Integrated System Solutions for Military, Utilities, and Manufacturing

With almost 50 years of experience, we know how to assemble systems that do not currently exist from components that do. A maxim at Foster-Miller is to use what is available if it can do the job, because that is what serves our customers best. Our ability to provide integrated system solutions for manufacturing industries, utilities and military customers is demonstrated daily in systems that combine electromechanical robotics, intelligent control software, miniature sensors, and powerful machinery to maximize performance and reduce development risk.

Integrated System Solutions for the Military

Foster-Miller’s engineering capabilities extend to integrating mechanical, electrical, electronic, fluid and thermal components into custom military systems such as bridges, nuclear power plant maintenance, chemical decontamination, aircraft launch and recovery, mine countermeasures, and lightweight armor. With experience from basic materials through engineering design and control systems, Foster-Miller’s staff provides the full range of skills necessary to create, design, build, test and place these systems into military applications.

Integrated System Solutions for Utilities

Foster-Miller has been developing equipment, systems and technology to support the utility industry for over 20 years, from power generation and distribution to utility maintenance in the United States and overseas. Our technology supports conventional and nuclear power plants, power management, and plant maintenance needs. Foster-Miller’s technology has been licensed around the world and is unmatched in performance, effectiveness and reliability. Technologies include remotely operated robotic systems, portable plant processing systems, advanced control and optical systems as well as plant and equipment services and support.

Integrated System Solutions for Manufacturing / Industry

Foster-Miller has provided services to and understands the engineering needs of a multitude of industries. Since most of our customers ask us to develop new processes and custom equipment, they expect us to take into consideration how custom equipment would fit into the overall production system and what standard commercial equipment is available. We meet these expectations by evaluating an entire system before we present recommendations for improvement, optimization and custom equipment.

The secret of Foster-Miller’s success is that we start with an analysis of the needs, fill in the gaps, then integrate commercial components with custom equipment. The fact that we have available the complete spectrum of engineering capabilities assures that this system integration is eminently successful.
