ibutton authorized solution provider
Alpha Mach became an Authorized Solution Developer of Dallas in 2004 and is actively promoting the iButtons® since then.

It has been active as a consultant in system engineering, design and prototyping. A line of underwater lamps and batteries were designed for the scuba divers.

One spin-off of the consulting business, was the design of a low cost temperature storage fish tag for the Institute Maurice Lamontagne in 2001. Alpha Mach has developed a line of low cost temperature loggers, the iBtags based on the iButtons®, which are used throughout the world. The latest line of data loggers, the Weetag, now incorporate depth as well as temperature and it will be the basic platform to develop new products, still miniature and low in cost. We will also develop our distribution of the iButtons® as new models are developed by Maxim Dallas.

The firm's mission is to provide its client with the very special instrument or tool that will make their research or activities jump to new heights. Alpha Mach is well equipped with design tools from 3D solid modeling to finite element analysis with an in-house fabrication shop where prototype can be made rapidly and inexpensively.
