INSIDE UEI: Our Team Blog

In many aerospace, defense, and industrial applications, preserving existing cable infrastructure is not just convenient—it’s essential. But integrating new hardware often means navigating a maze of incompatible connectors, custom wiring, and costly modifications. Traditional solutions involve messy “sky wiring,” internal rewiring, or complete harness overhauls that waste time and money. That’s where UEI steps in.

The industry is undergoing a significant shift, moving away from traditional synchro and resolver-based input systems toward digital rotational position sensors. This transformation is driven by the growing demand for higher precision, efficiency, and ease of integration in various applications.

In today’s evolving engineering landscape, Model-Based Design (MBD) has emerged as a game-changing approach that accelerates development, enhances accuracy, and reduces costs. By leveraging digital modeling, simulation, and automated code generation, engineers can identify design flaws early, optimize performance, and streamline deployment. MBD is widely used across aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, and embedded systems, ensuring efficiency in complex projects.

UEI partnered with Bell to assist in their model-based development (MBD) of this new autonomous fly-by-wire application. Bell needed a rugged and flexible I/O system capable of running their Simulink model for verification testing on the ground and then for later transfer to inflight testing. Learn more.

Adding the Intel x6425RE processor to the robust UEIPAC line of programmable automation controllers enhances UEI’s already strong product flexibility by giving our customers more options for customizing performance to meet specific needs and improving adaptability in various aerospace, industrial, ATE, and defense testing environments.
