MKProducts.com

MKProducts.com is a 59-year old ISO-certified welding products manufacturer that needed help embedding software.

Website:

“The product with which Horizon is helping us is an industrial manufacturing device. It has an embedded controller that manages the actual process, and an Android panel front-end that provides near real-time updates and control feedback to the user. We had previous sets of contractors who each made an attempt to get real-time-like performance from the Android front end. They were abysmal failures. Horizon's team understands the tradeoffs required for real-time embedded processing and is able to write Android code that partitions the expensive computations outside the fast loops and allows our code to offer timely information to the users of our product. Highly recommended."

Engineering Manager

MKProducts.com is a 59-year-old ISO-certified welding-products manufacturer (51–200 employees). Its internal team of 20 engineers had been unable to deliver a critical software solution over two years.

Problem: The client’s in-house team was stalled on a legacy embedded/software project for multiple years. They needed to accelerate development without ballooning costs.

Solution: Horizon Labs provided a dedicated 2-engineer team to augment MKProducts’ staff. We took over the project full-time after a 3-month trial and focused on the backlog of features and fixes. By working closely with the client’s engineering manager, we prioritized critical tasks and implemented robust processes to rapidly iterate on the product.

Outcome: Within months, Horizon Labs delivered what the 20-person team couldn’t in two years. The project went from stagnation to launch-ready under Horizon Labs' lead. The engagement has continued long-term, cementing MKProducts as a flagship engineering-success story for the team.

Key Results: Staff augmentation unlocked progress; The client’s roadmap was fulfilled on an accelerated timeline, effectively resetting the schedule and enabling future growth.
