COMPANY PROFILE6
Data Respons works closely with our customers from specification to the delivery of an embedded solution.
speciFicationsSpecifications may include parameters for conditions such as temperature fluctuations,
vibration or humidity. In addition, special adaptations such as form or performance requirements or industry certifications may be required.
deVelopment The development of embedded solutions is tailored to each individual customer and pro-ject. Data Respons can help customers at every stage of design, development and production – from prototype to serial delivery. This demands a system perspective on embedded solutions and knowledge of customised HW/SW devel-opment, choice of technology platform and suppliers, preparation of test docu mentation and certification of prototypes.
assembly, test and deliVery Assembly, test and delivery are part of our operational capabilities. Data Respons has
comprehensive local testing facilities and co-operates closely with major test laboratories, enabling us to test products and solutions ac-cording to specific customer needs. We pro-vide our customers with quality assurance, predictability and traceability. We can handle all necessary paperwork in terms of shipping and customs, or ship products directly to the customer or to the end-customer.
next Generation Next generation is about helping our cus-tomers prepare for further development. An embedded solution normally involves a fair number of components from several suppliers, and we keep our customers up-to-date with regards to changes, upgrades and end-of-life issues. In addition, we advise on alternative solutions and next generation technology.

Kongsberg Seatex is one of the major players in the maritime domain for satellite position-ing products.
Kongsberg Seatex embraces products for atti-tude determination of vessels in various types of operation and applications to high level po-sitioning solutions utilising GNSS infrastruc-ture or microwave technology.
all-in-one-controllerThe new generation sensor platform consist of a dedicated controller that controls inter-operability between Seatex’ various sensor
systems. The platform is based on a comput-er-on-module with all necessary functionality embedded in one customised carrier board.
- One of the success factors of the new sen-sor platform is that new and existing func-tionalities are collected into one clean and nearly cable-free carrier board, explains Johan Edlund, Senior Key Account Manager at Data Respons.
- Additionally, Data Respons had the most rel-evant experience with embedded design and maritime solutions to meet this particular pro-ject’s requirements, Edlund adds.
Kongsberg Seatex was developing the next generation sensor platform for their sensor and communication products. The solution was a family of sensor platforms developed in close collaboration with Data Respons.

COMPANY PROFILE 13
the best oF tWo Worlds Data Respons develops embedded solutions in close collaboration with our customers and selected partners starting from specification, design and verification phase and finally in-dustrialisation, production, test and life cycle management.
Data Respons has established long-term strategic partnerships with all our suppliers in Asia, a model that has been developed over the past ten years. This collaboration ensures smooth communication between Data Respons, our customers and the Asian partners, so the cultural differences and geographical distances are no longer an issue.
– The close integration with our Asian part-ners into Data Respons’ global embedded development operations gives our customers greater speed to market and better quality, says Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO in Data Re-spons ASA.
FlexibilityA new project starts with appointment of pro-ject manager and project members, from our local offices and at our offices in Taipei and Shanghai. This gives us greater flexibility to distribute different tasks to the most appropri-ate project member, in addition to be able to work almost around the clock on a project.
Our Asian operation is continuously growing and simplifies our daily work with our partners
and customers in terms of on-site inspection of prototypes, production and quality on ship-ments going out from our partners.
The Sensor Platform project with Kongsberg Seatex is a very good example of getting the best of two worlds! Specification, develop-ment and industrialisation were done locally, and prototypes, volume production and test-ing at one of our strategic partner’s premises in close collaboration with Kongsberg Seatex and our Asian Operation Center.
