What do we do?
We help clients solve technical problems. Most are just too busy and need help in maintaining schedules. Some need technical assistance with new or unfamiliar technology and a few have special requirements that we can meet.
How do we do it?
We listen as clients describe their problem, the items of importance and the time available. Together, we identify what needs done, set priorities, discuss costs and agree on how to proceed.
ANATOMY OF A PROJECT
Example: Need for a new agricultural implement to inject liquid polymer into turf grass
1: Study, Brainstorm Ideas and Concepts
2: Investigate Design Alternatives
3: Detailed Design
Finite Element Analysis of Roller Assembly
Create engineering drawings
4: Prototype Build
5: Long term durability test
6: Testing of Prototype Machine
In solving engineering problems, what we do and how we do it, generally follows a logical sequence from generation of ideas through design and testing prototypes. The process is illustrated by this product desing project.
