Satellite Head-End Control
Following the successful introduction of their Digital Satellite Transcoder,  the industry's leading supplier came to Software Concepts to design an application for Remote Control and Administration of the headend system.  SCI produced two versions of the application for them.  The first was a dedicated desktop application for dial-in connections while the other, based on our Micro Web Server™,  is for always-on connections.

Personal PBX System 
Realizing the need for a easy-to-use telephone management system for Home Offices and large residences, Software Concepts developed an entry level PBX system.   Using SCI's High Performance Embedded Kernel  this system packs a lot of features into a small, low cost box.  In the final phases of development, this product will be available later this year through selected dealers.

Home Automation Controllers
Software Concepts has been developing automation control applications for more than two decades.  One of the first commercially available applications was our DOS Home Controller - an MS/DOS based program for control via the X10 interface.  Since then we've developed several other automation applications and soon we'll be debuting our  Micro Web Server™ based home controller.

Color Measuring Instruments
Software Concepts has completed a number of projects for a variety of color measuring instruments including  Colorimeters, Densitometers and Spectrophotometers.  These products have ranged from low cost color sensors to laboratory grade spectrophotometers.  Our expertise in the field of color instrumentation spans two decades, and we've done work for some of the world's leading instrument manufacturers.  Our Color Chip  sensor has been used in numerous applications including sorting, product identification and color QC.

Scanning Instruments
We've developed scanning instruments for several different companies.  Products have included Scanning densitomers, scanning spectrophotometers, Electrophoresis plate scanners, and currency scanners.  These have employed several different motor designs including, stepper, servo, AC and DC drives.

Workcell Robot Controller
When MEGAmation Inc., an innovative workcell robot manufacturer, decided to upgrade its product offering it called upon Software Concepts to architect their new front end.  SCI was responsible for the overall design of the Windows NT based front end as well as the interface to the Cimetrix backend.  The result was an award winning design unequalled in performance or usability.

Point-of-Sale Video Advertising
We've designed several video-based, point-of-sale advertising systems.  These have included both PC based systems as well as embedded system designs.  Our Micro Web Server™ has been used as a controller in Ethernet controlled video display systems used in the retail environment.

Sales Commission Calculator
Although financial applications aren't our forte, we couldn't refuse when SAP America invited us to design a state-of-art commission calculation system for them.  With hundreds of commissioned employees and dozens of compensation plans, their existing system was grossly inadequate - requiring the program to be modified every time a commission plan changed. Software Concepts designed a new application around a custom designed  Calculation Engine that allows plan changes to be made in minutes - without requiring changes to the program.  This has allowed SAP America to change plans more often and thereby increase sales through new incentive programs.

Public Service Web Sites
Near and dear to my heart are two web sites I've developed and continue to maintain for our local community. Our EastAmwell site provides links to local organizations, businesses and events, while our Pack 65 site provides information for the local Cub Scout Troop.  These sites are used as a proving ground for new web applications and utilize state of the art technologies including Active Server Pages, Dynamic Content, and XML.
