Solving technical problems in the world most consider unsolvable
We evolve. Markets change. Global catastrophes loom aplenty.
Time to make a difference.
Every innovation program needs a champion who sees though the tangle
We live in a world of sub-sub-specialists, where even relatively simple projects require sizable teams. Often, what that team needs most to perform best is an accomplished generalist who thrives in the undefined, to visualize & chart courses beyond technical uncertainty.
Frankly, the more complex the challenge, the more disciplines to unite, the more we love it.
Automated data to physical part workflows
Definition through execution of complex multidisciplinary challenges
BEAM, a knowledge based engineering (KBE) system, has improved proton cancer treatment for tens of thousands. It’s a total workflow automation of design, tool-path generation, Q/A documentation, and shop scheduling, to enable a single machinist to produce 60 unique sets of patient specific hardware a day. BEAM reduces time to treatment from weeks to minutes, while delivering 80% cost savings, and a six month ROI.

multi-touch camera interface
Where digital and physical intersect
Muti-touch control of digital devices is so 2006, but for a multi-spectral search and rescue camera system with gears and motors? Developing this industry-first meant mapping digital motions into physical actions. That is, of course, impossible, the latency is a nightmare akin to animation’s uncanny valley. But, with the right algorithms the gestures you use every day can remain both intuitive and effective.

In a case of management consulting meets Restaurant Impossible, six consultants had eight hours to find and illuminate operational gaps across nine core business functions of local manufacturing firms. This program proved a fantastic education to clients and consultants alike.
Plus, we redesigned the team’s internal workflow and report, were the resulting savings allowed a dozen additional companies to benefit from the grant.
