Online tools

I’ve created a bunch of online tools to help You and I get through the day together..

Here is 4 sets of calculators for Rigging, Audio, Lighting and Video

Inside each of these are calculations I use all the time to get events over the line safely.

Many ideas sound promising at first glance, but only real-world testing reveals whether they can deliver. This service takes concepts from sketches, conversations, and rough notes through to functional prototypes and working systems. The objective is to transform assumptions into evidence, reducing uncertainty and uncovering opportunities for refinement before significant investment is made.

Building something quickly is often the fastest route to understanding whether an idea has potential. Prototypes allow concepts to be tested, measured, and improved long before they reach a finished product. Projects may combine electronics, software, mechanical systems, fabrication, and control technologies to create practical demonstrations of a concept’s viability.

Complex problems rarely have straightforward answers. A structured approach involving investigation, data gathering, testing, and experimentation helps uncover the root cause and identify practical solutions. Whether the challenge involves machinery, electronics, networking, automation, or physical systems, the goal is to replace guesswork with understanding.

Custom electronic systems can provide capabilities that off-the-shelf products cannot. Development may include sensor networks, wireless communications, data logging, monitoring systems, control interfaces, automation hardware, and connected devices. Every design is tailored to the specific requirements of the application rather than forcing a problem to fit an existing solution.

Live events present unique technical challenges that demand reliable, purpose-built solutions. Monitoring systems, operational tools, environmental sensors, control interfaces, and specialist hardware can improve efficiency, safety, and situational awareness in demanding event environments. Solutions are designed with real-world deployment and operation in mind.

Reliable information begins with accurate measurement. Monitoring systems collect, process, and present data from equipment, structures, environments, and operational processes. The resulting information provides valuable insight for diagnostics, optimisation, safety, and informed decision-making.

Automation reduces repetitive tasks while improving consistency and reliability. By combining sensors, networking, software, and hardware, processes can be monitored, controlled, and optimised with minimal intervention. Systems are designed around practical workflows and operational requirements rather than unnecessary complexity.

Understanding how something works is often the first step toward improving it. Detailed investigation of products, systems, hardware, software, and communication protocols can reveal capabilities, limitations, and opportunities for enhancement. This process supports development, integration, troubleshooting, and innovation.

Before committing to manufacturing, deployment, or large-scale investment, it is often valuable to establish whether a concept is technically achievable. Proof-of-concept systems provide tangible evidence, helping identify risks, validate assumptions, and guide future development with confidence.

Some challenges require solutions that simply do not exist commercially. Purpose-built tools, fixtures, test equipment, specialist hardware, and bespoke devices can be developed to address unique requirements. Each project is designed around solving a specific problem as effectively as possible.

Innovation begins with curiosity. Questions, theories, and ideas are explored through experimentation, testing, analysis, and iterative development. The focus is not only on finding answers, but also on understanding why those answers work and what new possibilities they reveal.
