SHWPRO Development Division

Custom R&D
For the Field.

We build systems that don't exist yet. If you're working in live broadcast or show production and you've hit a wall that off-the-shelf hardware can't solve — this is where you come. Hardware, software, firmware, and full system integration. From napkin sketch to field-deployed system.

What We Do

We Solve Problems.

SHWPRO Development is the custom engineering arm of SHWPRO. Every project starts with a field problem — something that slows down deployments, introduces failure points, or simply doesn't exist in any form you can buy.

We take that problem and engineer a solution from first principles. That means geometry-driven design, process-aware manufacturing, and zero single points of failure — built into every system from day one, not bolted on after the fact.

When a project is complete, it's field-deployable. Not a prototype. Not a proof of concept. A system you can put on an active show and trust.

Every custom build also doubles as internal R&D — the best solutions become SHWPRO products available to the whole industry.

Custom Hardware

Enclosures, frames, panels, mounts, and deployment systems designed and fabricated in-house. CNC-machined HDPE, aluminum extrusion, and CF-reinforced nylon 3D printing.

System Integration

Full-stack builds combining power, networking, RF, and data into a single deployable unit. One box. One cable. Ready to go.

Firmware & Software

Embedded firmware and software to drive custom hardware. Configuration interfaces, monitoring tools, and field-serviceable code.

Power Architecture

Off-grid and hybrid DC bus systems with battery failover, solar input, and PoE distribution. Built for mission-critical deployments.

Prototyping & R&D

From sketch to working prototype fast. Design, fabrication, and iteration all in-house — no outsourcing, no lead time surprises.

How It Works

From Problem
to Deployed

Every engagement starts with a conversation, not a quote. We need to understand the problem before we can design the solution — and that process is free.

Step 01

Problem Brief

Tell us what you're trying to solve. No formal paperwork required — a phone call or email is enough. We ask the right questions.

Step 02

Design & Scope

We develop the engineering approach and scope the build. You get a clear proposal before anything is fabricated.

Step 03

Build & Test

Design, fabrication, assembly, and bench testing all in-house in Florida. We don't ship untested hardware.

Step 04

Field Deploy

Ships ready to go. Documentation, support, and iteration based on real field feedback — the first show is always the real test.

Active Deployment

IMSA Motorsports — Pit Lane

RFID Pit Lane
Tire Tracking System

The client had a working RFID car-identification system — but the hardware was a PVC pipe frame with electronics thrown into a box, running off a single AC circuit. It worked in the lab. It didn't belong on an active pit lane.

They came to SHWPRO to turn their prototype into a production-finished build. We redesigned the entire physical system from scratch: a 2020 T-slot aluminum frame with custom PA12-CF 3D-printed hinges and brackets that lock the antennas at precise angles while remaining fully adjustable — no tools required. Anyone on the crew can fine-tune antenna position mid-session without so much as a hex key.

The electronics mount on a removable internal rack. When a session ends, the crew pulls the rack and works off-site — the frame stays on pit lane. Power runs on AC, external battery, or solar, with active cooling fans. Lives outdoors for weeks at a time and built like it.

Why SHWPRO Development

Built by People
Who Work the Shows

// 01

Field-First Engineering

We don't design from a conference room. Every spec decision is filtered through real deployment experience — racetracks, broadcast compounds, outdoor venues in the rain.

// 02

Fully In-House

Design, CNC machining, 3D printing, assembly, and testing all happen under one roof in Florida. No outsourcing. No lead time surprises. No finger-pointing when something needs to change.

// 03

R&D First, Product Second

We're an R&D company that also sells products — not the other way around. Custom builds get the same engineering rigor as anything in the catalog.

// 04

Dual-Purpose Builds

Your custom project funds our internal R&D. The best solutions get productized and made available to the whole industry — your problem becomes an industry solution.

// 05

No Single Points of Failure

Redundancy is designed in from the start. Power, data, mechanical — every critical path has a fallback.

// 06

Direct Access

You work directly with the engineer building your system. No account manager relay, no ticket queue. The person who designs it picks up the phone.

About SHWPRO

Built from
the Field Up.

We didn't start SHWPRO to fill a market gap we read about in a report. We found the gaps ourselves — hauling cable, setting up compounds, wondering why the right tool didn't exist. A handful of engineers who came up through the same ranks, hit the same walls, and decided to do something about it. So we built it. Then the next one. Now we build them for the whole industry.

