 As
our history page
indicates, we have engineered a plethora of products
over the years that Thomas
Instrumentation has been in business. We are
confident we can engineer whatever product
you have in mind, for whatever industry you are
targeting. We are also here for
you to collaborate on ideas with, and suggest
improvements as necessary. We can help you to
look at the
future of your product and work with you to avoid
potential problems. You will have our company’s
extensive experience made completely available
to you.
Our Engineering and Design people have
worked with companies of all sizes, including
companies run by one person to businesses with
hundreds of employees. There is no company too
small or too big to do business with.
It
only
takes one good idea to get going.
Some of the
types of products we have worked on include (but
aren’t limited to) the
following: diesel fuel level sensing equipment
for locomotives, customized microcontrollers
for a range of industries, drop towers to measure
the break point of safety glass, automated
watering systems for green houses, fiber optic
timing systems for water slides, go-cart racing
and timing systems, and custom displays and
user interfaces. We have dealt with smart card
readers and swipe readers, and have designed
products around the use of them. We have worked
on products with the ability to communicate
with PDAs to make them more user-friendly,
or convenient. We were involved in the conceptual
design as well as the electronics of a Low
Pressure Dryer for the plastic industry. The
list goes on. We are always anxious to try
something new or innovating.
The custom microcontroller based products
we have designed have been for a wide variety
of uses. We can design a product around any customer's
specifications or make suggestions for improvements
to an already existing product. This includes
things like firmware upgradeability, future expansion
capabilities (extra inputs
/ outputs etc…), designing around availability
and price of parts, or simply a “better
way” to do something.
We have worked with
companies to re-engineer products that have
already been in production
(not necessarily our original work). This process
allows changes to be made to increase functionality,
convert through-hole designs to surface mount
designs, change parts to make the product cheaper
to manufacture or the parts easier to obtain,
increase efficiency, reduce heat, reduce overall
size, increase reliability, add protection
circuitry for a problematic area, create redundant
circuitry, and adding “test circuitry” to
aid in testing and troubleshooting. Of course,
we can make pretty much any change you could
want.
