ORLANDO Fla., --- Diversified Industries, Consulting & Investment Services, Inc., which specializes in design, manufacturing and testing of aerospace and DOD flight and ground critical systems, was recently awarded this month an exclusive license to market NASA’s highly sophisticated SMART software (Systems Maintenance Automated Repair Tasks). The initial target markets will be the commercial aviation, aerospace and defense (A&D) industries.
Martin A. Belson, chief executive officer of Diversified Industries, said NASA’s SMART software tool provides engineers with a uniform, automated problem analysis and repair platform to provide highly improved, accurate and timely delivery of repair, maintenance a and overhaul procedures.
“The SMART platform is a highly detailed software solution that significantly reduces maintenance and repair costs by reducing the time to determine what was previously done, what should be done and to prepare required documentation. It eliminates the need to reinvent the wheel,” Belson said.
“Based on detail independent market analysis performed, we anticipate that the market for SMART technology in the commercial aviation, A&D industries is substantial in the U.S. and overseas: sales in the commercial aviation market could be up to $10 million annually but the opportunity for A&D market may well be in the tens of millions of dollars,” Belson said.
Belson said Diversified Industries licensed the SMART software solution for sale to U.S. and approved international companies.
Diversified Industries is a client company of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program in the Central Florida Research Park in east Orange County.

Real Estate Investment Analyst sees Angel Investment Group as Key to Local Economic Growth
MAITLAND, Fla. --- Local investment in local enterprises is the key to economic growth in Central Florida, says George Livingston, chairman of NAI Realvest in Maitland and a leading and longtime Orlando-area real estate investment analyst.
And Livingston is willing to put his money where his mouth is.
Livingston recently signed on as a founding member of Maximize Angel Investments Orlando, Inc., an angel investment firm that aims to invest in Florida companies with a bright future.
“We are not going to substantially improve the local economy by luring companies here with big tax breaks,” Livingston said.
“Every community in the U.S. is playing that game, and they’re all chasing the same half dozen companies,” Livingston said.
Livingston is convinced a “grow our own” philosophy is the more cost-effective path toward economic development.
“We should be investing in new, innovative approaches in information technology, energy, life sciences, software, clean tech, communications and entertainment,” Livingston said. “Those are sustainable industries, and we have the talent right here in Central Florida to make those industries thrive,” he said.
Livingston said groups like Maximize Angel Investments Orlando, help identify prospective growth companies and track their investment value.
“We have substantial resources right here in Central Florida — at the UCF Business Incubation and GrowFL programs, for example — to identify appropriate startup companies that have high potential for accelerated growth,” Livingston said.
“We also have investment capital. Angel investment networks like Maximize Angel Investments Orlando, puts the capital and mentors together with the entrepreneurs who will lead a new, sustainable economy recovery,” he said.
