Fomalhaut Techno Solutions

  Fomalhaut Techno Solutions was established in 1994. Since then its business has expanded from analysis of mobile communications equipment to automotive fields. In recognition of the company's capabilities, it currently has established a loyal customer base.

  Fomalhaut does not do teardown analyses down to the level of chips and circuit boards. Rather, the company excels at activities such as carrying out a general analysis of parts and creating block diagrams. Projection of the function of circuit boards and other components is carried out based on observations of the interior and exterior of electrical devices. These research methods make Fomalhaut comparatively speedy and economical, and it handles an average 10 projects per month including devices unrelated to the automotive industry.

Our Services

	Specifications A list of component information including use, vehicles that use the parts, and supplier names; as well as visually observed specs.
	Teardown overview General structure can be determined at a glance, and this information also serves as an index for the pages below.
	Block Diagram Fomalhaut utilizes its knowledge to represent the entire structure of parts, including assumptions. All functions are represented in the block diagram, and while the details of circuits are not known, in combination with the teardown photo taken from above mentioned previously, a general idea of the structure of the part can be ascertained.
	Observation of circuit boards While each layer is not separated, mounted elements are analyzed and block diagrams verified to create BOMs and costing.
	Microscopic observation Areas to be represented by points are magnified to gain a detailed understanding of the technology. While there is no internal analysis of circuit boards or elements performed, general inferences attained through means like examining the circuits and block diagrams makes this a useful form of analysis.
	BOM A list with a general view of components based on the analysis methods noted previously. Starting from weight, (some components only) components are organized by categories ranging through price.
