Budget-friendly PCB design and industrial automation for manufacturers who need precision without the enterprise price tag.
Schematic capture, board layout, routing, and production GERBER files. SMT and through-hole, single to multi-layer.
Full PCB assembly support — BOM preparation, component sourcing, assembly house liaison, and production optimization for both SMT and through-hole builds.
In-house wave solder capability for through-hole and mixed-technology boards, with custom alignment fixtures for precise multi-board registration. Max board size 12" x 14".
AVR / Arduino-based embedded firmware, MQTT, Wi-Fi, and serial protocols for custom hardware.
MTConnect, OPC-UA, MQTT, and FOCAS adapters for legacy CNC and industrial controllers.
Browser-based dashboards and data collection devices to monitor factory productivity in real time.
Ladder logic for Allen Bradley, Siemens, WAGO, and more. Read or write programs for process control.
Windows application development using Microsoft Visual C++ with MFC. Desktop tools, industrial interfaces, serial communications, and custom software for machine and process control.
3D mechanical design, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks. Enclosure design, custom brackets, and production-ready DXF and STEP files for machining and fabrication.
Custom web-based reporting, visualizations, and remote monitoring interfaces for industrial systems.
Valence Shell designed and built the complete data pipeline for this live solar monitoring system. Custom software interfaces directly with the solar inverters to collect generation data, publishes it via a cloud MQTT broker, and a browser-based dashboard connects over WebSockets to render everything live — no page refresh required.
The dashboard is live and publicly accessible, showing real data from a 48-panel solar installation with two string inverters. It tracks production, consumption, battery state, UV index, and per-panel-string voltage, current, and power — updated in real time. The solution is fully compatible with the EG4 family of solar inverters, making it a drop-in monitoring upgrade for any EG4-based installation.
Direct access to the engineer designing and building your project — no account managers, no overhead.
Rare depth across PCB design, embedded firmware, PLC, and industrial networking in one shop.
GERBER files, BOMs, schematic packages, and test procedures ready for your assembly house.
Specializing in retrofitting older machines and controllers with modern connectivity — no rip-and-replace required.
Valence Shell is a hands-on engineering consultancy specializing in PCB design and budget-conscious industrial automation. With roots in mechanical engineering, CNC technology, and 25+ years of electronics design, we bridge the gap between legacy factory hardware and modern connectivity.
We've built award-winning edge devices, connected hundreds of machines to MES systems, designed multi-layer PCBs for production, and written firmware for everything from beer brewstands to water filtration systems.
