What We Have Done
The Navy

With the help of UC Riverside, the Navy had developed lab concepts on how to move through some key 02 metrology and calibration steps for warfighter oxygen equipment. They needed a product to automate this process and came to Left Coast Engineering to design and deliver complete custom units to support all Navy MetCal labs. This product encapsulated the complex sequences to maintain simple operation of an intricate system.
Left Coast Engineering designed the entire unit from concept to production. In the process, LCE addressed the challenge of creating a simple User Interface (UI) that makes the Automated Fluidics System easy to operate for technicians in the field, plus allows configuration through a simple programming interface.

Freedom Flight Works, Inc.

Freedom Flight Works, Inc. is an aerospace research and development company specializing in technology innovation for DoD customers. In 2020 FFW had an opportunity to innovate a new method of testing aviation fuel quality with requirements that the device be compact, reliable and easy to use. FFW had solutions for the laser spectrography technology at the core of the device, but needed help on packaging, electrical circuit and board design and integration. Left Coast Engineering had expert capability to support successful execution of the project and has been a key team member throughout the project.
Following success on this development FFW has continued to collaborate with LCE on other efforts and considers them “part of the team”– that, is productive, conscientious, and focused on delivering high quality engineering services for program success.

Miso Robotics

Miso, an aggressively growing start-up technology company in the robotic restaurant automation space, came to Left Coast Engineering for expertise in product development to support their team’s efforts. Specifically, their goals were to improve on product manufacturability, maintenance and reliability on their Sippy and Cookright products.
In one example, Miso had identified an industry need for a precision scale that runs 24/7 with high accuracy and no need for taring, while fitting into a stringent low-height package, all while being low cost. LCE supported Miso’s vision with a product design solution that sends data wirelessly and allows remote monitoring and configuration. Drift was minimized with clever electronics that utilized low-cost load cells and proved to deliver necessary accuracy without the need for taring. This product implementation supported MISO’s success in providing complete solutions to their customers.

Scripps Health
Left Coast Engineering is developing the prototype electronics for Scripps Health‘s smart shoulder replacement implant, which is funded by the National Institutes of Health. This implant will continuously and remotely monitor and transmit data from inside a patient’s new shoulder after replacement surgery, providing data that could lead to improved future implant designs and patient care. These electronics must be miniaturized to fit within a very small space inside the implant device, and need to be tested to survive within a patient’s arm for 20 years or more.
