In high-mix, low-volume markets, standard components are often not enough. Applications require precise adaptation, integration of multiple technologies and controlled industrialization. At the same time, building up internal engineering and production capacity requires significant time, investment and organizational effort.

AMS Technologies enables customers to extend their capabilities without expanding their own infrastructure. From optical subsystems and laser platforms to thermal systems and electronics, we provide structured engineering and scalable production in Europe. Our goal is not just to deliver components, but to turn technologies into reliable, market-ready solutions.

OPTICAL SOLUTIONS

Optical technologies are key for many high-tech industries – but the more specialized the application, the harder it is to find suitable standard products.

Whether we source a custom design from our network of quality suppliers or develop a custom solution in our own design centers – our experts are happy to match your requirements as closely as possible.

With our modular building blocks of short pulse laser heads and amplifiers from neoLASE as well as DPSS and dye lasers from Elforlight, we build custom laser systems for commercial, industrial, and scientific applications.

Or do you want to upgrade your laser machine, scientific laser or low-power oscillator? No problem, our compact neoLASE amplifiers are easy to integrate and a cost-effective way to make your existing setup fit for new applications.

We also create customized components, assemblies and systems – for example optical racks in a convenient, modular 19” format or complex electronics for control or evaluation.

THERMAL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS

We know that finding the right thermal management system for high-tech applications can be like squaring the circle – and sometimes require custom solutions.

We can either source a custom solution from one of our reliable manufacturers or have our experts design a custom system for you. Our engineering team and our own production facilities in Krákow, Poland, are close to our European customers, ensuring short ways, quick delivery, and strict quality standards.

Direct cooling, air cooling, liquid cooling, Peltier or compressor – our experts will be happy to match your unique needs as closely as possible. We also help our customers complying with the EU F-gas regulation with our growing portfolio of “green” cooling solutions that work with sustainable refrigerants.

Our solutions are either OEM kits for integration for integration into your application. Our chillers are designed as evaluation kits and the starting point for a custom variant tailored to your requirements.

FAQ:
Custom Solutions

What are custom solutions at AMS Technologies?

Custom solutions combine standard components, engineering expertise, and manufacturing capabilities into application-specific assemblies, subsystems, or complete systems. They are developed when off-the-shelf products do not fully meet the technical or commercial requirements. Each project is tailored to the customer’s application, performance targets, and production goals.

When does it make sense to choose a custom solution instead of a standard product?

A custom solution is often the better choice when a project requires higher performance, easier integration, reduced installation effort, or fewer suppliers. It can simplify qualification and reduce engineering effort. In many cases, it lowers the total cost of ownership even if the initial hardware is more specialized.

Can AMS Technologies support only part of my project?

Yes. We can support the entire development and integration process or contribute only where additional expertise or capacity is required. Some customers work with us on component selection, while others rely on us for engineering, manufacturing, or testing. Our involvement is tailored to the needs of each project.

Which technologies can be combined in a custom solution?

Many projects combine optical technologies, thermal management, and electronics within a single system. Our interdisciplinary engineering teams ensure that these technologies work together reliably. This approach reduces interface risks and simplifies system integration.

Can AMS Technologies develop prototypes before series production?

Yes. We support projects from feasibility studies and prototypes through validation and series production. Building and testing prototypes helps optimize performance before manufacturing is scaled up. This reduces technical risk and shortens the path to production.

Do you also manufacture custom solutions?

Yes. In addition to engineering, we provide production services for high-mix, low- to medium-volume applications. This includes assembly, integration, testing, and quality assurance. Customers can therefore work with a single partner from development through manufacturing.

Can you integrate products from different manufacturers?

Yes. Many custom solutions combine components from multiple technology partners. We select, qualify, and integrate these components into a complete system that meets the application’s technical and commercial requirements. Customers benefit from a single point of contact throughout the project.

How do you manage complex custom solution projects?

Every project is managed by a dedicated team that coordinates engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, and quality throughout the process. Close collaboration with the customer ensures that technical requirements, timelines, and budgets remain aligned. This structured approach helps reduce project risk and simplifies communication.

Which industries benefit from custom solutions?

Our custom solutions are used in photonics, medical technology, industrial manufacturing, analytical instrumentation, aerospace, defense, and scientific research. These applications often require specialized engineering and reliable long-term support. We adapt every project to the technical and regulatory requirements of the target industry.

Why choose AMS Technologies for a custom solution?

AMS Technologies combines component sourcing, engineering, production, and project management within one organization. Customers can use our expertise for the complete integration path or only for selected project stages. This reduces complexity, shortens development time, and creates a scalable solution that can evolve from prototype to series production.
