Onsite and Reverse Engineering Services
ONSITE ENGINEERING
The R-V Industries Engineering Services division exists to create solutions for engineering gaps in industrial companies. Our focus on customer needs has driven us to create our On-Site Engineering service offer to our customers because it allows our customer to no longer
- Suffer through project delays when in-house staff is overextended due to seasonal or business growth needs
- Take on extended staffing costs and layoff risks to meet unexpected project needs associated with business development
THE SOLUTION
With a staff of 20 designing and engineering professionals, R-V is capable of providing onsite staffing to fill engineering stopgaps and project delays at a shorter time frame than hiring in-house staff with the daily or weekly dependability of onsite visibility.
The R-V solution also provides year after year consistency, as our company has been operating since 1974 with an average employee lifespan greater than 10 years. When compared to temp agencies, which have high rates of staffing turnover, working with R-V reduces start up and training time frequently seen with temp agency hires.

Filling and Agitation Machine: An R-V Project
An international drug development company, located in Pennsylvania, came to R-V for the turnkey design and manufacture of an agitation machine to streamline their manufacturing process. The product mixture needs to be loaded and agitated as part of the production process, and the engineering services team created a new machine to blend loading and agitation steps into one machine.
This turnkey project was Factory Acceptance Tested in our shop to ensure the machine’s success. In addition, the machine exceed customer performance expectations while coming in under budget with on-time delivery.
