Electronic Edge Design

• Take a concept or problem and develop a solution to match your requirements.
• Develop multiple solutions for you to decide upon the most favourable.

If you have a problem to solve or an end goal but no idea how to get there, EEDge can take your problem and develop a solution or if required mutiple possible solutions. We can draw on our wide range of knowledge and experience to form a plan of how to solve the problem; be it with a custom designed product or by utilizing existing technology and combining it into a functional system.

Where multiple solutions are required for your team to choose from, EEDge can produce the necessary detail to empower your team to make an informed decision.

Using advanced 3D modelling in Autodesk Inventor® we can let you see the product, system or even fully equipped building in 3D. Giving you a real appreciation of how the final solution will look and fit in its environment.

From the 3D models we can produce animations of parts moving, spinning and interacting. These are extremely powerful tools for giving presentations and influencing people who may not have the knowledge or time to fully understand the product in as much depth as you do. As the proverb says, 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. Seeing the product or solution can make the difference when influencing a client or management.

• Produce a 3D model
• Design to relevant standards
• 2D manufacturing drawings
• Manufacture Parts
• Assemble prototype
• Carry out relavant testing
• Obatin required certification eg. EMC testing
• Mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control and electronic system design

Electronic Edge Design (EEDge) can develop your idea into a fully functioning product. EEDge can work from any starting point be it a simple idea or goal to modifying an already existing product. See more details in our prototype design and product development section.

• Robotic arms
• Manipulators
• Force Feedback
• Human-like Response & Accuracy

EEDge's aim is to make responsive human like manipulators for the subsea and nuclear decommissioning markets. The final goal of complete system is making remote manipulators which can touch type and juggle, although the commercial markets for these applications may be limited! It would bring a new meaning to the phrase 'working from home' if you operated an ROV/robot which was sat at your work desk typing on a computer. Probably slight overkill on the work from home concept!

• Visual Studio
• Visual C#, C++, C
• Directshow Development
• Visual Basic
• Windows Vista, XP, CE
• Database development with SQL and MySQL
• Web interfaces with PHP
• Frontend user interfaces

Software is a program which runs on a computer. EEDge designs custom software to solve your companies problem, be it a display and data logging of an instrumentation and control system or multichannel video display and recording software. See more details in our software design and firmware development section.

• 3D Design with Autodesk Inventor®
• 3D Simulation of Your Product or System
• Create Photograph Quality Images and Video
• See Your Product or System Fully Assembled

EEDge can design your product in 3D. Enabling you to view your product fully assembled, even in it's native environment.

• Subsea System Design
• Subsea Instrumentation
• New ROV User Interface

Having recently completed the ROV Inspection and Event Logging Software & Hardware for Digital Edge Subsea, EEDge are working on a revolutionary new ROV interface. Multiple operators for ROV and manipulators will be a thing of the past.

A single operator will have complete control over flying the ROV and operating two manipulators simultaneously. In small ROV's this will be a complete diver replacement or Diver Replacement Vehicle (DRV) as we prefer to call it. The DRV will have the manovourbility, dexterity, speed and accuracy of a diver, but with depth capability, human safety and reduced overhead of an ROV.

• Develop Solutions to Real World Problems

EEDges real passion is in developing new cutting edge technology. Working on projects in industry constantly highlights real world problems and areas where great improvements could be made. With this unique insight and experience that traditional research institutions lack, we can focus our attention on products which industry really need.

EEDge plans to secure funding to carry out research and development projects in cutting edge technology, leading to commercially viable products which we will manufacture and distribute. Initial product research and development will aim at new systems for remote operated vehicles (ROVs) for the military, subsea, oil, gas and nuclear decommissioning markets.

As the search for oil and gas goes deeper and more remote the demand for systems which can operate in these environments can only increase. However with the costs of deploying boats for ROV systems ranging from £20,000 to £250,000 per day, there is great opportunity to save vast quantities of money by improving the speed and efficiency subsea tasks are carried out.
