We build the parts, and the systems inside them.

Some customers need more than metal. We wire, program and help develop complete products: mechanical design, electrical integration, controls and software, all on the same floor that builds the hardware.

MECHANICAL

Design & DFM

SolidWorks modeling, design for manufacturing, prototypes, fixtures and custom tooling.

ELECTRICAL

Wiring & integration

Wiring, harnesses, enclosures, power systems and electrical integration of your assemblies.

CONTROLS

PLCs & HMIs

PLC programming, touchscreen HMIs, sensors, actuators, motion and safety interlocks.

SOFTWARE

Embedded & tools

Microcontroller firmware and software in C++ and Python, from embedded control to shop automation.

We're glad to take on R&D or help develop a complex system with your team, from a first prototype to a product we build for you in production.

Solar Sentinel.

A two-axis solar tracker we designed and built to follow the sun and squeeze more power from every panel. It brings together everything we do: fabrication, motion, electronics and code.

  • Two-panel array: about ±90° azimuth and 0–70° elevation
  • Linear actuators for elevation and folding; slew-drive azimuth
  • PLC control with a touchscreen HMI and a Raspberry Pi
  • GPS, compass and gyro sensing; manual and automatic modes with safety interlocks
  • 48 V LiFePO4 battery system with MPPT charge control
