Commitment to Innovation and Design

Pixus Technologies is the "embedded computing group" of Rittal, the largest manufacturer of enclosures in the world.  Pixus was founded by former Kaparel/Rittal management, with the design leadership team that developed cutting-edge COTS open standard architecture solutions since the 1990's. 

The Pixus/Rittal team is able to offer time-tested embedded computing system platforms and electronics enclosures at competitive prices.  We leverage the Rittal brand mechanical designs with over 100K components and hundreds of proven enclosure designs to PICMG and VITA open-standard specification for over 30 years.  Pixus also provides unsurpassed thermal management solutions, creative design innovations, backplane design and subsystem integration expertise. This powerful combination results in the premier value in the industry for electronics packaging.

Service Offerings

Front Panel Customization & Assemblies:

Front panels require precision design and manufacturing to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and EMC protection.  Services for the front panels include custom design, stamping/milling, painting/silkscreening, assembly and single part number ordering. Contact Pixus for custom handle/panel services.

Modified Standards & Customization:

Pixus Technologies' focus allows their customers to supply the application while they provide a reliable architecture solution on time. One of their main tasks is to develop and test individual parts, then supply these fully assembled and tested in any required configuration and quantity.

Thermal Simulation:

Using thermal analysis software and test equipment, Pixus is able to provide thermal management analysis of the enclosures. We can perform "what if...?" simulations to determine the best course of action in providing adequate cooling while balancing your EMC, acoustic noise, mechanical, and cost-basis requirements.

Backplane Simulation/Characterization:

Pixus Technologies can perform 

pre-design simulation and post-design characterization testing to confirm superior backplane performance.
