Integrating Mechanical Behavior with Intelligent Sensing,
Processing and Control

SDL can help you quickly understand and solve difficult problems related to product or process development and refinement. We reduce development cost, risk and time-to-market, and improve production efficiency and quality. SDL excels at developing a deep understanding of customers' product and process issues, and using this understanding to create innovative and pragmatic solutions that require the tight integration of mechanical systems, electronics, and sensing and actuation systems.

From turnkey systems to troubleshooting of specific issues, SDL has created process solutions for production of steel, aluminum, paper, diapers and feminine care products, and developed product solutions for smart sensors, personal communication systems, advanced flow measurement, engine diagnostics, active hearing protection, and dental care.

SDL has a close-knit group of advanced-degreed associates with diverse backgrounds. Expertise includes:

Recent Case Study

Laboratory Material Test and Process Simulation Machine

SDL recently designed, built and commissioned a state-of-the-art laboratory, material test and process simulation machine for a Fortune 100 consumer products company. The machine provides an order of magnitude increase in acceleration, motion control accuracy and parameter measurement fidelity over current technology. This enables the customer to quickly evaluate material and process behavior and resulting product quality at higher desired line speeds over a range of process parameters including temperature, humidity, production tool geometry, roll diameter, roll gap, alignment tolerances and other factors. Expected savings are in the 10s to 100s of millions of dollars.
