Recent Projects
Production Engine Control Module (ECM) End of Line Tester
Tier 1 Heavy-Machinery Supplier required a comprehensive end-of-line tester for their Engine Control Module (ECM) production line. Over 1,000 custom tests needed to be developed with each step requiring unique ECM control & waveform analysis.
Automated Robotic Inspection Cell for Medical Grade products
Medical customer required higher throughput & reliability of their current manual part inspections on several custom product lines.
Non-invasive compressed air metering
Siemens Energy required a comprehensive process measurement system to acquire compressed air flow rates on two 8” supply lines at an automotive OEM.
IOT prototype snowfall sensors for major distributor
Customer required automated snowfall measurements to be acquired within extremely low-temperature outdoor environments (-40C). No off-the-shelf solutions existed for this application.
Machine tending automation cell
Northwestern Michigan College’s Industry 4.0 Laboratory required full integration of a UR10e robot and Haas Mill to complete their machine tending automation cell.
Synchronized flexible modular conveyor
A local food & beverage manufacturer required a flexible, modular conveyor to synchronously on-load and off-load product.
Thermal vision inspection system
An existing electromechanical automotive test system required specialized thermal vision integration and communication software upgrades.
Extrusion machine build-to-print panel
A local extrusion machine company with a global footprint required three build-to-print panels within three weeks of project kickoff.
Thermal chamber performance tester
Commercial grade thermal insulation testing was required for production batches of customer containers (100% Inspection). Designed & developed system capable of testing seven units simultaneously.
High voltage coolant heater inspection
An automotive manufacturer required a quality inspection end-of-line tester for their high-voltage coolant heater production assembly line.
Palletizer control system
A palletizer control system required complete facility removal due to obsolete controls.
R&D thermal chamber performance tester
Manual R&D testing of thermal chambers resulted in significant post-processing of data, the potential for inconsistency in data or test setup, and required waiting several days for performance results.
Production conveyor control system
Four bottling production line conveyor control systems were over 30 years old and reliant on obsolete control hardware, which hindered operational productivity.
Custom industrial production oven
An in-line industrial oven would not fit within new facility footprint requirements, requiring the 60’ linear oven to be reduced to a 7’x7’ footprint.
Pump pallet control systems
Six pump pallet electrical control panels were required within 3 months of project kick-off with upgraded design.
Machine utility measurement system
A non-invasive solution for capturing compressed airflow and cooling water flow into large machinery to validate adequate supply at final location.
SIPA machine data acquisition & analytics software
Large-scale process optimization was required on a SIPA extrusion blow molding production line.
In-line bottle wall thickness measurement system
End Customer would no longer accept product (bottles) unless 100% inspection was performed on every bottle at critical wall thickness locations.
Military automated frequency sweep program
Frequency sweep testing of military-grade bunkers required 2 weeks of manual testing. Novum reduced this to 2 days with automation.
Medical CAM durability test stand
Durability testing of medical-grade clamps required arduous days of manual operation. Customer needed an automated solution within 2 months.
