Nightside News

August 2009

In mid August we launched our new product genassure with Meridian Energy at one of the OHAU power stations in Twizel. The launch combined a technical presentation with a demonstraion of the system in operation. You can read more about the solution on the genassure product page and find a new Meridian case study on the Clients page

This month Nightside hit the Business Day pages of the Christchurch Press (March 3) and TVNZ's Business Breakfast programme with the story of our involvement in creating a windtunnel that roof rack designers Hubco Automotive took to the Automechanika show in Frankfurt in late 2008.

The stories keep coming this month with the publication of a case study about a project we completed for Wellington based company Energy Intellect in New Zealand's Electrical and Automation Technology magazine, Feb/March issue. Click on the image of the story on the right to view a readable pdf file.

We also had a feature article in Australia's Electronics News, talking about a prototyping project with Dynamic Controls that demonstrates how we work with clients to rapidly test embedded products and help move the development project forward. Click here to read the pdf of our case study.

January 2009

Nightside is in the news again with our high speed image and data acquisition project with OBO. A two page feature of the project was printed in the January/February 09 edition of Idealog magazine, see this link for the web edition: Idealog Article - Testing Times

December 2008

As part of our policy of getting in front of businesses focused on manufacturing high quality products, we participated this year for the first time in the NZ Organisation for Quality's learn-share-grow conference in Queenstown.

Nightside exhibited at the event, which brought in international and NZ speakers to discuss and debate issues around quality and sustainability across the manufacturing and service sectors.

The conference was a very worthwhile experience for us, and as a result we are now officially members of the NZOQ, and will be hosting local members of the organisation at our offices in February 2009.

November 2008

Welcome to another Nightside News! It has been a while since our last newsletter, so there’s plenty to catch up on in this edition. We’ve had a lot going on this year, but we still managed to find time to work with new clients in between attending awards ceremonies and launching a new product range.

Nightside will be closing down for two weeks over the Christmas holidays.  Our last day of work will be Friday 19th December, we will return to work on Monday 5th January.

Coming up early next year we’ve got a drinks-and-nibbles evening to celebrate our move to new premises! More details as they are available...

Awards

Wow! this really has been a good year for us, late in October we attended the Deloittes/Unlimited Fast50 event to discover we were on the list at number 47! We are very proud of this achievement, and would like to thank our team, our customers and advisors for their support along the way.
