IN-HOUSE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES
BDI quickly learned that specialized data acquisition equipment would be required to provide efficient testing and monitoring services. Therefore, we have been engaged in research and development of electronics, firmware, and software since the late 1980s.
The equipment that we have developed and updated over the years include:
+ Structural Testing System: Rugged wireless data acquisition system for load testing
+ Structural Monitoring System: Cost effective monitoring systems ranging from ultra-low power, slow sample speeds to high speed dynamic logging
+ Contract Strain Gage: Fit-for-purpose sensor designs for various project-specific applications
+ Sensors: Custom, rugged sensors that can be used in a lab or the harshest environments
+ SounDAR: Deck Acoustic Response for evaluating large concrete & pavement surfaces
+ Custom Solutions: With our in-house R&D team, we often develop custom solutions for our projects, as well as our clients’ projects
BDI STAFFS A TEAM OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS THAT ARE CHARGED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW PRODUCTS FOR BDI, AS WELL AS CONTINUALLY IMPROVING OUR EXISTING PRODUCTS.
Our team uses many tools for the design, development, and testing of our data acquisition systems and sensors, including:
+ AltiumTM design software for designing and laying out electronic circuit boards
+ LabViewTM development software for programming and testing our testing systems
+ SolidWorksTM software for mechanical design of housings
+ MatLab mathematical function solving software used for many subroutines
+ In-house custom-designed NIST traceable sensor calibrators
+ High-quality digital oscilloscopes, 5-digit voltmeters, and soldering stations
+ Programmable environmental chamber for temperature characterization
To keep quality high, BDI systems and sensors are constantly undergoing updating and refinements and are subject to the following guidelines:
+ NIST traceable calibrations for sensors
+ CE designations for sensors
+ In-house QA/QC program
+ Made in the USA
