THE DON ALAN DIFFERENCE

WE BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER WAY

Don Alan is an Australian company with deep electronics expertise and innovative design skills. Don Alan is the problem-solving partner for Australian and multinational customers active in instrumentation, agriculture, defence, and industrial, products.

WHAT WE DO

Don Alan customers are innovators and leaders that develop and own their products and recognise the value of differentiation.

Don Alan partners with organisations that design and produce industry-leading products which are enabled by its innovative electronics.

Examples of our work is available via our Services page but, of course, each design is bespole for your specific challenge.

Connectivity

Web enabled means a lot more than just having a web interface for configuring the product. Most of our web-enabled systems log data and status to a server in the cloud that you and your customers can access from anywhere.

Displays & LCDs

At Don Alan, we have worked with the engineers of the major LCD glass manufacturers to understand every aspect of design and implementation so we can help you decide on the most beneficial technology – not just the latest trend.

Instrumentation

Good instrumentation is instrumentation that simply works without exceptions. And this is what we specialise in at Don Alan. Our instrumentation will give you peace of mind as you automate your factories and infrastructure.

Motor Drives

From 1W to 1500W, Don Alan has designed motor drives ranging from brushless DC to brushed DC, and from induction to stepper, while meeting expectations for power efficiency (green credentials), performance, low noise and compactness.

Plastic Enclosures

Most electronic modules end up in a plastic housing and with Don Alan’s considerable experience with plastic injection molding tooling, we can make injection molding tooling affordable even for quantities of several hundred.

Battery Management

This will lead to our section on cell expertise and batters management expertise – from cell chemistry through to charging systems. This will be a prominent and strong item for Don Alan.

Resonance

This section will lead to a section about resonance. Please note that in this section, we will talk up single board highly specialised solutions because that is something key that Don Alan offer.

Power Supplies

This is a new section for Don Alan and will talk up the way that Don Alan is expert in this field. This is a new section for Don Alan and will talk up the way that Don Alan is expert in this field.

Agritech

This section will lead to a new section about Agritech on the Don Alan website. It is a new section for the site and deserves to be prominent. It will combine auto history – marrying instrumentation – Auto and appliance control

PRODUCTION READY DESIGNS. VALUE ENGINEERED.

The combination of design and manufacturing expertise not only trims scraps of time and cost but stands to reduce the number of design iteration cycles making a step change in the cost of getting a product to market. This enables Don Alan customers to avoid wasting time and money from going down wrong paths.

“I took in a couple of printed circuit boards to show Donald what we needed. He looked at one, then told me both what it did and where its design was wrong. Donald Kay is the guru of electronics.” Don Alan customer of more than 20 years

Contact us when you want to access our electronics expertise and explore the option of fixed price design and production, which we are happy to offer whenever that’s possible.

GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN

The electronics supply chain offers unique challenges for medium and low volume production and here at Don Alan we have solved them. When we manufacture your product, most of the parts will be ex-stock, eradicating industry standard delays in procuring components (lead times) that typically range between 2 and 12 months. And choosing Don Alan also means you avoid the use of counterfeit components.

DON ALAN IN ACTION

Here are some case studies of clients experiencing the Don Alan Difference, as captured in this quote from one of our multinational clients: Don Alan has a deep level of electronics understanding and support with the ability to marry software and hardware together. This ‘one-stop shop’ for solving an embedded issue is a very efficient solution.
