How does Exponent's multidisciplinary approach provide better insights for computer control systems challenges?

Evaluating complex control systems accurately requires an experienced team of electrical and computer engineers and scientists as well as a breadth of industry knowledge. Exponent's multidisciplinary teams of electrical, vehicle, mechanical, thermal, and materials corrosion engineers support design, manufacturing, testing, auditing, and reliability of systems and their electronic controls.

Control systems comprise mechanical and electrical components (e.g., pneumatic, hydraulic, and/or electrical devices) and electronic control units of various forms (e.g., microcontrollers, programmable logic controllers, and/or distributed control systems). These systems are complex and can require extensive testing, evaluation, and validation to mitigate safety and assess failure risks. We evaluate many applications of control systems, such as products, vehicles, machines, and processes, and we provide consulting support for design; incident and failure analysis; litigation; and international arbitrations.
