Smart home, for dogs!
A California-based dog daycare business wanted to create "premium daycare" segment. The idea was to enable remote interactions (e.g. feed, speak, entertain) between owners and dogs within the daycare over mobile phone.
We worked with customer's 3D-printed enclosure and engineered a system consisting of edge-computers, sensors, actuators, web and mobile apps.
Customer created a rare, unique and unparalled premium-segment dog daycare business. It helped them differentiate and create a new revenue stream.
AI based proof-of-dispatch
A California-based 3rd party logistics provider needed to match shipment tracking numbers, with customer's fulfillment order and send picture of the package along with shipping label as proof-of-dispatch.The image needed to be from the conveyor.
We built a custom crane with AI computer on-the-edge (Nvidia) and other industrial electronics. The system used computer vision for all matching and API-based reporting.
Each fulfilment order, matched with the shipping lable along with image of the package being shipped. Proof-of-dispatch updated in central system via API. No manual accounting!
Handheld medical device
A Florida,USA based startup needed idea-to-prototype plan within 2 weeks for a set of handheld medical devices used for finger arthirits treatment.This was required to create the funding pitch document with budget and timelines.
We conceptualized device design, defined calibration methods, custom jig designs and created a complete build plan. We also supported them in writing funding document.
A complete and comprehensive approach document that defined how to go from concept-to-prototype within 2 weeks.
Custom iOS driver
A Florida based manufacturer of portable audio DAC equipments was struggling for an year to create a driver for their audio DACs on Apple tablets.
We studied their current device and firmware stack. We conducted R&D and eliminated various approaches before finding a solution that did not require any special entitlements or approvals from Apple Appstore team.
In 4 months we were able to create a custom iOS driver that connects and communicates with their DAC.
Helmet cleaner
Customer is a startup based in India.They were looking to design an ultra-cheap helmet cleaning machine for franchisee-based business.
We found innovative ways to build a prototype that can be cheaply mass-produced.We built the entire system from ground-up to cut input costs. We did ensure it still looks good!
The prototype when mass produced (in batches of 10) exceeds customer's expectations on input costs.
Bluetooth retrofit lock
Customer was looking to design and build a bluetooth-based locking mechanism that can be retrofit into existing keypad/RFID based electronic locks.
We worked on the electronic board that can be added to existing relay-based lock systems. We also created the mobile app and the web app for command and control. Deployment was on Google cloud.
The hardware, mobile app and web app were all completed in 5 months. The first, small-batch was delivered within 5 months.
