Building Colorado’s Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturing and engineering firms prep for SOCOM 2015

Southern Colorado has a strong foundation in manufacturing, and its potential to further business development is even stronger.

The upcoming Southern Colorado Manufacturing Expo (SOCOM) will exhibit Colorado’s abundant talent in manufacturing, engineering and machining.

SOCOM will display Colorado’s manufacturers and engineers.

It’s time to show both young entrepreneurs and established companies that Colorado has the manufacturers and great engineers to deliver top–quality services.

In the words of IP Automation’s Ken Krassy, featured in the Colorado Springs Business Journal,

Growing businesses need people. And if the Colorado Springs manufacturing sector is going to grow, it needs to seize opportunities for new business and create the kind of environment that attracts professionals from diverse backgrounds.

As a mainstay in US engineering, IP Automation strongly supports this unique business development opportunity for the Colorado Springs region.

Engineering Design Programs and the Self–Driving Car

Top engineering design universities join Toyota for self–driving car robotics research.

The race to develop a self–driving car is one of the tightest among engineering design firms. Competition to recruit leading automation engineers is stiff, and with good reason.  Apple recently confirmed contracting a senior Tesla engineer and at least six other automation product development experts.

Engineering corporations are in the race for self–driving vehicles. Stay tuned for the latest in engineering design with IP Automation.

Toyota is thinking along the same lines as Apple– developing a self–driving car will require some of the best minds in robotics and automation engineering design. The major automotive corporation is collaborating with Stanford and MIT to push engineering development research to the max.

Spending over $50 million over the next five years, Toyota will launch joint engineering research centers at both universities. MIT and Stanford are two of the biggest names in engineering design, and large international corporations frequently recruit from both programs.

Though Toyota insists it has no intentions of building a fully automated car, its engineering design and robotics research with MIT and Stanford will certainly take steps towards the prospect. Self–driving features already exist in a number of vehicles. Lexus premiered self–parking cars in 2007 and Tesla will soon release vehicles capable of automatically changing lanes.

Self–driving features, and soon self–driving cars, are the envy and the goal of automation engineering firms throughout the globe. Keep up to date with automation and robotics product development with engineering design firm IP Automation.

The article relates how Colorado Springs’ manufacturers promote manufacturing capabilities and success stories to grow businesses and create jobs.

Featured in the article is Southern Colorado Manufacturing Expo. The annual event provides opportunities to promote, grow businesses and create jobs. The expo is free and open to the public. For more information please visit Pikes Peak Manufacturing’s webpage.

Engineering firm IP Automation designs and manufactures railroad maintenance equipment for much of the US rail industry. Their railroad equipment involves installation and removal of clips that attach the rails to the railroad ties much easier and more efficient.

The Colorado Springs engineering firm’s product development has created additional manufacturing jobs in the area. IP Automation is a prime example of how manufacturers and engineers boost development for their local economy.

Aerospace Engineering Explores the SpaceLiner

One–hour flights to Europe? New designs in aerospace engineering.

Are space planes the next step in aerospace engineering? TechXplore explores a group of aerospace engineers from Germany designing a product development plan that could dramatically change air travel.

aerospace engineering
With increasing technological innovation, aerospace engineers estimate passenger space travel by the 2040s.

The aeronautical engineering and research facility sees potential to dramatically reduce intercontinental travel time. Responding to the growing demand for faster air travel, The DLR Institute of Space Systems is exploring passenger space travel.

Aerospace engineers estimate a space plane rocket–powered system could reduce travel time from the US to Europe to just one hour. A Europe–Australia flight itinerary could be reduced from a typical twenty hours to ninety minutes.

Just how far away is the engineering community from accomplishing its aeronautical feat? The first phases of concept reviews are scheduled to take place between 2016 and 2020. If funding, product development and fabrication go as planned, we could be seeing space plane tickets for sale in the 2040s.

With new breakthroughs in aerospace engineering every day, IP Automation proudly participates in the engineering community’s unceasing innovation. Our engineering design and capability involves the latest technical solutions for commercial, private, and military aeronautical applications.

Automation Equipment Engineering Design

The video below demonstrates IP Automation’s engineering design services in the fields of automation, product development and custom machining.

It is a video of a product testing machine engineered for Schlage Lock, LLC, a division of Allegion, Inc. The automation equipment was engineered, custom machined and developed by our engineering firm.

The operator interface of the automated equipment consists of a PC with a color touch screen. The PC runs a custom automation application written in Visual Basic.

This automation equipment is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC) running programmed test sequences.

In addition to the PC front end monitoring and controlling test operations, it also creates and debugs test programs.
