Bluetooth EEG Brainwave Device Development

DMC joined this project as the client was transitioning from an experimental stage of product development closer to launch preparation. DMC assisted in EEG development by refining the electronics and aided in overall product development. The device consists of Bluetooth headset designed to measure EEG brain waves. The headset is accompanied by a mobile application which features…
End-of-Line Tester for a Wireless Lockbox Controller

The EOL tester is designed to verify the integrity and functionality of the Wireless Lockbox Controller before it leaves the production line. The system consists of a bed-of-nails (BON) test fixture that makes electrical contact with key test points on the DUT. Once the DUT is placed into the fixture, the test sequence begins at…
Amazon Sidewalk Evaluation Board

DMC’s custom evaluation board combines the Quectel KG100S module, GPS, and multiple sensors, along with storage and interface expansions, into a single compact platform. The firmware leverages standard Amazon Sidewalk examples for sub-GHz connectivity, augmented by DMC’s custom drivers for sensor acquisition, GPS data parsing, and data compression. Provisioning each device securely registers it…
Custom Microsoft SharePoint Implementation

Assessment and Planning To begin designing a solution for the client, DMC met with key stakeholders to learn about the various departments and their functions. After understanding the client’s business model, DMC worked with each department head to determine what combination of Microsoft solutions was needed. This holistic approach allowed DMC to leverage Microsoft technology…
S88 Batch Architecture Implementation Using PCS7

After undertaking a large facility upgrade and expansion project, the client wanted to ramp up their new production capacity but was being held back by a poorly implemented DCS system. The client engaged DMC to first clean up the existing system and make it immediately more usable and reliable and then to rewrite the system…
Digitizing Scheduling Workflow with Microsoft SharePoint

The client’s original scheduling workflow was handled manually using a series of printed documents. This process included logging samples, creating physical project folders for technical sheets, delivering project folders to lab management, assigning projects, returning worksheets to lab management, scanning worksheets, creating client reports, and creating email reports. DMC digitized this process by creating SharePoint lists for each sample the client…
Glue Inspection Vision System For Packaging Industry

DMC specified machine vision hardware and programmed a custom real-time application to perform high-speed inspection of complex folding cartons. Folding cartons for products like beverage carriers often require many folds, flaps, and complicated glue patterns. The cost of an improperly folded or glued carton can be high since the cartons are filled with bottles by…
SCADA System for Battery Cell and Module Line

DMC designed, developed, commissioned, and supported the SCADA system for a battery cell and module line. The main functionalities of the system include: Figure 1-weld review. Shows a high-level view of which cells in the module have failed. Allows the user to click on a cell to get more information. DMC joined the project during…
Autonomous Floating and Underwater Robotic Platform

DMC’s comprehensive approach included the full implementation of the hardware, firmware, and PC application design. By integrating a solar panel and employing efficient power management strategies, the robot can maintain extended battery life, reducing the frequency of manual recharging. A high-performance MCU and IMU established a robust foundation for orientation tracking. In addition to IMU…
Supporting Industry Innovation with PXI Switching and Simulation Systems

Leveraging over 15 years of partnership, DMC and Pickering collaboratively architected an innovative switching solution tailored to meet the unique and demanding requirements of the end customer. With Pickering’s extensive range of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) high performance switches and their proven expertise in customizing standard products, we were able to deliver a solution that fully addressed our…
