Science is reduced to practice through engineering, and engineering is reduced down to products.;  DataPlex is involved with both types of transitions, each having its own issues and considerations.

A new science is a laboratory curiosity until a set of development tools are constructed to help take the science into the real world as technology.  DataPlex creates or helps to create those tools.  Existing technologies, when combined with other technologies often require a more extensive set of development tools which are aware of the technologies involved.  For example, when DataPlex some years back combined multiplexed digital servo control with air conditioning (HVAC), the DataPlex-created tools knew how to monitor the pressure of previously independent air flow channels to prevent a fatal explosion.  Tell me more...

DataPlex is experienced at systems optimization and balancing the sometimes significant tradeoffs between different technologies when they are being combined. An example is the integration of hardware and software - hardware is faster and might make a new invention technically feasible, but software is more flexible and less expensive on a per unit manufacturing basis.  DataPlex can find that optimum point where the hardware costs are justified and the supporting software is as flexible as possible.  When done correctly, well-rounded yet reasonably priced products acceptable to the marketplace results.  Tell me more...

It should follow, then, when technologies are combined, the potential for intellectual property (IP) through patents is created.  DataPlex staff help their client realize the potential for their new IP.  Tell me more...
