Our History

Applied Sciences Group was established in February 1993 in the Cheektowaga, NY by three founding partners, Mike Buckley, John Kuhn and Henry Bacher.  Applied Sciences Group answered the need for an engineering firm specializing in the development of factory automation and custom software solutions. The trio launched the Company on the basis of their relationships with Control Techniques and Praxair.

Control Techniques, a manufacturer of industrial drives, asked ASG to develop a custom software application that would allow a plant engineer to configure many networked drives from a single location. High speed material handling systems rely heavily on coordinated drive systems, and this tool greatly reduced the labor involved in getting such systems up and running.

Praxair, Inc. is an industrial gas supplier which provides an enormous range of gas products to its industrial clients throughout the world. They came to ASG when they wanted to develop a standard control systems methodology and then implement that control strategy at hundreds of locations. The strategy developed is scalable enough to use on anything from small skid mounted systems to complete plant systems used to fill trucks or supply pipelines.

Throughout the years, Applied Sciences Group has expanded its service offering to include embedded systems and SCADA software solutions.

In 1999, Applied Sciences Group acquired the assets of energy management system supplier, Towne Applied Technology. Towne Applied Technology developed a software-based scheduling and control software product called TIMBER. The culmination of ASG and Towne's expertise enabled the Company to apply its software engineering and project management skills to commercial and industrial building control applications. The TIMBER product has undergone continued development with options for interface with a variety of Building Control Systems.

In 2002, Applied Sciences Group opened an office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, through which plant-floor automation solutions and services are provided to the rapidly growing Toronto metropolitan area.

When the New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences was created in 2006, Applied Sciences Group became a premier member of their Corporate Partner Program. Over the years we have contributed to the acceleration of Biotech and medical device development taking projects from the lab to commercialized products. Two medical devices of special note are the SmartPill and the Hickey Cardiac Heart Monitoring Catheter.

In 2007, Applied Sciences Group was engaged by Medgraph in Rochester, New York to develop the database and web interface for a remote monitoring system. The system collects diabetes patient readings and transmits them to a remote server for storage and examination by health-care professionals.

Applied Sciences Group will also be taking the next step with Scivanta Corporation in advancing the development of the Hickey Catheter. Scivanta licensed the technology from the University of Buffalo. Applied Sciences Group participated in the early development of the device.

Today's manufacturers and medical device developers need their projects done on time and on budget. With over 30 engineers, Applied Sciences Group is committed to being a customer driven organization, and collaborating with our clients. ASG has the expertise and experience to get the job done right!
