DMS combines contract product design with contract manufacturing as a service to other companies that do not possess the required resources. AIS's customers often turn to them for their DMS expertise as they are focused on other aspects of their business and existing resources are simply overloaded. As a turnkey DMS for HMIs and Industrial Touch Panel PCs, AIS also provides other services such as quality management, product lifecycle management, order fulfillment, logistics and aftermarket service.
