Video surveillance technology has moved on since the days of grainy black-and-white images feeding on-site control rooms. HD is standard and cameras now have infrared, wide dynamic range, facial detection, object counting, intrusion detection capabilities, and much more. IP technology and new video compression codecs are enabling smart recording, remote control and integration with other enterprise systems. These cutting-edge solutions serve a diverse group of vertical markets, including government, retail, banking and finance, transportation, healthcare, gaming, education, commercial and residential applications. At the heart of one of the latest large-scale surveillance systems is a switch that provides the intelligence and performance demanded by customers. When one of the world’s largest providers of video surveillance technology was looking for a power supply for their next generation switch, they turned to Artesyn and the DS460S series server power supply. This bulk front end unit is now providing a 1+1 redundant power supply to keep people safe all over the world.

A renowned healthcare equipment supplier was looking for a reliable medical power supply to provide 60 W at 12 V for their new compression pump, which is used for the treatment of a wide variety of vascular or lymphatic conditions. The product would be sealed, so an open frame power supply would fit the bill. Artesyn recommended the NPS60-M series AC-DC power supply as it met all the customer’s requirements and has built a reputation for reliable operation in medical equipment.

Mammography is specialized medical imaging that uses a low-dose x-ray system to see inside the breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women. A leading manufacturer of mammography systems approached Artesyn regarding their new digital product. The equipment needed 4 output voltages but these had to be adjustable during the development phase of the product. As this customer was looking to develop quickly, the power supply had to be a standard product and medically approved. The Artesyn MicroMP (uMP) series configurable power supply fit the bill and at a cost that rivalled some non-configurable options.

A manufacturer of advanced surgical operating tables approached Artesyn with a specific set of requirements for their next generation medical product. Providing a 24V output and the ability to drive the motor in the bed were relatively common and straightforward needs. More challenging was the need for no audible noise for patient comfort, support for constant current mode operation and medical safety approvals. Artesyn’s LCC250 series conduction-cooled AC-DC power supplies fit the bill with a minor modification to support the motor drive specification. The customer was also looking for DC-DC modules and appreciated the benefits of sourcing all these power requirements from a single trusted supplier.

It is now possible to 3D print almost anything, from body parts to cars. 3D printing is hailed as the next industrial revolution and the printers themselves range from small desktop units for hobbyists to massive industrial machines designed for production-grade manufacturing. When a maker of high-speed industrial 3D printers was looking for cost-effective but quiet 600-watt power supplies for their latest machine, the developers turned to the Artesyn LCM600 series. These power supplies are available with sophisticated smart fan algorithms providing low-noise performance. The digitally controlled topology of the LCM600 series provides the highest level of flexibility with simple software changes to suit the client's needs.
