Industry 4.0

As a product development engineering firm, we use our extensive capabilities beyond siloed mechanical, electrical, or software systems. We provide advanced engineering solutions across the entire Industry 4.0 landscape including machine automation, real time location systems (RTLS), factory intelligence, and IoT-connected systems. The best part? We have every discipline needed to tackle these challenges in-house, eliminating silos and accelerating innovation. All we need now is your next big challenge.

An Innovative Approach to Machine Automation

Whereas most automation companies only specialize in the controls or the tooling, we create completely new solutions. We take our integrative team's skills and extensive background in mechanical, software, and electrical engineering to solve problems in new and unique ways.

Self-Guided Vehicles

We created large autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) used for building the body on large delivery trucks.

Ice Sculpting

We developed completely new approaches to form ice, shape ice, and etch ice. This was a very complex task that transformed a low-volume artisanal craft into a highly optimized, high-quality factory-scale implementation.

New Temperature Measurement Tech

We created high-speed thermal calibration equipment for the semiconductor industry. Rather than simply building what the customer initially wanted, we collaborated to develop a new solution that increased part throughput at higher quality and lower cost.

Custom Automation Software

We can program PLCs like everyone else, but we can also write custom high-speed control software, create custom electronics, fabricate and test all of it in our facility, and create custom software interfaces to visualize and analyze the data coming from the machines(s).

Real-Time Location Services (RTLS) Solutions

We excel at building RTLS solutions because we thrive at the intersection of hardware, software, and data analytics. Our multi-disciplinary team has loads of experience designing and integrating RTLS systems that deliver precise, real-time insights. We don’t just piece together off-the-shelf components—we engineer custom solutions that optimize accuracy, reliability, and efficiency for mission-critical applications. Whether tracking assets in a high-security environment or optimizing workflow in a dynamic facility, we bring together the right technologies to ensure seamless performance and actionable results.

Our RTLS Capabilities

Custom RTLS System Design

Developing tailored solutions that meet specific accuracy, range, and environmental requirements.

Sensor and Hardware Integration

Selecting and integrating RFID, UWB, Bluetooth, and other tracking technologies for optimal performance.

Data Processing & Analytics

Building software solutions that turn raw location data into meaningful, real-time insights.

Scalability & Deployment Strategy

Designing RTLS systems that scale efficiently from pilot projects to full operational deployment.

Environmental & Interference Analysis

Ensuring reliable performance in complex environments with varying signal conditions.

Seamless API & Software Integration

Connecting RTLS data with existing enterprise systems for streamlined operations and decision-making.

Factory Intelligence

We have significant experience building connected factory intelligence solutions that deliver real-time insights and automate manual processes. Our multi-disciplinary expertise spans software development, systems engineering, and industrial automation, allowing us to design and integrate custom solutions that optimize efficiency, reduce errors, and improve decision-making. We ensure that the data we collect drives meaningful actions, seamlessly connecting factory floor operations to enterprise systems like ERP and MES. Whether tracking production flow, automating compliance logging, or visualizing critical metrics, we put the puzzle pieces together to deliver precise, actionable intelligence for complex manufacturing environments.

Real-Time Production Monitoring

Developing takt screen data for centralized dashboards and workstation displays, enabling instant visibility into assembly line progress.

Automated Data Entry

Integrating real-time tracking with ERP systems to reduce the number of human actions and input errors.

Digital Quality Management Systems

Replaced paper-based processes with touchscreen-enabled quality management tools, providing real-time insights and reducing production bottlenecks.

Smart Asset Tracking

Blended indoor tracking (UWB) with outside tracking (LoraWAN GPS) to locate any vehicle in a multi-acre facility using its VIN; also useful for tracking tools, materials, shipments, and other assets across large facilities.

Custom Dashboard & Analytics Development

Creating intuitive visualizations that give plant managers the data they need to optimize performance and reduce downtime.

From Concept to Production,
Faster, Smoother, With Less Risk.

You have the vision. We have the team and expertise to get it built. Let's collaborate to innovate, problem-solve, and de-risk every step of the way.
