💡 Innovation & Engineering

Our extensive history is defined by our ability to solve complex technical problems through custom engineering. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, BITS Limited developed and implemented numerous hardware and software upgrades to keep older systems compatible with emerging technology. This included critical legacy system upgrades such as replacing obsolete CRT monitors, computer upgrades that run faster yet run the OEM software and pioneering data storage & conversion by transitioning proprietary image archives from nine-track reel-to-reel tape to digital tape & CD formats. Building a stand alone workstation that converted the OEM format to the new DICOM standard while preserving the original images..

Furthermore, we created unique custom components like custom magnet power supplies for GE MAX MRI systems for use in 3rd world nations and wrote diagnostic solutions for Picker CT scanners to keep them going in countries that could not afford the newer systems. We also designed and sold some of the earliest PACS systems with the highest level security that was not available by the other manufacturers.

Our innovation continues today through proprietary products like the patented Smart Strip® Power Strip—which became the #1 green power strip in the U.S.. The Smart Strip was featured at the IDF intel developers forum, Capital Hill, Good Morning America, Oprah Winfrey and even won the Retail Vision award in 2004. More recent initiatives, including designing MRI-safe LED lighting systems for modernization and engineering PPE sterilization systems for hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Subcontracting/

Partnerships

BITS Limited rapidly established itself as a trusted subcontractor for several third-party service organizations. This role led to significant and lasting collaborations, most notably a long-term partnership with Sigma Imaging of New Jersey and the Morgan family. The value of this collaborative approach was critically highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where BITS Limited worked closely alongside Sigma Imaging to provide vital maintenance and repair services for diagnostic imaging systems at critical hospitals, including facilities like Mount Sinai and Nassau County Medical Center, underscoring their commitment to frontline healthcare support.

GLOBAL SEARCH

From its early beginnings in the New York metropolitan area, BITS Limited rapidly established a significant international footprint, evolving into a respected global service and support company with a proven track record of installation and service work in 48 states and 28 countries. In 1988 & 1990 our pioneering spirit led us to be the main subcontractor when the first U.S. companies formed the first joint ventures in China for diagnostic imaging equipment. This was further highlighted by our key role in the two national televised exhibitions in China in 1988 and 1990. This success propelled further expansion into regions including Costa Rica, New Zealand, Macau, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. A significant milestone was our 1995 partnership with Eureka Medical in Jamaica, where we soon completed more installations and service work than any other U.S. third-party provider, showcasing our robust logistics and international installation expertise and our unwavering reliability as a global service and support leader.
