We solve pain points!!
Chipkin is an organization with a wide breadth of skills. Founded in 2000, Chipkin has worked with many Fortune 500 organizations. Chipkin's core competencies lie in machine-to- machine communication at the industrial level, we know machine logic to source code level and can manipulate it to fit our clients' needs, but what truly sets us apart is how far we are willing to go for our customers. Our service is exceptional.
In the industrial communications world, cookie-cutter solutions are expensive and never truly solves the issue without a major overhaul of the system. Chipkin challenges the norm as we believe that every unique problem requires a unique solution. We create customized software and hardware to solve third party communication problems and provide personalized services to improve on current building automation systems. We believe that you can integrate new devices and systems into your current systems and optimize already installed systems without having to overhaul legacy equipment.
We recognize that our clients have unique operations and our expertise in industrial automation allows us to provide customized affordable solutions both in customized software and hardware.
Custom Hardware
Often legacy equipment utilizes protocols to communicate which are not supported by modern devices or networks.
We take these legacy protocols and convert them to BACnet or Modbus or any other protocol to facilitate communication and to save you the hassle and expense of replacing the legacy equipment.
Protocol Stack - BACnet
Chipkin also provides Stacks that allow your proprietary devices access to larger markets. Our Stacks allow your products to speak BACnet and Modbus, the two most widely used protocols in the market. By being able to communicate with one of these protocols, your products automatically are able to connect to most products in the market. The Chipkin stack can save man-years of development when your company needs to add BACnet to their products.
