About Ampex
Ampex is a pioneering company in the field of data storage and recording technology, founded in 1944. Renowned for its innovation, Ampex developed the first practical video tape recorder in the 1950s, revolutionizing broadcasting and media. Over the years, the company has expanded its expertise to include advanced data management solutions, serving industries such as aerospace, defense, and entertainment with cutting-edge technology.
Ampex Corporation is a licensor of visual information technology. Ampex has two business segments: Recorders segment and Licensing segment. The Company's Recorders segment primarily includes the sale and service of data acquisition and instrumentation recorders (which record data and images rather than computer information), and to a lesser extent mass data storage products, all of which are made by its manufacturing subsidiary, Ampex Data Systems Corporation (Data Systems). The Company's Licensing segment involves the licensing of its intellectual property to manufacturers of consumer digital video products through its corporate licensing division.
4 Star Quality Assurance
Our corporate goal is to be 100% accurate on every Ampex order that we process. We achieve this goal by implementing several quality control checks throughout our distribution process.
This Ampex inspection procedure includes:
- IDEA-ICE-3000 (72-point) visual inspection by (3) different quality inspectors.
- Data sheet verification of all parts.
- Acetone swab test on sample pieces.
- Extensive views under our macro zoom (200x) microscope for quality detection.
- Digital photos of all outgoing Ampex parts.
- We maintain a strict approved vendor list (AVL).
4 Star Electronics also uses many customer satisfaction measurements to determine our performance in the marketplace with distributors, major customers and the ultimate end users of our products. Some of these measurements include customer surveys, on-time delivery and customer complaints. By doing this we have up to date information on how we are doing on multiple levels which in return equals complete customer satisfaction. Also by including customers in this process, we are able to prioritize their requirements and prevent deviations in our performance. As part of our continual commitment to quality, all Ampex parts that we receive are inspected in our state-of-the-art ANSI/ESD-S20.20 certified facility located in San Clemente, California. We want you as the customer, to have the peace of mind knowing that every part you receive from 4 Star Electronics has been thoroughly inspected and has passed our rigorous inspection procedure.
