About

About Dajac Inc.

From its humble beginnings at the home of our founder, David Novak, Dajac has been focused on meeting customer’s needs with innovative solutions.

Dajac revolutionized the light testing industry with its first product release, the Osprey. Powered by Dajac’s IntelliAim software, the Osprey gives the operator unprecedented options for fine tuning testing of intensity, color, and aiming.

The next innovation came in the form of a unique I/O module that allowed users to connect automation directly to a standard PC using a USB connection. The Expert I/O 1000 allows a PC to send and receive signals to and from cameras, sensors, and PLCs as well as control the motors used in the automation of headlamp aiming. It is the beating heart of the Osprey system, and is so innovative that it was awarded the runner up of Golden Mousetrap in 2009 by Design News magazine.

Through the years, Dajac has continued to improve and refine its Osprey and Expert I/O line of products to meet the ever increasing demand for precision and reliability of industrial light testing and automation. Regular updates of the IntelliAim software has allowed Dajac to always be one step ahead of the automotive lighting industry as it continues to move in the direction of more elaborate exterior and interior lighting, including animation, and projection.
