At Hiller Measurements, we’ve made distinct efforts to identify and mitigate waste in our design and manufacturing processes, and our greatest leaps have been with what we refer to as Digital Thread, the process of connecting formerly disparate value-added steps or processes through software, resulting in substantive reductions in cost and cycle times. It’s the way we’re re-thinking our business and truly creating meaningful change that benefits our customers.

Today, we announced ProteusATE Cable and Harness (ProteusC&H), a model-based platform providing custom design and expedited delivery of cables and harnesses for mission-critical applications at scale.

Like most organizations, public or private, Hiller Measurements is driven to produce more value, faster and leaner than ever before, while improving overall quality. How do you do that? For many, the answer seems to be “you can’t,” which becomes the assumed reality until a single organization proves otherwise.

We’re not waiting for someone else to disrupt our industry.

Today, we announced Proteus RFSim, a model-based design tool for evaluating real-world performance of complex RFIUs using digital-twin design.

"The pilot is always one switch throw away from making a bad situation worse." It's a joke at the pilot's expense, but it's also a saying about the fragility of flight and the importance of being ready for anything. In this episode of ae2,  former NASA astronaut, Col. Greg Johnson teaches us a lesson about problem solving.

Today we announced the Proteus Design Center, a digital portal that brings Hiller Measurements and client teams together to collaboratively design test system architectures using industry 4.0 technology in the cloud quickly.

Today, we announced the promotion and addition of several strategic team members including Ben Cloutier, COO; Jeff Smith, CFO; Jeff Jones, CQO; Tim DiFatta, Client Digital Engagement to the Hiller Measurements team.

Since 2017, Hiller Measurements has been humbled by extraordinary growth in our business, as our willingness to address complex power, RF, and mixed signal test system design aligned with robust demand for those services from some of the largest mission-critical product companies in the world.

Humbled is an entirely appropriate term for this growth in our case as we’ve both enjoyed our acceleration in test system market share and been challenged as we’ve scaled our operation and capabilities.  

At times during the process, we’ve had to face sobering realities such as discovering idiosyncrasies we could live with as a small team but no longer could at scale, and subtle process inefficiencies when we were a small team that became enormous opportunities for improvement as we grew.

Today, we announced ProteusRF, the first of several platforms to take advantage of the Hiller Measurements Flow Control (HMFC) process. With ProteusRF, we can design an RFIU in hours and manufacture, test, and ship a first article in as little as four weeks from acceptance of an order.  

I am sure we can all agree that running a company is not an easy task. But, being brought in to run a company in distress – that seems like a nearly impossible endeavor. But not for Eric Kish. In this latest episode of ae² we talk to Kish, an accomplished CEO, author, and speaker, about his work over the last couple of decades running and turning around 12 distressed companies across five industries in an average time frame of just 18 months.
