Special Projects

There are many companies that can operate off the shelf equipment and provide you with whatever its designed to do. Sometimes there is a question that arises or information that you need and everyone looks at each other thinking "I don't know how we'd get that?" This is an area that AppSciTec excels in. We love to have a novel, one-off problem that needs attention. With our years of experience across a vast spectrum of hardware types, customer needs, harsh environments and unique problems to solve, we come to the table ready to find a way.

There might not be a good way to do this, but...

Sometimes you know what you need or want, but figure there's not good way to get it. You probably aren't the first one that wanted it, and hey, we may have already helped out the last person that wondered the same thing.

​

"We need to get some environmental data and live video from down this mine shaft, but there is only a 6" tube to access it, its pitch black, its full of water, and we need to go down 1,000 ft."

Well, I would really like to get...

"... a GPS log of where these floating sediment cones travel after you drop them off via UAV, while they are out floating around in an acid lake for 6+ months."

​

So we began R&D on custom equipment to connect to the floats that wake up infrequently, log a GPS point if they can, or give up and try later if they can't. 10 Li-ion cells for power should keep this logger going for up to a year. The initial deployment was around 4 months and we finally had a look at what happens to the equipment out there. We were wondering when and where they moved too!
