The primary mission of FALA's engineering organization is turnkey prototype equipment development, which includes system design, build, integration and testing.

Nanoscience Technology- A case in point.
FALA has placed a strong emphasis on R&D projects, many of which have been tied to next-generation nanotechnology. Working in this arena has given FALA the opportunity to develop a number of turnkey advanced technology systems. These leading edge systems have emphasized product handling and particle generation/control in both atmospheric and vacuum environments. Illustrated below is one such custom prototype system recently designed, built, integrated, qualified and installed. It represents the many skills and disciplines resident at FALA Technologies to deliver on such systems.

SEMATECH International Advanced Lithography Center in Albany, N.Y
The turnkey development cycle for this system was eight months, from concept through qualification, inclusive of all system control and integration software. Below are the eight individual elements

1. System Architecture
This engineering "blueprint" is the plan that allows efficient execution of the detailed design-and-build process.

2. Software Development
As the intelligence behind the physical equipment, software coordinate a system's resources into a smoothly functioning, easy-to- use whole

3. Power Distribution and Control Systems
Determining how to distribute, manipulate and control power and system parameters.

4. Work Cell Environment Sub-Class 1
Highly clean work cell environments is essential for advanced technology development and manufacturing production of nanoscience circuitry

5. Automation Product Handling & Transport
Loading, handling and cycling of materials or products through a sequence of machine controlled processes, inspection or test operations

6. High Vacuum, System Design, Build & Test
Custom-designed high vacuum system

7. System Integration
"Single-source" solution to prototyping and OEM manufacturing production needs

8. Compliance Engineering
Products are designed and evaluated for safety and ergonomic ease of use, in accordance with industry-specific standards
