TMAC Metroplex strives to be a credible and impartial resource to our customers in the realm of manufacturing technology. Our mission is to identify opportunities where our clients can enhance their operations through the strategic use of technology.
Our Technology Services
Requirements Generation / Pre-FEED Project Support
Develop detailed project scope, define project requirements, and create a roadmap that serves as a guide for Proof of Concept (PoC) development, ensuring alignment with client goals.
Example Projects: Handheld gaming accessory, tourniquet tester, document handling RPA with OCR
Supplier/Technology Scouting & Technology Assessments
Identifying technology opportunities, clarifying requirements, and sourcing commercial off-the-shelf solutions streamline the decision-making process. When possible, we connect customers with trusted suppliers and fabricators in the DFW area, saving time, reducing cost, and ensuring quality.
Example projects: Automated screwdriving equipment, automated rubber cutting machine, custom hot glue dispenser
CAD Design & Robotic Simulation
Creating and modifying CAD models in SolidWorks supports investment pitches, proof of concept designs, and 3D printing. Simulating robotic work cells in RoboDK provides accurate workflow predictions and minimizes development risks. Stress analysis and assembly simulations offer additional confidence in design feasibility.
Example Projects: Tourniquet tester, electric car charger enclosure, unmanned ship propulsion system
Proof of Concept (PoC) Development
Turning ideas into functional prototypes at the UTARI facility in Fort Worth accelerates product development. Projects may include cobot integrations, software, electrical, and mechanical components based on scope and available resources.
Example Projects: Exercise equipment, first responder tool, handheld gaming product
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) & Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Developing office task automation systems with tools like Power Automate, Power Apps, and AI Builder streamlines data processing helping manage projects such as AI-driven document processing for invoices and material test reports, automated customer aging invoice reminders, and real-time order status reports.
Example Projects: RPA Document Processing model
Machine and Process Monitoring
Deploying sensors and data acquisition systems enables tracking of equipment efficiency, power consumption, water usage, and ambient conditions. Metrics like OEE (Operational Equipment Efficiency) provide data-driven insights to optimize operations and guide capital investments.
Example Projects: Food production, pet treat manufacturing, steel chemical finishing
Dashboarding / Data Analysis & Visualization
Building custom Microsoft Power BI and Google Looker Studio dashboards transforms raw data into actionable insights empowering them to make evidence-based decisions. Tailored KPIs ensure deeper analysis aligned with specific business goals.
Example Projects: Invoice aging, customer profitability analysis, equipment performance
Operational Testing
Designing and building operational testing setups simulating real-world conditions ensures equipment meets performance expectations before full deployment. Expertise in software, electrical, and mechanical systems supports accurate experiments.
Example Projects: Torniquet testing
