Systems Architecture – Our Experts architect systems including selecting the proper collection of hardware and software components such as combinations of computers, real-time operating systems, data collection hardware, controllers, network components for communication, data bases and reporting.
Systems Integration – Our consultants are knowledgeable in all stages of merging hardware and software to form custom solutions. Tasks such as requirement gathering and quotation, system design, component selection and software architecture are often complex and involved processes where our technical expertise is indispensable.
Assistance in Product Life Cycles – Dylan Engineering Services has proven to play an integral role in all life cycle stages of project and product development. If engaged during the early stages of development, Dylan Engineering Services is a constructive resource in system design, proof of concept, rapid prototyping and research and development, with the goal of accelerating concept to market timelines. Brought on board in later product life cycles, Dylan Engineering Services will complement the design team already in place by providing expertise in manufacturing, return/defect isolation, failure cause analysis, mass field deployment, centralized server collection, monitoring, and reporting. Even close to product roll out, Dylan Engineering Services will skillfully accommodate needs in tech support, bug tracking, feature additions, product evolution and version control.
Major Fields of Expertise – Dylan Engineering Services demonstrates considerable test and automation proficiency by solving unique application challenges in a wide variety of industries. This industry crossover experience continually supplies Dylan Engineering Services with an ever increasing tool box of creative and cutting edge solutions that support work in their core fields of expertise.
- Test Automation – Software and DAQ hardware that gathers data and analyzes results from components, processes or systems, typically with input stimulus.
- Automated Manufacturing – Controlling machines that build and test parts, including visual inspections and automated assembly.
- Systems Controls – Controlling critical processes like power generation plants, stand-alone machinery and industrial processes historically dominated by the PLC market. Modern systems require increasingly higher functionality; more results with less hardware.
- Product Development/Deployment – Firmware and Software of deployed products, centralized data collection, and analysis of field data.
Supporting Technologies – In support of our core fields of expertise, Dylan Engineering Services employs the knowledge of all common sensor and instrumentation manufacturers and vendors along with many uncommon or specialty products as well. Dylan Engineering Services has developed drivers (communications protocols) for instrumentation and custom hardware as a means to serve part of larger applications. Pre-existing hardware drivers are never a requirement for any custom application as the creation of needed drivers is simply a part of the project. Experience working with every major instrument sensor manufacturer gives Dylan Engineering Services access to a wide range of professionals and specialists who can assist with unique elements of projects as necessary.
Standards Testing – Standards often govern how a test is performed and more importantly they define stringent documentation procedures that are often more involved than the actual software development process. Dylan Engineering Services has experience with all of the common testing bodies including FDA, CE, UL, NIST, ASTM, DOD, and various MIL-SPEC’s.
