About Wilmington Research and Development

WRD is an independently owned electronic controls manufacturer and consultancy firm located in Newburyport, Massachusetts. WRD specializes in application specific electronic controls design. In situations where a number of electronic control attributes are required (i.e. motor control with networking, user interface, and custom routines), off-the-shelf solutions often fall short of meeting all of these requirements, and leave the user with a bulky, overpriced solution to their needs. We often see this in the form of multiple interconnected PLC's, or "one-size-fits-all" controls, which lack the additional functions needed by the client, and leave you vulnerable to failures and obsolescence. WRD has developed core technologies to meet requirements in motor, temperature, torque, and pressure control, as well as networking capabilities, and user interfaces. Our engineers take your needs, and use their years of applications knowledge to design a solution which targets your exact needs, while reducing cost, size, and time to market. The advantage WRD has over its competitors, is that we not only provide design assistance, but completely handles manufacturing, product support, and repairs. This allows you to completely offload all electronics upkeep for your product, simply purchasing finished, tested controls from us, which will be continuously improved to meet your ever changing market. We design controls for industrial, commercial, material handling, medical, packaging, testing and QC, and food processing purposes. Our wide range of industry and applications knowledge gives us the flexibility to meet your specific needs in a way that is comprehensive and cost effective
