• 1990 – 2002 EAN Australia – EAN Numbering Administration and Integrity Checking System
  This product was commissioned by EAN Australia to maintain their Membership System, Contact Management System, Manufacturer Number Allocation System, Bar Code Scanning Validation System and Product Database. The product database contains an integrated pack dimensions and image library of the products that come in for Bar Code scanning & verification testing. ALL products on the shelves of ALL major Australian supermarket chain stores will have had their bar codes verified though this system.
  Commissioned by EAN Australia.
• 1994 – NSW State Rail System
  A software product designed to integrate with the NSW State Rail System Computer Controlled Freight Rail System. The task involved networking 17 overhead projectors, which were used to project a computer generated image of the State Rail system onto a screen in front of the operator work-stations, and poll each projector in real time for errors. The system maintained a full maintenance history including trapping and recording up to 134 of the projector variables that could be made by a remote controller. Access levels were built into the system to prevent unauthorised access to many of the projectors critical functions.
  Commissioned by Trident Video Systems.

1990 – Alcotest – Police Breathalysers
Two products, hardware and software.

The first was to reverse engineer (under licence) the hardware and software and to rewrite the code within the breathalysers to meet Police and Legislative guidelines within both Australia and Canada.

The second was a product to interrogate and download the stored data within the Alcotest Breathalyser and to present the information in a variety of statistical reports. Commissioned by DRAGAR Ltd.

1991 – IEI – Voice Dialler/Alarm
This product involved taking over the design and construction of a project started by the Research and Development arm of IEI Australia (makers of the VESDA Smoke Alarm). The project involved a security alarm that would store digitised voice messages encoded using single bit adaptive delta modulation and to dial out and play the pre-recorded messages over the telephone in response to an alarm. There were strict requirements to meet “low power mode” power drain limits, EMF radiation limits, lightning protection, limited ROM and non-volatile RAM memory space, AUSTEL approval and voice quality standards.
Commissioned by IEI Australia.
