Our Mission

System Centering Solutions is dedicated to providing Electronic System Level (ESL) design solutions that address the requirements of the Long LifeCycle (LLC) product markets. We enable the analysis and optimization of product reliability, maintainability, and evolvability during the ESL design phase and empower the designer to make optimal architectural choices based on product lifecycle requirements and constraints.

Instead of waiting until the electronics of a product have been designed at the component and PCB level, we provide a way to link electronic design into the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environment starting right away at the electronic system level. Earlier integration and earlier analysis eliminate costly design iterations and product compromises.
