Why we redesigned our core

With the Plug-and-Drive™ PCB, PNW Assistive Technology didn't just add features; we completely optimized how our systems are built. This next-generation PCB provides each of our devices with:

  • Enhanced reliability

    A streamlined electronic architecture means fewer points of failure, giving you peace of mind wherever your Wayfinder™ takes your child.

  • Expanded capabilities

    We've packed more functions onto a single board, maximizing the many ways we can adapt our vehicles without the need for bulky add-ons.

  • Optimized craftsmanship

    By moving to an intuitive Plug-and-Drive™ system, we have cut our own manufacturing time in half. This means we can deliver our assistive technology products faster than ever — and students in our mentorship program benefit tremendously through exposure to this technology.
