What We Do

At KDC, we partner with agricultural and industrial equipment manufacturers to develop practical mechanical and control solutions.

Mechanical Design

3D modeling and prototyping for real-world manufacturability.

Control Systems

PLC/HMI programming, CANbus networks, and J1939 module integration for engine and transmission control.

Robotics Integration

Sensor-based motion, precision actuation, and operator-assist automation.

Product Documentation

Drawings, BOMs, and wiring diagrams organized for smooth handoff, revision tracking, and production use.

PDM/PLM & IT Consulting

PDM and PLM setup, backups, and IT consulting to keep CAD, software, and documentation in sync.
