World-Class Measurement and Automation Solutions
Our business is state-of-the-art data acquisition, data analysis, instrument communications, process control/SCADA, motion control, and machine vision systems based on industry-standard hardware and software products.

We offer world-class measurement and automation solutions through:

	Professional Software Development Services We are a professional developer of custom application software for measurement and automation solutions. We specialise in scientific and engineering applications involving data acquisition, data analysis, instrument communications, process control/SCADA, motion control, and machine vision. They can be large or small, and stand-alone or integrated with industry-standard network, communications, and database environments. We have over 15 years experience developing software applications for major international and national engineering and technical companies, tertiary institutions, and scientific organisations. For more details see our Client Base and Range of Work. We have created award-winning applications for large and small companies across Australia. Our programmers have a unique mix of measurement expertise and software engineering skills. They have qualifications in core science and engineering disciplines and understand the processes of measurement and automation, and what you are trying to do. But they also have computer and software engineering skills, and follow industry-standard practices for designing and developing quality code. We develop robust applications that are cost effective to maintain and upgrade over their projected lifetime. We are a member of National Instruments worldwide Alliance Member program: your guarantee that we have the resources and expertise to deliver high-quality solutions.

Range of Work

	Range of Custom Software Applications Our applications for clients range from small stand-alone datalogging systems for a few channels of data, to large-scale measurement and automation systems that combine high-channel count data acquisition, complex instrument communications, real-time data analysis, and remote monitoring and control over networks or the internet. We can supply a complete turnkey system with off-the-shelf hardware, or work with your existing hardware to integrate data from different sources into a single application software interface. We have particular expertise in working with mixed I/O systems that include combinations of: Voltage and current transducers (accelerometers, encoders, flow, frequency, load cells, LVDTs, pressure, RTDs, strain gauges, thermocouples etc), at sample rates from 1 sample/hr and slower, to Gsamples/s. Instruments or devices that communicate via RS-232, RS-485, USB, GPIB/IEEE.488, TCP/IP, and other industry-standard protocols. Industry standard PLCs and RTUs. Modular instrumentation architectures such as PXI, VXI, and VME. Multi-axis motion control of servo- and stepper-motor drive systems. Standard and non-standard analog video sources, digital line scan cameras, and digital area scan cameras. Industrial network interfaces including TCP/IP, CAN, DeviceNet, ProfiBus and Foundation FieldBus.
	Range of Projects Our projects for engineering, manufacturing, mining, and public institutional clients have involved diverse applications in: Accoustics and vibration Bio-medical research Engineering and science education Environmental monitoring Laboratoty automation Management and visualisation of engineering data Manufacturing test Monitoring/control of hazardous or inaccessible areas OEM instrumentation Process monitoring and control Prototyping of engineering/automation systems Rail condition monitoring ROV control Signal analysis Sports science
