Quanser is the world leader in the design and manufacture of advanced systems for real-time control design and implementation used in industry, education and research. Our open-architecture control solutions are ideal for implementing and evaluating strategies from the simple to the extremely complex. Quanser control solutions and challenges are operational with more than 1,000 clients worldwide including universities, research laboratories and commercial organizations.

Quanser understands our customers’ needs. Issues like time to market, budget constraints and product quality are considered and reflected in the hardware and software we produce. Simply put: If your commercial end product incorporates complex control algorithms or strategies, we can improve your productivity and reduce your development time.

As for the education market, Quanser offers a variety of control challenges that are appropriate for all levels of university education and research, including feedback strategies such as PID, LQG, H infinity, fuzzy, neural nets, adaptive and nonlinear controllers. Our control experiments are distinctively modular which enable you to cost effectively employ the same power plant to perform experiments of varying complexity. By coupling the appropriate module to the plant you achieve configurations ranging from simple position servo control to advanced MIMO systems such as the Seesaw/Pendulum. When all is said and done you receive a greater variety of experiments to explore and save money in the process! See the Quanser Difference for more information on how we stack up in the marketplace.

All our control challenges can be managed via our complete line of control solution software and data acquisition hardware so you can create fully self-contained control workstations. Our solutions can be used to deploy an embedded system, explore hardware-in-the-loop applications, as well as control a number of alternative hardware systems. Our systems are fully compatible with MATLAB, Simulink and Real-Time Workshop and operate in a variety of computing environments, including Windows 2000/XP.

Launched in 1990, Quanser was founded by Dr. Jacob Apkarian, for the purpose of enhancing and advancing control theory education. While teaching at a Canadian University Jacob discovered that control theory was often a difficult concept for engineering students to grasp and many courses lacked the tools and means to translate control into tangible concepts. In light of this gap, Jacob set to work and began to envisage a highly engaging environment that enabled engineering students to explore a range of control concepts as well as develop, implement and test ideas of their own.

Since that time Quanser has evolved considerably and employs a diverse team of professional engineers and support staff who have been charged with the mandate to continually create, build and deliver a dynamic range of control theory challenges and solutions to the educational, and industrial marketplaces. Today, Quanser is recognized as the world leader in the development and manufacture of real-time control design and implementation used in education and research. Although our systems are utilized in a range of organizations and applications they continue to enrich the learning experience and enable researches to realize greater and more exciting advancements in the field of control theory.

At Quanser, the prime directive is to enjoy innovation, impart knowledge and produce quality control challenges and solution for our customers. You will find this approach consistent across everything we do: from the manner in which our systems are designed, to the way we embark upon new opportunities to establish standards in curricula as well as by the means in which we interact and share knowledge with our customers. Quanser is one of the few companies solely dedicated to the development of control, we live it, breathe it and believe in it and recognize that our systems are helping build better more qualified engineers to make the world a safer, and more interesting place.
