  • Application software for Windows & embedded environments
  • Program code in C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, XML & .NET
  • Embedded system functions
  • Simple setup utilities
  • Complex, multi-use networked platforms
  • Web-accessible telemetry interfaces

ELECTRONICS – no overdesigning; we design to expand

  • Microcontroller-based, combining digital & analog security
  • Usually involve embedded designs with attention to user interface
  • Typical design elements include:
  • LCDs & LED display, audio & amplifiers
  • RS-232, RS-485, Ethernet & CANBUS networking
  • Wireless; RF, RFID, 802.11, Bluetooth®, Cellular
  • Analog/Digital conversion, sensors & switches
  • PC, PDA or onboard software controls

MECHANICAL – designing for manufacturability

  • Engineers with strong backgrounds in ergonomic & user interface design
  • Experience with tool & amp, die, injection mold & fabrication processes contribute to design efficiency
  • Design elements generally involve:
    • Physical circuit board optimization
    • Mechanical packaging of electronic products
    • SolidWorks 3D solid modeling
    • Rapid prototyping in SLS, SLA or machining

SPECS – Spend a moment. Save a project.

  • Clear product specification
  • Incorporate marketing & business perspectives to further define
    & refine products
  • Probe to determine what is needed beyond just the initial request
  • Critical step to ensuring success
  • Important phase that pays for itself many times over through the
    product’s lifetime

MANAGE – Control, but adapt.

  • Management of any or all phases of your product development
  • From concept & prototype -- to completed design & manufacturing -- to field service & aftermarket support
  • Project engineering & product engineering
