Case Studies

DMC worked with an OEM machine builder to program the controls for their 2-axis high-speed flying cutting machine.

DMC's SharePoint consultants delivered an Enterprise Document Management System and Collaboration Portal solution for Zonta International to address their enterprise document management, search, and collaboration needs.

DMC created an automated system to facilitate the planning of one of Zonta International's biggest events, The Governors Orientation, which takes place every two years. This was done while training their SharePoint champion on the creation of workflows.

DMC implemented the Safety logic in an Allen-Bradley safety PLC for an engine casting process for a major automotive OEM.

DMC delivered a low cost, high density Relay Multiplexer Module for a high channel count test application for a client in the performance racing automotive sector.  DMC provided the client with multiple methods for controlling and operating the device, including a soft front panel interface, a library of LabVIEW drivers, and a DLL package of .NET drivers.

DMC developed an encapsulated DLL for sending specific commands to the client's proprietary hardware over the I2C bus. DMC's solution included reference code that shows examples of calls to the API and allows the client's end users to easily develop application interfacing with the proprietary hardware.

DMC was approached to develop an entire driver set and a custom stand-alone application in LabVIEW to interface with a new industrial food and beverage appliance over several different modes of communication. Along with the drivers, driver examples, application and full documentation, DMC delivered a custom installer for XP and Win7 to be shipped with the final product.

Daley Mohan Groble is an established law firm based in Chicago, Illinois that provides a broad range of legal services for public and private clients in the transportation, energy, telecommunication, technology, real estate, construction and manufacturing industries. Daley Mohan Groble asked DMC for assistance with completing the migration of 600,000 files stored on their shared drive to their new Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Content Management platform.

DMC developed an interactive case study exhibit using the Microsoft XNA game studio, Open CV image processing, and a Microsoft Kinect camera. This system recognizes visitors and allows them to access information simply by making totally natural gestures and movements.

DMC was approached by an engine design and development company to create a method of characterizing fuel injectors for research and product development. A critical part of fuel injector performance is accurate timing of the control signals for opening and closing the fuel delivery valve. In this case, injectors are characterized for optimal control timing. Characterization for research and development is performed on a lab benchtop, and this technique would be ultimately required in full production....

Quad Plus, Inc. provides turnkey industrial control systems, solutions, and services. They are recognized in the field as a leader in AC & DC control systems by being an authorized service center for major manufacturers locally, nationally and internationally. As a follow on to the implementation of the Quad Plus SharePoint Time Entry Application for Dynamics AX, DMC implemented Microsoft SharePoint to take advantage of communication and collaboration features, along with Key Performance...

DMC performed motion equipment analysis during the development phase for a high-precision laboritory instrument resulting in optimum selection and enabling automated characterization of each unit.

DMC programmed the controls for a multi-axis therapeutic bed, including coordinated motions, software safety algorithms, and high level engineering functions. For this project DMC provided all of the needed programming, deployment, and on-site testing. DMC also was able to assist in hardware troubleshooting and product life testing.

DMC was approached by a Structural Engineering and Architecture firm to develop a system for remote data acquisition and monitoring. The need was to have accurate collection with automatic triggering and synchronization of data. DMC worked with the client to specify and implement Data Acquisition hardware from National Instruments, and developed and commissioned software to provide critical in-field data for structural assessment and design feedback.
