Moxa’s R&D Team

Moxa's strong R&D team has a good track record of attracting brilliant hardware, software, and firmware engineers. People from all over are eager to join this outstanding R&D team for the opportunity to apply their own innovative power, and in the process, make Moxa's products even better.

Strengths

The MOXA R&D team is excellent at system integration and at designing highly reliable industrial products. Our R&D engineers seek the most durable hardware raw material, and then intelligently apply their technical expertise during the research and development process. The most important part of the design process—integrating hardware with software and firmware—is not an easy task, but at MOXA, our R&D team can determine the hardware and software specifications most suitable for creating reliable products with a low RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) rate. The MOXA R&D team will also customize products to satisfy customers’ varied needs. For example, the system used for an oil pipe control room may not be suitable for blood testing devices. MOXA recognizes these differences, and our R&D team is more than happy to modify our systems to satisfy the requirements of different customers.

Innovation and Awards

MOXA was recently honored with three national awards that demonstrate Moxa’s excellence compared to other businesses in the SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) category:

12th National Outstanding Small and Medium Enterprise Award
Recognizes the professionalism of Moxa’s management team, and the contributions the company makes to society.
10th Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Research Award
Recognizes Moxa’s ED6008 Series of 8-port intelligent Ethernet switches specially designed for harsh industrial environment applications. All of the products in this series conform to stringent industrial safety standards and provide users with sophisticated network management functions.
6th Rising Star Award
Recognizes Moxa’s topnotch R&D resources, core technology, and professional customer service for the NPort Family of products, which replace PCs as the communication connection between serial devices and the TCP/IP network. These products are used in applications with RS-232/422/485 devices in distributed management and remote control systems, including factory automation systems, monitoring systems, telecommunication/electrical equipment management systems, security/surveillance systems, and medical equipment networking.

Core Technologies

The MOXA R&D team’s expertise spans the many core technologies needed to manufacture highly reliable data communications products. The technologies we’ve mastered include asynchronous and synchronous serial communications, industrial Ethernet communications, serial-to-Ethernet communications, real-time OS and communications protocol stacks, and IC design. The MOXA R&D team has developed several key technologies, including a MOXA Operating System, ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control), and Turbo Ring, all of which make Moxa’s products more powerful. With these core technologies, and our expertise at integrating diverse systems, customers always find what’s suitable for them at MOXA.

Regarding software, MOXA is the first manufacturer to receive Windows 2000 certification for its families of multiport communication boards. In addition, our products are designed to work with all popular operating systems, including Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Windows XP/2000/2003, Linux, and SCO UNIX. Our multiport board drivers have been bundled into Microsoft Windows XP and the Linux kernel, meaning that every copy of Windows XP and Linux OS is shipped with a MOXA driver. Regarding hardware, Moxa’s products have received FCC, UL, and CE certification. In addition, state of the art ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) techniques specially designed for multiport serial communications are used, greatly reducing the number of traditional ICs and drastically lowering the repair rate.
