Department of Energy Honeywell wanted an upgrade to be developed
with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and open- source
software so it could be easily supported and expanded in the future
without having to be completely redesigned Innoventors solution
provides a Host PC (Windows XP) with a touch-panel computer
(Windows CE) for user interfaces All of the software was written

The Team used National Instruments hardware and LabVIEW software to
create the new control system The project exceeded our expectations
with respect to performance and ease of Innoventor also updated the
user interface to use(Innoventor) came up with innovative provide

sought Innoventors expertise in developing test software for a
newanterior eye surgery system The system includes six to 12
modules (including a controller PC), each withdifferent
functionality, all communicating with one another via a
CANcommunications network Innoventor utilized the great synergy of
NIsLabVIEW and TestStand packages, developed arobust software
architecture with rich featuresbringing great value by delivering a

Heavy-equipment Manufacturer Innoventor developed an automated
system for moving mold sections into and out of molding presses
Fourteen presses run a total of 100 different molds; each mold
containing several different sections, or drawers The system uses
hydraulic cylinders with electromagnetic end affecters to allow the
operator to move the drawers into the press, as well as, remove the
drawers at the push of a button The hydraulic cylinders are
vertically adjustable and designed to accommodate more than 100
different molds The system uses electromagnets to attach all of the
different drawer types, minimizing the modifications made to the
mold drawers 3600 Rider Trail South A Top 50 Company

Handling System Innoventor developed an automated handling system
for a cleaning process using hydrofluoric acid, a substance that is
very hazardous to human health The previous cleaning process
required the manual placement of material into a bath of
hydrofluoric acid and a health risk The new system:- Consists of a
2-axis configuration that moves the basket in and out of the
hydrofluoric baths and rinse tank -Required the chemical
compatibility ofthe materials used in the handlingsystem -Used
PVDF(Kynarr) plastic for the gripperdue to its excellent chemical

developed a solution for the complete redesign of an existing

packaging for a new line of digital video recorders for use in the
surveillance and security industry The box design had to maintain
certain existing components and commonality while allowing for the
use of Hot Swap hard drives that could be used in 2 different style
of boxes (A 4 channel unit and a 16 channel unit) The outer
enclosures and internal structures were designed and packaged to
securely house all components and allow adequate access for service
while minimizing production costs Numerous tang-in-slot type self
