"The engineers at Pump Studios have become an integral part of our team. When we need to accelerate a project to meet a deadline they always come through. We give Pump Studios nothing but high marks and recommend them to any group trying to get a hardware product into production."
Joe Pinkerton – CEO – Brane Audio
"Pump has been a very important and critical part of the iFetch Team. They provide great inspiration in the early product development activities and are totally involved in all phases of the new product commercialization process. They turn the concepts into prototypes for testing, and they complete the design for manufacturing, including release and control documentation for fabrication and quality control. We could not have developed the great family of products we have without them."
Denny Hamill – CEO – iFetch
"The team at Pump Studios strikes that perfect balance of due diligence and flexible experimentation. Over the years we've collaborated on a number of innovation projects for both established brands and early-stage companies.

A few of them have been around longer than anyone remembers, and will be for years to come. We’re talking about our tools, of course. It’s no secret that engineers love tools. We love using the new ones, the old ones, the big ones, and the small ones. Some are passed down as family heirlooms, and some make
CES 2023
We recently had the opportunity to witness some of the most spectacular displays, experiences, and hottest products at CES 2023. Although we didn’t see anywhere close to everything, we found that our favorite exhibits used automation to solve human problems. Below are our top exciting things that you might have missed. ROBOTICS: RapidPlan by Realtime Robotics With automation and robotics becoming more present in working human environments, prioritizing safety and easy programming is a must. RapidPlan–motion planning software–utilizes click-and-point technology to program robotic arms while minimizing programming time and avoiding collisions. Traditionally, programming happens one robot at a time. With RapidPlan
The Continuous Refinement of Product Requirements
