Welcome to Adaptive Development Corporation

OVER 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Our customer base is diverse. We service the automotive, aerospace, consumer product, military, and thermal industries.
ADC takes on projects that are beyond the capabilities of most others. Because of the diversity and flexibility of ADC's in-house mechanical and electric engineering operations, the company can perform even the most complex jobs without relying on outside contractors. The company is vertically integrated with complete manufacturing capabilities to support the engineering core of ADC. For example, ADC has built an entire, 1/4 scale model jet engine, from a print, manufacturing every component part in-house. One "Fortune 100" customer recently commented that ADC was the only company in the world capable of completing their job.

ADC is a full-service engineering, machining and fabrication operation, focused in five major areas:

  • Cutaways - Product cutaways, active displays and models, and other product demonstration devices used for trade shows, lobby/airport exhibits, and sales/service training.

  • Contract Manufacturing & Engineering - ADC can manufacture specialized industrial products. Simply provide specifications and ADC can provide your company with a quotation. We also do concept and construction product development.

  • Industrial Automation Equipment - Industrial Washers, Welders, and Assembly Systems designed specifically for cells.

  • Rebuild Machinery - In addition to the technology we have for the new machinery, the rebuild and update allows ADC to follow the existing concepts in customer systems.

  • Standard Industrial Products - We also have a standard industrial product line which includes lifting mechanisms, special conveyors, tub dumpers, shuttles, and ergonomic workbenches.
     

For an SAE Show in Detroit, ADC designed and built a fully operational, computerized suspension system which was integrated with a "big screen" monitor that depicted an actual roadway with changing terrain and direction. The display demonstrated how the suspension system reacted as the terrain and direction changed. In addition to the demonstration value of the display, it also attracted countless people to the customer's booth. This is an expression of our Automation.
