Our Expertise and Experience
Expert Project Management and Systems Engineering
From traditional project management following the systems engineering “V”, to Agile scrum methodologies, and hybrids of the two customized for hardware development, we have experience applying standard practices and tools to projects of all types and sizes. Want to manage using earned value, need a probabilistic PERT analysis to ensure projects will meet your timeline, or want to manage projects through a kanban and product backlog? We can help!
Any-Volume Manufacturing systems
We have experience developing flexible manufacturing systems and workstations that process thousands, to hundreds of millions of products per year. Need an operator station and process to efficiently assemble and test a variety of parts one at a time, or do you need a fast machine where a strobe light is required to visualize the parts as they are being processed? We’ve got you covered!
Lean Processes Before Automation
Analysis of processes, process consistency, and process maturity matter for efficient manufacturing. Before jumping to complex automation, we ensure that basic processes are consistent, and reliable, and that operator work, process cycle times, and pull processes are well defined and balanced. This can not only create significant productivity and quality improvement right off the bat with minimal investment, but can lay the groundwork for intelligent automation that works reliably the first time. Have equipment but need to improve your turnaround times or product quality? Call us to discuss how we can help you!
Manufacturing for Energetics
We have special expertise designing equipment for energetics processing ensuring safety in explosive environments. We have designed equipment that processes explosive materials at high rate that requires carefully controlled energy input to avoid ignition and ensure operator safety, as well as equipment intended to work with explosive vapors and dusts with high speed deluge systems. Class 1, Class 2, Div 1, Div 2? No problem!
Plant Data Networking and Enterprise Dashboards
Understanding your manufacturing process requires data. We have expertise developing plant data networks, and aggregating data from diverse sources into real-time dashboards that enable manufacturing staff to take action to drive improvement and correct deficiencies. Whether its data coming from PLC’s, inspection systems, or direct operator input, data on machine performance and quality metrics can only drive overall effectiveness if its regularly updated and easy to access by supervisors, quality engineers, and manufacturing engineers.
