MetaVR Production Facilities

We thought you might like to see what our production process looks like for our multi-channel visual systems. Our rackmount systems are in volume production; they are built to order by our zero-inventory, just-in-time, virtually integrated partner in the Boston metropolitan area, BostonTech Partners. With a large installed base we have developed significant manufacturing experience that yields systems that work out-of-the-box and require no on-site installation. Many customers do not even require on-site training or integration support as our viewpoint protocol enables customers to integrate their simulation host with our visual systems in a matter of weeks.

All subsystems are first built outside the chassis for extensive burn-in testing. Systems are then assembled into a rackmount configuration.	Various system tests are performed, which include network and uninterruptible power supply integrity tests. The system pictured here has a rackmount monitor for the operator's station. The operator's station enables the user to see the the output of any of the visual channels and to switch the monitor's output, and the keyboard-and-mouse input, to any computer in the rack.
After a full week of burn-in testing and QA, systems are packed in ruggedized plastic corrugated boxes that are custom designed for MetaVR's shipments.
Everything is packed to arrive safely via Federal Express.
Systems can be operational within a day after arrival with setup performed by your own site technicians; no on-site support is normally required.
