Meeting the Defence Industry
The defence industry imposes exeptionally high demands on reliability, robustness, and security in electronics manufacturing. In applications where equipment is used under operational conditions-often with life-critical consequences-there is no margin for error. Products must perform flawlessly in extreme enviroments, withstanding fluctuations in temperature, vibration, and electromagnetic interferece.
Our customers in the defence sector expect a manufacturing partner that not only meets stringent quality requirements but also understands the complexity of their processes and products. Challenges often include fast development cycles, advanced testing, specific material requirements, and high environmental resilience.
In addition, the defence sector imposes strict demands on confidentiality, information security, and IT protection. Handling of sensitive data requires
rigorous procedures, verified traceability, and controlled access to both digital and physical environments. NOTE has adapted its operations to meet these expectations – with security-cleared personnel, dedicated production areas, and an IT infrastructure designed to safeguard customer data and production information.
NOTE’s offering is designed to meet these high standards. We provide support
across the entire product lifecycle – from new product introduction and rapid
prototyping to custom enclosures, complete accessory integration, environmental testing and the development of advanced test solutions via certified partners.
Our deliveries range from individual circuit boards (PCBA) to fully integrated, rugged systems. These are used in military applications always built to meet the highest standards of precision, durability, and operational reliability.
Meeting the Demands of the Security Industry
Security industry demands the highest standards of reliability, robustness – and above all – confidentiality. Products used in access control systems, surveillance,and encryption must perform flawlessly, 24/7, often in environments where accesscontrol and data protection are critical. A technical failure or information leak can have serious consequences.
Customers in this segment require a manufacturing partner that not only delivers technical excellence and quality, but also handles sensitive information with the utmost care. This includes requirements for classified personnel, secure documentation practices, and production in restricted or controlled environments.
NOTE has extensive experience working with sensitive projects where information security is a prerequisite. We offer a complete suite of services covering the entire product lifecycle – from design support and rapid prototyping to industrialisation, test development, and volume production. Our organisation, processes, and infrastructure are tailored to handle projects with high confidentiality and security demands, and we have personnel and production areas that meet these strict requirements.
We manufacture everything from circuit boards (PCBA) to fully integrated systems for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether it’s a smart locking solution, secure communications equipment, or encryption hardware, NOTE delivers products built to meet the highest standards of security, reliability, and long-term performance.
Examples of products we manufacture:
- automatic door locks and alarms
- access control systems
- network products with encryption
- surveillance cameras
- thermal cameras
- motion detectors
