Feisal Hurzook
As a professional Electrical Engineer in the province of Ontario, Feisal Hurzook has worked on high-reliability and mission-critical projects from military, aerospace and transportation to consumer and commercial touch panels and industrial process controls. Starting his career in welding automation and robots and patented designs of high-power switched reluctance motors, Hurzook went on to manage the IT infrastructure for the Ontario Government and later the F35 program at Honeywell Aerospace. This diverse knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit led him to start his own automation device company in the early 2000s as he witnessed a growing need in the shop floor automation space for network-connected, error-proofing devices and the industry’s need to collect vital manufacturing data in the modern factory.
