Ocean Optics has formed a dedicated OEM engineering group to provide expert support to optimise and expedite integrating optical components in OEM customers' systems.
These services are extended to all OEMs whether they contract directly with Ocean Optics or purchase through local distribution channels.
The OEM team brings together expertise across disciplines, including optical expertise, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and software development.
In the past 15 years Ocean Optics has developed extensive experience in optical design and know-how of applications in industries such as healthcare, environment, agriculture and food, chemistry and biotechnology.
The company's early involvement and vertically integrated product line enable the OEM team to offer a range of solutions, from components such as custom fibres and light sources to spectrometers and complete sub-systems.
This has proven time- and cost-effective for OEMs requiring a fast-track solution.
Ocean Optics provides integrated manufacturing, inventory control of customer-owned material and lean-manufacturing practices such as kanban releases for JIT shipment.
It is ISO 9001:2008 certified.
The company currently ships close to 20,000 spectrometers per year and has the capacity to more than double that amount.
In Europe, Ocean Optics has a dedicated OEM team with application engineers in the Netherlands, Germany, UK and France to help local OEM customers.
In its European full-service application lab, Ocean Optics can test customer samples or configurations.
