Mission Statement:

 

Grey Wolf Innovations Incorporated

Is Dedicated to Engineering Excellence - Targeting Accuracy and Precision

We Strive to:

  • Offer a wide variety of engineering services.
  • Produce Products with Exceptional Value, Safety and Quality.
  • Provide Customers with Services which Reflect the Highest Level of Integrity.
  • Exceed the Needs of Clients.

The Four Sequential Pillars of our Engineering Philosophy are:

Design - Simulation - Analysis - Manufacture

Design:  The best ideas must take the form of a design.

This starts as an idea in a persons mind and makes its way to a napkin, white board, hand sketch or verbal description.  The design, be it a mechanical or electronic system, a mathematical construct or software system, is the Definable, Measurable, Scalable realization of that idea.  Preliminary cost analysis comes early in this stage.  This determines if the resulting product is cost effective (positive ROI).

Simulation:  Determining if the Design will work in the vision of the Ideas that created it.

This can take the form of simple modeled physical-mechanical interactions.  It can range up to a closed loop feedback system, such as an electro-mechanical system being driven by a software control system with hardware in the loop.

Analysis:  Determining if the working design / simulation meets target specifications.

Engineering is often the artful balance of compromises.  As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever.  Having predictive knowledge of long term system performance, understanding the strengths, weaknesses and failure points of a system, is paramount in today's competitive, litigious society.  Managing risks and creating proper documentation makes a better product, and protects the investment.

Prior to Tooling and Production, these important questions must be answered:

Electro-Mechanical:

  • Does the part have too much stress or strain?

  • Will it fail from the loading?

  • If it is dropped will it break?

  • Will it fail from fatigue?

  • Does it vibrate too much?

  • Does it get too hot or cold and where?

  • Does the fluid flowing through it have too much resistance?

  • Is this the optimal design with regards to strength vs. weight?

Controls:

  • How does the system fail?
  • Does it fail in a safe manner?
  • Are there areas where the inputs result in unstable or unpredictable control?
  • Is the system robust to component variation?

 

Manufacture:  After design, simulation, and analysis comes physical realization.

  • Best Processes
  • Quality Control
  • Testing to verify Simulation and Analysis 

Company Profile:

Owner David W. Weber BSME (mechanical systems design)

David W. Weber has over 15 years of vehicle dynamics experience ranging from accident reconstruction (product liability (defense)) and control systems design ABS, YSC, etc, and open wheel racing.

His  expertise is in software control systems architecture and design.  He has a proven track record of taking ideas from the white board into production.  He has been the "Make" in "Make-Or Break" programs.  

When he is not performing engineering activities his time is split between his family and technical diving.

Mr. Weber is an active technical closed circuit tri-mix diver, a certified PSD and NAUI Divemaster.  His passion is the Great Lakes ship wrecks.  He is dedicated towards the education and safe proliferation of Closed Circuit Rebreather Systems (CCR).

Mr. David Weber is available for personal contract and is accepting clients.