The Origin

Started on the
Show Floor.

It didn't start with a business plan. It started with grunt work — utility calls, carrying cases, doing whatever needed doing on broadcast productions. The kind of job where you learn how shows actually run, not how they're supposed to run.

When the shows realized there was a technical background behind the labor, things shifted. Technician work, then engineering, then a pattern became impossible to ignore: the same inefficiencies kept showing up on every production. Tools that weren't designed for field conditions. Solutions that worked in a controlled environment and fell apart the moment they hit heat, humidity, and a real show schedule. A whole industry improvising around gaps that nobody had bothered to fill.

The first product was a 3D-printed ST cap case — a simple way to keep fiber dust caps organized on set. People on the crew started asking where they could get one. Then another. Then a 12-count ST patch panel to match. Then a coworker asked about large-format panels, and that question became The Frame — a modular, swappable panel system that didn't exist before.

SHWPRO exists because the industry kept asking questions we could answer. The custom work came next. Now it's both: products built from field problems, and the capability to engineer new solutions when the catalog runs out.

Started as Utilities

Grunt work on broadcast productions. Learning how shows actually run from the ground up — not from a classroom. Every one of us started the same way.

Moved to Technicians

Shows recognized the technical background and took a chance. The inefficiencies in production infrastructure became impossible to ignore — and impossible not to fix.

First Product: ST Cap Case

3D-printed fiber dust cap organizer built for personal use on set. Crew members started asking for their own. SHWPRO Products was born.

ST Patch Panel

12-count field-deployable patch panel. Fast, zip-tie mountable, UV stable. Took off across productions.

The Frame System

A coworker asked about large-format panels. The question became a full modular frame and swappable panel system that hadn't existed before.

Custom Work & Special Projects

People started asking: can you package all this gear into one plug-and-play box? Can you build a deployment frame that folds down and sets up in under a minute? Can you make something that runs off solar with no shore power? The answer was always yes.

The Shop

3,600 Square Feet.
All In-House.

Every SHWPRO product — from a single patch panel to a fully custom equipment enclosure — is designed, fabricated, assembled, and tested in a 3,600 square foot dedicated fabrication shop in Florida.

Multiple engineering-grade FDM printers handle additive manufacturing — PA12-CF, PAHT-CF, and PETG for field-grade parts that handle UV, heat, chemicals, and impact without complaint. A precision CNC router table handles machining. Full CAD and CAM pipeline, all designed in-house. Welders, table saws, chop saws, and a full power tool complement for everything in between.

There's no outsourcing. No contract manufacturer. No "designed here, built elsewhere." If it has a SHWPRO name on it, it was built in this shop. That's not a marketing line — it's the reason the quality is what it is.

The People

for Engineers.

The Team

Engineers — Fabricators — Field Technicians

Every one of us started the same way — utility work, grunt work, doing whatever needed doing on broadcast productions. Every one of us was an engineer long before anyone called us one. We just had to earn our way out of the shadows first. We've all worked the same shows, built the same compounds, hit the same walls. That shared background is why the gear we build actually works in the field.

When we're not on a show — roughly half the year — we're in the shop. Prototyping, testing, breaking things on purpose, and building whatever the industry needs before it knows it needs it.

Where We're Going

Small but Powerful.
That's the Goal.

The goal isn't to become a corporation. It's to become the most trusted name in show production infrastructure — small enough that every customer knows they're working with people who've stood in their exact shoes, powerful enough that the quality is beyond question.

The roadmap is a focused, intentional team: hardware, software, marketing, and the hands to keep pace with demand. Not a 500-person company chasing a valuation. A tight group of people who genuinely believe in what they're building, are exceptionally good at it, and have the field miles to prove it. A 15–20 person operation where everyone who touches the gear has used the gear.

The products come from the field. The people always have.

Now

Founder-led. Fully in-house. Products and custom builds shipping to productions across the country.

Increased software capability. Stronger marketing presence. Catalog expanding as more field problems get solved.

5 Years

15–20 person team. HW + SW + Marketing + Production. The go-to name for show infrastructure.

Always

Built by people who work the shows. For people who work the shows. That part never changes.
