The Newest Summit Automation Innovations
We are so excited to share with you some of the innovations we’ve been working on lately! There have been many, including a new 9-function camouflage touchscreen controller, biometrics scanner, a cool way to modernize skylights, and more. Tiffany & Co. – yes, that Tiffany with a famous blue hue named Tiffany Blue® – just debuted a new innovation of ours that allows for spectacular reveals of the company’s beautiful, iconic jewelry.
In this month’s video, I’m sharing the details on these and the other innovative products we’ve got in the pipeline. Check it out!

“Put… The Candle… Back.”
Do you recognize this iconic movie line? Here’s a hint: In this month’s video, PJ mentioned that we currently have pivot hidden bookcases in our lab (an OEM supplied them and we are working on the automation).
It’s from Young Frankenstein! Starring Gene Wilder (Frederick) and Teri Garr (Inga), the plot of this 1974 movie has the famous Dr. Victor Frankenstein’s also-a-doctor grandson, Frederick, inheriting the family’s property located in Transylvania.
While inspecting the house with Inga, his lab assistant and love interest in the movie, they find a bookcase that seems a bit curious. Frederick asks Inga to remove a candle from its wall-mounted holder so he can inspect the bookcase better, and the big secret is revealed. Haven’t seen it or want a refresher? Just click on the image below!
Thank goodness for Summit Automation’s innovations and lab – Pretty soon, you’ll need no candle tricks to access your secret laboratory (or whatever room) through your pivot hidden bookcase!
