  1. End-to-End Professional Engineering Services

  2. ICI produces Concepts from Client Requirements. ICI delivers Functional Prototype Hardware from Concepts. ICI has delivered prototype hardware solutions for 30 Years to Industry and Government. Delivering Critical Innovative Technology Prototype Solutions Timely…Cost Effective…Practical…Functional

  3. Company History – Evolved from federally regulated sectors: Nuclear Power, Cryogenics, Pressure Vessels, Waste Water Treatment. • DOD Small Business programs were the enabler for ICI. • CRADA. • Mentor Protégé.

  4. ICI Success Stories Hardware Integration Module (HIM) and Robots Military project Problem A developer invented a new type of software based communications tool that would allow different electronically controlled devices, such as manufacturing robots, autonomous vehicles, cell phones, CNC machine etc. to quickly and easily communicate with each other, regardless of their operating systems or manufacturers. The software had the potential to be revolutionary for military and commercial applications, however there was a problem. The software needed hardware to run on, and although it could potentially run on a PC, it would be too costly and inefficient to be a practical solution for use in equipment where issues such as weight and power use are critical (e.g. portable devices, UAVs, robots etc) . What the customer really needed was some sort of specialized ‘stand alone’ interfacing hardware or infrastructure in order to couple their virtual software with the electronics of prospective equipment. Since the product had the potential to be used in extreme and complex environments, the need for testing was crucial to its success. In order to accomplish this, a real world simulation would be required to replicate the necessary conditions. The option to use this simulation for demonstration purposes to prospective clients would be an added benefit. Need The customer needed extensive resources involving staff (engineers drafters, programmers etc), equipment (PC’s, software, rapid prototype, CAM etc) and offsite support facilities. An additional support network of consultants, contractors, etc. was available on call to provide ‘as needed’ temporary support. A communications link utilizing webcams and conferencing hardware would be used to hold virtual meetings and observe demonstrations with the customer’s Canada based facilities. Solutions and Deliverables • Several Hardware Interface Modules and demo robots were built. • A large tent with a wooden stage were constructed for testing.

  7. DOD Small Business Programs Mentor Protégé, CRADA, SBIR/STTR, IR&D Incentivisation Program for Innovative Small Business Jobs Creation • Encourage Small and Large Businesses that are creating innovative value together to easily obtain incentivized development funding at critical junctures for the success of “Programs of Interest” to Department of Defense requirements. • ‘Zero-sum gain’ funding. Current Small Business Associations (As interpreted by the Defense Industry) Proposed Small Business Associations (specifically delineated language)
