Solutions Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SOLU) is an international engineering firm that provides cost-cutting solutions for Fortune 500 Companies through Bulk-Outsourcing Solutions and Product Development Engineering. SGI was founded by industry leaders who drew from their executive experience in top domestic and international engineering and contract manufacturing firms to develop a unique strategic solution to address current market needs.

As the global financial system continues to experience volatility, technology companies are looking for additional ways to cut development costs, while maintaining the quality and control that has brought their success. Building on successes learned from the Contract Manufacturing world, SGI offers its partners a solution that is more effective at achieving these goals than traditional offshoring for companies needing to divest themselves of engineering functions and departments that are not considered "core competencies" and do not contribute to IP or market differentiation.

Solutions Group is experiencing rapid growth during the economic downturn by leveraging its global infrastructure and expertise utilizing a hybrid of local outsource management and wholly owned off-shore engineering centers in low-cost regions. Solutions Group supports a variety of market sectors, including: Semi-Conductor, Cellular, Networking, Medical, Military/Aerospace, Industrial and commercial electronics.

PCB Design
Solutions Group's printed circuit board (pcb) design outsourcing model is structured to provide standardization and consistency across all pcb layout activities. Though each client has internal pcb processes to which the SGI dedicated pcb design team will integrate, we have developed a system and an infrastructure to efficiently transition in-house PCB design groups, into SGI/Client partnership groups, and aggressively reduce costs while maintaining consistency and quality in all board designs.

CAD Library Development
Solutions Group's PCB Library Development/Management and Mechanical Library Development/Management solution dramatically cuts costs and reduces turn times for engineering development cycles. SGI has developed a methodology, utilizing a proprietary web based technology and process to manage the interface between the Engineer requesting library parts production and the library department doing development, that can tie directly into the desired CAD platform, Schematic Tool, PCB layout tool, and procurement or product lifecycle management software to make global library management run smoothly.

Software Engineering
Solutions Group's Software Engineering team provides multiple software solutions to add value to our clients; From custom tools and applications to improve design processes, to hardware/software integration and firmware development for full product engineering.

idrive,a subsidiary of Solutions Group Inc, is a Professional Event Data Recorder system for vehicles which can capture High Definition videos, both of the front of the vehicle and the rear, using a dual camera device and records when an event occurs, including: accidents, aggressive driving behavior, door open event or panic (after pressing the specially designed panic button).

The videos are stored on internal memory together with other information like G-force values, GPS coordinates, date, time and more, all collected from the device. The transfer to the computer or to a specific network is made using wireless or USB. The idrive dual camera device is designed to be mounted to the windshield, behind the rear view mirror.

An internal accelerometer along with other sensors and a GPS module can detect: aggressive driving behavior, accidents, speed and more. Exceptional forces such as hard braking, swerving, collision, etc. cause the recorder to save critical seconds of audio and video footage immediately before and after the triggered event.

The videos are stored on an up to 32 GB internal memory along with other information like G-Force values, GPS coordinates, date, time and other information.

An innovative USB adaptor - idrive USB Flash - can be used to safely download the data in cases where there is no wireless network or in any emergency situations when the vehicle cannot connect to a wireless network.

The system automatically switches to infrared night vision to record videos at night.

An internal rechargeable battery keeps the system on in case the device is disconnected from the vehicle battery.

Safety first! With two wireless panic buttons, one mounted on the dash and one for the keyring. A video recorded event is always within reach. Additionally all data captured is immediately encrypted for security.
