Infusebox: Crestron Programmer and Touchscreen Designer
Booth #3606
Infusebox specializes in Crestron programming of customized touchscreen GUIs.
08.03.2007 — In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang describe two primal opposing but complementary principles or cosmic forces found in all objects in the universe. The concept is generally used in addressing the balance that a person needs to create between their working life and their home life.
But for an integrator working on a large six-figure installation, it can sometimes feel like yin is slitting yang's throat.
That's why "spiritual balance" is the theme of the Infusebox booth at the CEDIA Expo. The company is a certified third-party Crestron programmer whose aim is to help integrators make more money and reduce stress by integrating various pieces of equipment with Crestron controls, and creating really cool-looking touchscreen GUIs.
Founded two years ago by president Tom Milpacher, the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company employs four full-time programmers proficient in whole-house controls and lighting controls.
"We don't just do the programming, we also do the design and engineering," says Milpacher. "The idea is to help the integrator finish the job smoothly with full CAD documents. It's amazing how many don't provide design and engineering documentation for their jobs, which leads to delays, improper thermal management or spending an extended time training the customer."
Another one of Infusebox's strengths is its ability to adapt quickly to dealers' needs. The bottom line, according to Milpacher, is that an integrator who comes to the Infusebox booth at the CEDIA Expo should ask the staff, "How can you help me make more money?"
The company also offers a series of modules designed to help integrators internally write programs for certain pieces of equipment. At the show, a module that helps integrate HAI security systems into a Crestron control will be for sale. "The existing HAI module from Crestron is not terribly good," comments Milpacher.
Infusebox averages about two systems per year, usually for installations with total costs in the $300,000 to $1,000,000+ range.
The company will write Crestron programming for integrators throughout the U.S., as well as internationally.
