Our Services

 

Dynamic control and automation can provide turn-key fully automated, semi-automated, or non-automated equipment for the following:

  • Fastener Installation

  • Automated Dispensing Processes

  • Packaging processes

  • Inspection processes

  • Robotic Machine Tending

  • Robotic Assembly processes

  • Machine Vision Inspection

  • Assembly Aids (pick-to-light systems and fixturing)

To increase our capacity and reduce our lead time substantially, Dynamic has partnered with Jacksonville Precision Manufacturing. We share the same building which allows us to work closely and quickly together during the fabrication stage of the projects.

 

Project Flow

Our process after initial site visit/meeting:

1. ROM:  The first step is preparation of a “ROM” (Rough Order of Magnitude) for the client.  The ROM will include an outline of the concept being put forward, an approximate timeline, and budgetary information.  The ROM provides a basis for discussion regarding the project and helps to clarify the project scope and expectations. 

2. Proposal:  The proposal is generated after the ROM has been discussed and iterated as necessary.  The proposal provides detailed information about the project under consideration and delineates what is in (or out of) scope, and the needs of the client and Dynamic Control and Automation for successful and timely completion of the project.

3. Quotation:  If a proposal is accepted, a quotation is provided. The quotation is primarily a finance/accounting document and will always reference a proposal (which is primarily an engineering/technical document).

4. Receipt of Deposit/Project Kick Off

5. URS:  A User Requirements Specification is the first step in the detailed design of any system.  It provides clarification on the needs of the client (such as safety, facilities/utilities, data collection, inspection/measurement methods, operator interfaces etc..), This document also clarifies information and/or materials that will be needed from the client by Dynamic Control and Automation.

6. Design: After the URS if finalized and approved, the design of the mechanical architecture is started, followed by the electrical and controls architecture.   One of the most important components of the design process is technical risk “burn-down”.   All known technical risks are documented in the URS.  These items are addressed early in the design process using quickly fabricated and assembled prototype subsystems (often 3D printed).  The design process is punctuated by either online or in-person reviews with the client.  When the design is developed to the point that the client and Dynamic Control and Automation are satisfied that the project will meet the requirements of the URS, the design is considered “frozen”. 

7. Fabrication: After design freeze, the project advanced to the “Fabrication” phase.  Being almost completely vertically integrated means custom fabricated components can start being made immediately and our internal machinists are already familiar with the project and what needs to be done.

8. Development of Test Bed: After mechanical design freeze, we assembly a crude prototype of the machine to allow for software development to begin in parallel with the fabrication and assembly process.  The goal is once the machine is assembled, a bulk of the software work is complete, this test bed allows the software engineers to develop and test the code.

9. Assembly: As we receive parts from fabrication and from our distributors, the machine begins to physically come together.

10. Test: After the machine is together, it is exercise, debugged and validated against internal validation documents.

11. Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): The client comes to Dynamic’s facility to evaluate and exercise the machine. This consists of performing a series of tests on the machine and verifying the machine meets all of the requirements on the URS.

12. Final Cleanup: After getting some hands on time with the machine, typically there are a few small changes the clients would like to make. These are handled during this phase prior to shipping.

12: Delivery: The machine is delivered and moved into position at the clients factory.

13. Sit Acceptance Test (SAT): This is similar to the FAT, but performed at the clients facility with the support of Dynamic’s engineers on site. During the SAT Dynamic supports training of operators, technicians, maintenance and engineers.
