CompuDAS Control, Monitoring & Data Acquisition Systems provide trusted solutions for materials research & development laboratories for NASA to NASCAR.  Our control systems are perfect whether you’re updating, upgrading or replacing controls in an Autoclave, Ovens, Furnace or Press.

Materials research and development requires exact records so that changes in your recipe can be related to product performance. CompuDAS’ R & D customers have some of the most stringent needs for exact, tamper-proof records, and our Control Systems deliver.  As you make changes to time, temperature, pressure and other parameters a CompuDAS Control System will give you exact records of everything you need to know.  When R&D progresses to testing and quality assurance, it is crucial to relate each batch back to its conditions of manufacture.  Our Control Systems do this seamlessly for each product you develop.

Are CompuDAS Control Systems up to the stringent data measurement needs of R&D?

During development, you will want to monitor and control every variation on temperature, pressure, and timings.  If testing shows flaws or weaknesses, you will alter the recipe and try again. At every step of the way, a CompuDAS Control System will allow you to control compounding variables like temperature, vacuum, and pressure fluctuation.  You will have consistent, reliable data allowing you to focus testing and ongoing R & D cycles on what you really care about.  R&D is costly- you shouldn’t be worried about whether a part failed testing because of its design or the process.  With an integrated CompuDAS Control System, whether for autoclave(s), oven(s), furnace(s), or hydraulic press(es), you know the exact parameters of the manufacture process the first time and every time.

We aren’t normally an R&D shop, but are working on new products, can CompuDAS help?

Yes! A Control System for your shop doesn’t need to be specifically designed for ongoing materials research and development. Of course, as you work out the kinks in any new product manufacture, you’ll need accurate measurements.  As you test and tweak, it will be crucial for each round of testing that you know the exact conditions each batch was subject to.  Although you may not have an ongoing need to tweak your system, the same monitoring capabilities of your CompuDAS Control System will later support your standardized process.  When R&D is complete, after testing is concluded and the recipe(s) for your new product stabilize, your Control System’s major value to your shop simply shifts seamlessly from tracking intentional changes to ensuring the highest possible consistency.  An integrated Control and Monitoring System ensure that change, when intended, is exact.  The same system ensures that consistency, once a recipe is final, is maintained to the highest degree possible for your system.

How do I get more information?

Each install of a CompuDAS Control System is a unique process. Materials research and development can add additional layers of complexity. Call or email us so that we can get the information necessary to discuss how we may meet your exact needs.  We’ll go over your products, shop(s) layout, exact machines for control systems, and your specific R & D or product development needs.
