Automation Industries Corp - Form, Fit and Function

So, what is the big deal about FORM, FIT and FUNCTION design?

Frequently, electronic component manufactures simply cease production of a device used int eh manufacture of circuit boards. If form, fit and function design is not followed, and it often is not by less sophisticated manufacturers, one obsolete component can render and entire system insupportable because no repair parts can be purchased. The form, fit and function concept eliminates a large part of this risk by confining the affected circuitry to a plug-in module that can be redesigned using different components to accomplish the same result, thereby assuring that ongoing support can be made available at reasonable cost to both parties.
