Computer Development Systems

Who Are We?
Computer Development Systems is the Research and Development division of Lessing Research Laboratories (LRLabs). Specialising in communication hardware and software, our main line of expertise lies in our suite of products designed for communications between CNC controls and PC's. Our highly successful CNCTalk and MultiTalk software made us market leaders in this field, and the FlexTalk &trade, is continuing to keep us there. The latest and most recent addition to our product range is the CDS JobTracking System, as well as the Wireless FlexTalk &trade.

Computer Development Systems was founded in 1986 to satisfy the need for a reliable, capable means of communicating with CNC controls via an automated interface. The CNCTalk product was the result. The entire product, both software and hardware was develped in-house, and proved highly successful. CNCTalk was later superceded by MultiTalk in 1994, an enhanced version with additional features, and also based on the DOS operating system. In 1997, FlexTalk &trade was introduced, based on the Linux operating system, to take advantage of Linux's superior multitasking abilities and its stability. The CNCTalk product for Windows was released in June 2004. The Wireless FlexTalk system is soon to be released. The CDS JobTracking system, is the latest and most recent new addtion to the CDS product range. The CDS Jobtracking system, also based on the Linux operating system, tracks the progress of jobs through the workshop/factory. Data captured with the JobTracking system can be manipulated with report writing/database tools or imported into accounting or manufacturing systems.
