Custom engineering at AML Oceanographic involves creating specialized solutions tailored to meet specific project needs. This can include sensor integration, PCB development, and firmware or mechanical engineering. It ensures that clients receive unique, high-precision tools that may not be available on the market, enhancing the effectiveness and accuracy of their operations.

Custom engineering costs are typically structured as Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) expenses, which are upfront charges to develop a custom solution. These costs cover the engineering and development phases, and the final product may either be exclusive to the client or integrated into AML’s product line.

The development time for a custom engineering solution can vary significantly based on the complexity and components involved. Projects can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to complete.

The ownership of the resulting IP from custom engineering projects typically remains with AML Oceanographic. However, there are instances where the client might retain certain rights or opt to purchase the developed solution directly from AML.

While AML strives to meet all customization needs, there are practical limitations based on technical feasibility, cost, and certification requirements for different regions. It’s essential to discuss specific needs and constraints during the initial consultation to ensure all requirements can be met effectively.
