I still find it hard to believe that our small company is asked to do
such hard stuff for so many large ( billion dollar sized ) and
obviously capable clients, but our experience shows why. They have
experts, yes, but those experts are usually committed to long range
projects. When a new requirement comes up, it can take years of
time and commitments of millions of dollars if in-house staff is
used.

Water Timer
|
 |
This is a new water timer. It has
a unique RF remote control device.
The device is an economically priced
remote-controlled water timer making it an affordable accessory for
the maintenance contractor and for the homeowner who is looking for
more flexibility in a controller.
With the touch of a button, you can easily activate your controller
from distances up to 600 feet.
This sleek, two-button design allows start/stop and
station advance. In addition, this easy to use remote accepts two
unique codes- one for the homeowner, and one for the maintenance
contractor. This allows the contractor to operate any sprinkler system
with a single remote unique to only their customers.
This dial-based, three-program controller has independent water
budgeting by program and long station timing for drip and
micro-irrigation applications.

128-channel
Fault-tolerant RS-232 switches dial-up connections between Internet
servers and connects 32, 64, 96, or 128 modems to ISA-bus
computers. Modems can be switched between computers with a flick of a
switch.
We've designed hundreds of systems, from missile test systems to
large lighting controllers for Reunion arena in Dallas. |

We've have done many projects for agencies that won't let us
tell you their names. So don't ask.
We were also the very first company to get the coveted C2 rating
for our TriSpan Security Systems for DOS and Windows PC's by the
National Security Agency. We have held facilities Secret

electricity as regular ovens. They can be big energy savers when
compared to ranges. Because they cook efficiently in much less time,
less electricity is needed to produce meals or snacks, or to heat
leftovers.
