Automated Light Pole Fabrication and Assembly
Fiberglass Pipe-winding Machine
- Fiberglass strands must be precisely wound around a mandrel to produce fiberglass pipe for the petroleum industry. Working with a fiberglass pipe manufacturer we were able integrate electronic control of this process. This increased production significantly and eliminated material wasted by doing the process manually. The control system was implemented in plants in the United States, China, Brazil & Dubai

Tool Storage and Retrieval System 
- Designed and programmed a control system for a tool storage and retrieval system for a Fortune 500 commercial aircraft manufacturer
Sports Training Equipment
Our client hired us to program a unique basketball training aid that doubled as an arcade game prototype. The goal was mounted on a rotating carriage base, allowing players to simulate a variety of shot conditions and distances while they remainined relatively stationery. This prototype has been installed in a national arcade chain.Features:
- Custom-designed HMI incorporating sound wave files for immediate user feedback
- Goal sensors
- 3 increasingly difficult skill levels.
