Elma delivers a range of embedded computing solutions to address complex system requirements in aerospace & defense as well as industrial. We specialize in using modular open standards building block to deliver COTS products that can be tailored to a specific project requirement - without starting from scratch.
We build hardware platforms that are deployed in harsh and rugged environments all over the world - meeting requirements standards for MIL, IP and IEC.

Elma's global engineering teams are key to our organization's capabilities. COTS and tailored designs form the backbone of our embedded systems and components. Our team of mechanical and electrical design engineers are experts in complex enclosure configurations and hardware system integration, I/O interconnects, environmental solutions for thermal management, EMC, and shock/vibration, as well as system monitoring/management, reliability and maintainability considerations. Design and test activities are supported by an in-house Design Verification and Test (DVT) lab as well as in-house thermal chambers and shock/vibe tables.
The lab enables our engineers to thoroughly test and verify performance each step of the way, significantly reducing time and costs.
We use the latest in 3D modeling, thermal analysis, structural analysis and signal integrity software, and apply a modular building block approach to leverage proven designs using open standards for system concepts. All this combined with a proactive product life-cycle management system for the long-term support and reliability you need - that's Elma.

Elma offers a full range of engineering services including electromechanical design, system architecture support, embedded platform integration, thermal and structural analysis, prototyping, and custom development services to help customers build rugged electronic systems.
Elma teams work with customers to define system requirements, recommend optimal platform architectures, select appropriate components, and ensure that modular design choices (such as OpenVPX, SOSA, or COM Express) align with performance, size, weight, and environmental goals.
Elma performs thermal, structural, and vibration analysis to verify that designs meet environmental and operational requirements. These analyses help ensure systems will perform reliably in rugged conditions before manufacturing.
Yes — Elma supports prototyping, physical verification, and integration testing, ensuring engineered solutions are validated before production and perform as expected in real-world environments.
Elma uses its experience with modular open standards and rugged systems to help integrate components — such as backplanes, chassis, and boards — ensuring they work together seamlessly while meeting electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements.
