Working with Entropy

When you have project responsibility, leaning on a little outside help can be prudent. Even the most experienced organisations sometimes require additional expertise.

At Entropy we pride ourselves on being an engineering and simulation leader within the field of rugged electronics design. We use our experience in design of rugged modules and chassis to complement your in-house capabilities and deepen your teams’ expertise.

We get up to speed with your challenges quickly, enabling us to deliver faster and reducing time-to-manufacture.
