Precision in every motion, excellence in every solution

We help providers of linear motion solutions to create high-performance, energy-efficient, reliable, safe and cost-efficient products by providing complete know-how and software engineering capabilities for timely, reliable & cost-efficient development of these products.

Solutions

Digital platform for linear motion products

This digital platform has been designed to help engineers develop motion, robotic and automation systems that offer far greater levels of intelligence, connectivity and adaptability than are achievable from existing equipment.  

  • Integrated digital control, sensor and communication technologies
  • Twin CPU controller with onboard software and electronics
  • Range of sensors can be integrated
  • Can be used in various applications

As a result, it will be possible to improve productivity, reliability, safety and functionality, providing a future-proof option that is compliant with i4.0, smart factories and the Internet of things (IoT).

Software for managing linear systems and lifting columns

These products enable fast movement along the horizontal and vertical axis and precise positioning to increase productivity and save costs. The stability and reactivity of the system guarantee a high level of output quality. The slidekit comes with fully integrated software and is plug-and-play.

  • Sensors and edge software extend the robot's operating range
  • Easy-to-install plug-and-play systems
  • High reliability
  • High safety
  • Easy maintenance
  • Defined and prioritized business objectives during project initiation
  • Scoped and created an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) roadmap with estimation
  • Implemented reporting mechanisms
  • Adopted a modular design (clean architecture)
  • Embraced BDD/TDD (Behavior-Driven Development / Test-Driven Development)
  • Implemented CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment)

Plug-ins for the integration of linear motion products with robots

Plug-ins for the integration of products that enable movement along the horizontal and vertical axis with the software for managing collaborative robots.

We created plug-ins for most of the global manufacturers of collaborative robots:

  • Universal Robots
  • FANUC
  • Yaskawa

Testbench development for motor controller

The testbench is designed to provide rigorous testing and validation for motor controllers, ensuring their reliability and performance.

Use Cases Covered:

  • End-of-Line Assembly Testing: Validates motor controllers before shipping to customers.
  • Product Validation Testing: Comprehensive evaluation of motor controller performance.
  • Software and Electronics Testing: Verifies code and electronic components.
  • Continuous Integration Testing: Ensures stability with frequent code integrations

Benefits: Offers a comprehensive solution for ensuring the quality, functionality, and adherence to standards of motor controllers during development and manufacturing.

Problems
