Do you need to design new stage machinery or motion control with safety functions? Need to make your machinery compliant from the start and reduce costs with a short development time?

Have questions? We provide a one-hour design consultancy service to answer all your queries.

At BLUMANO, we have the skills to help your R&D department make the right choices, while prioritising safety requirements to develop your stage machinery product. Our experts will keep the project running efficiently during the design and prototyping process. Afterwards, we can produce the complete documentation package to allow you to declare conformity and release a certifiable finished product.

BLUMANO’s software design and implementation service is made for the entertainment industry, from PC and mobile applications to embedded applications, motion control inverters, PLCs and Safety PLCs. Our team of experts will help you design the application from concept to prototype and support you all the way through the commissioning and implementation phases.

What We Can Offer

Our services include

Idea Concept

We can help you develop a product for a specific entertainment market segment or meet user/client specifications, while respecting the key points for your stage machinery in order to comply with directives and industry standards. BLUMANO may suggest a range of suitable hardware components such as encoders, safe edges, sensors, inverters, safety relays, fail-safe PLCs and actuators to meet detailed specifications and engineer solutions to bring the concept to reality.

Functional Analysis

At BLUMANO, we believe in legacy product support. System interconnectivity is a key factor to consider and we can help create a clear and simple block diagram to understand the project’s scale and analyse the URS (User Required Specifications) that must be achieved.

Optimal Design / Prototyping / Commissioning

BLUMANO works with the best industry experts to produce schematics and drawings and will collaborate with your team of engineers to achieve the perfect in-house design. Subsequently, we’ll support you through prototyping and, if necessary, revert to the design process to fine-tune and achieve the perfect solution for your final product. We’ll then assist you with commissioning to ensure all initial targets have been met.

PLC Development

Our software designers can support you across all phases for the development of PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and whether they will be used for simple-to-complex multipoint control applications that follow industrial protocols (SCADA solutions) or are used/designed for testing stage machinery equipment.

Fail-Safe Design Features

In the event of a system failure, a fail-safe design feature can prevent or mitigate unsafe consequences that will affect equipment or people. We can help you develop Fail-Safe PLCs with the most common safety functions including break detection, immediate or deceleration stops (CAT SS0, SS1 or SS2), safe limits related to speed and acceleration or emergency limits (SLS, SLA, SEL).

Advice & Support

Our expert consultants will advise and support you on decentralised network PLCs, embedded Fail-Safe CPUs and other safety applications, such as redundancy and backup solutions, custom apps and wireless solutions.

Whatever your needs or constraints may be, we can develop Motion Control Inverters for low-to-fast speed control > 10.000 mm/s or light-to-heavy loads.

Documentation

BLUMANO’s technical writers and graphic designers will help you with the content and layouts needed to fill in the gaps for your existing product user manual and thus complying with industry guidelines. In the project development’s final step, we’ll compile and validate your technical files and can issue the Declaration of Conformity DRAFT on your behalf to achieve the desired approval level from a certified body.

Please refer to our Compliance and Certification services for more details.
