| Raytheon and Laser Guidance |
RCT supplied Raytheon and Laser Guidance with wireless remote controls for temporary, tactical airfield lighting. This allows U.S. Army personnel to activate battery powered runway lights (LED and infrared) from a helicopter. For more information, see custom control systems.

| Schneider Electric / Square D |
The Square D facility in Huntington, IN uses a custom-designed system to alert nearby employees when a tow motor is operating in the vicinity. When the transmitter on the tow motor comes in range of the receiver, mounted in a problem area, it activates a strobe light and buzzer to alert anyone in the area of the presence of heavy equipment. For more information, see custom control systems.

| Toyota |
As a way to improve plant efficiency, Toyota uses our Remote Switch Systems as a way to notify the foreman if problems occur on the assembly line of one of their plants. When a worker in a specific area encounters a problem, he or she simply uses a small handheld transmitter to stop the assembly line and turn on a light that notifies their supervisor of exactly where the problem has occurred.

| Exxon |
When Exxon's tanker ships stop to refuel, an attendant uses a handheld transmitter to remotely operate the fuel pump. Instead of running back and forth between the fuel pump and the valve, the attendent simply connects the fuel hose to the tanker, opens the valve, and starts the fuel pump by remote.

| Lonestar Concrete |
As part of a control system upgrade, a mobile wireless remote system was added
to allow the plant manager and D-9 Cat operators to both select and operate many different conveyors.
We provided a 24-station receiver that generates 5-second 24VAC output pulses in response to FM
transmitter commands. Those signals are then fed to a PLC (programmable logic controller), which
controls the conveyor system.

| Texas Department of Transportation |
Currently the Texas DOT is using twenty-three systems in five different applications in eastern Texas. Wireless remote controls are used to notify incidents such as: traffic of upcoming red traffic signals or around fire stations when emergency vehicles are present, truckers in advance of weigh stations so lane changes can be made if the station is open, and to alert emergency vehicles and general traffic in advance of railroad crossings so that all vehicles can take alternate routes if blocked.

| Northeast Utilities Service Company |
A major northeast utility needed to remotely (and securely) switch on and off an electrical substation. They interfaced with our custom FM transmitter programmed with a 6-step, 15-key activation process. Wireless communication to a special coded receiver minimizes the possibility of the substation being accidentally shut down.
