Protequus required a complete end-to-end solution for the protection of much-loved and valuable horses. NRGXP developed a revolutionary smart crown integrated with a traditional equine halter. We pioneered utilizing ultra wide band radar to capture biometric data from the horse, in conjunction with behavioral data from conventional motion sensors, to be analyzed it in real time. NIGHTWATCH is capable of learning a horse’s unique biometric and behavioral signature to alert caretakers to potential problems.
Smart Thermostat
Cognition Controls
Buildings under 50,000 SF represent more than 90% of the building stock in North America, and 30% of the energy consumed by these establishments is wasted.
Cognition Controls’ approach to savings is to bring tools and technology for HVAC management to the segment by pairing the intelligence of building automation Systems with the convenience and ease of consumer technology, while keeping it main street afforable.

Cognition Controls sought assistance in bringing their thermostat concept to market.
Starting with their prototype hardware, NRGXP worked with Cognition through our iterative process to develop a commercialized solution.Consisting of dramatically slimmed mechanical assembly and electronics package, we tailored the appearance and user interface to match the automated, hands-off nature of the system.
Line Ranger
SmartKable Powerline Solutions
SmartKable conceived of a novel, cost-effective approach to apply to challenges faced by electric distribution and transmission companies and renewable energy providers.
Observing that power grids are aging past their designed lifetime, power is often lost for unknown reasons, and challenges are ahead in adding distributed renewable energy sources; their focus is to provide novel and practical solutions to these issues, reducing cost, recouping and increasing revenue, and improving power quality.

SmartKable came to NRGXP for assistance with refining their initial commercial offering - the Line Ranger 100.
With valuable data and learning in hand from customer sites, NRGXP addressed limitations in both the mechanical, electrical, and software packages. Through extensive research, development, and testing, we delivered a robust second generation Line Ranger device that offers improved reliability and accuracy, along with reduced cost and complexity.
Turtle Nest Monitor
Element Hope
Sea turtles are among the world’s most endangered species. Element Hope is striving to help scientists protect at-risk sea turtle egg nests by non-invasively monitoring incubation, right in their natural habitats. In the event predation, hatching, and/or the hatchlings exiting the nest, caretakers are automatically alerted so that they may take steps to ensure their safety.

Element Hope required a monitoring solution that was could function off the grid, was portable, and most importantly, had minimal impact on a turtle nest. NRGXP developed a solution consisting of an electronics sensor assembly and space frame, installed above an identified sea turtle nest. Powered by a battery source and solar charger, the Nest Monitor uses ultra-wide band radar, infrared video and thermal sensors, and GPS to automatically gather and store sensory data without direct contact. Specialized algorithms detect the signs and signaling of nest predation, egg hatching and next evacuation.
Everest Mentor Flex
Baker Hughes / Waygate Technologies
Waygate Technologies is world-renowned for their superior video borescope offerings. Used for remote visual inspection in industries such as aerospace maintenance, power generation, automotive, and many others; these instruments are highly sophisticated while being extremely rugged and reliable. Everest Mentor Flex is a mid-range unit that builds upon the success of Waygate’s flagship Mentor Visual iQ borescope.

Waygate sought a fresh design for a mid-range video borescope that could slot beneath their flagship offering. NRGXP helped to develop a new form factor that capitalized on proven ergonomics while enabling the use of key existing certified components. The overall aesthetic of the design also represents a complex melding of the product line’s iconic design language with the company’s evolving branding.
406 Drain Pump
Liberty Pumps
Liberty Pumps is a leader in manufacturing pumping products for ground water and wastewater removal in residential and commercial applications. Recognized by the plumbing industry as the go-to source for sump pumps to effluent pumps and everything in between, Liberty identified a need for a new drain pump product that was suitable for installation in visible environments such as a bathrooms and laundry rooms.

Liberty’s need for a more appliance-like product dictated a clean sheet approach to laying out the 406’s design. NRGXP helped to identify the key requirements that best satisfied the needs for both the installers and end consumers. The design language features form elements common to many of Liberty’s products, while incorporating revolutionary features such as an easily serviced cartridge mounted motor and impeller, and fully concealed connections.
XL Detect+ & Flex+
General Electric / Baker Hughes
General Electric’s (now Waygate Technologies) XL Go video borescope was a mainstay of there product line for years. Compact and capable, the form factor was popular with inspection crews around the world. Sensitive to customer feedback, GE sought to update and improve the instrument and bring it in-line with their current catalog.

Given the popularity of the XL Go, GE wanted to preserve the essence of the unit while adding the features that customers were looking for. NRGXP helped to engineer a solution wherein GE could continue use of significant portions of the existing injection mold tooling, enabling substantial cost savings. The final design included updating and evolving the face and touch points of the instrument, while maintaining existing critical features such as mounting and fixturing points. This enabled further savings in the assembly process while satisfying customer demand and giving the product a new lease on life.
Overcomer
Inclusivity
Inclusivity strives to enhance the lives of individuals with special needs, through the development of adaptive sport, fitness and recreational equipment. By developing and creating inclusive equipment, users are empowered with a sense of independence, fitness, engagement and overall well-being. With the idea for a unique striking device in hand, Inclusivity approached NRGXP for assistance in making the Overcomer a reality.
