An automotive engineering firm was tasked to redesign an SUV into a futuristic concept for the annual automotive show. Gull wing doors were part of the concept which required 2 gas springs as a lift assist on each door. At the time, the “concept” was still changing so the weight, COG and pivot points of the doors were not final. The vehicle had to ship in 3 weeks, so an immediate solution was necessary. Learn how Exotic helped solve this problem here. 

Traditional, line-of-sight gauges are a thing of the past! Parker SensoNODE combines remote sensor monitoring and bluetooth smart technology to provide you with instant data readings in the palm of your hand. Monitor your equipment for performance issues and identify problems before failures occur. Learn more here. 

The PTS Mobile App released a new function which allows users to create serialized asset records on-the-go. The new create capability works with previously printed labels or asset tags with an unused PTS ID. If no pre-printed tags are available, the app will create a new PTS ID for you which can be printed or marked onto the product later.
