We are specialists in mechatronics engineering, a diverse discipline integrating mechanical, electrical, electronic and software engineering.
We provide a wide range of services to help you navigate and operate in today's world of smart devices.
GOAL
Our objective is to make technology more accessible to SMEs. Being a startup ourselves, we want to help other businesses grow by lending our expertise to your application.
We see the potential of automated technology/solutions beyond the factory floor of global manufacturers and aim to provide affordable solutions for budding enterprises.
COMPANY
We are a British company based in Cumbria. Most of our services can be offered remotely, however we can also work on-site as required in Northern England/South West Scotland or further afield upon request.
Streamline your activities with automated control and benefit from repeatable, high-quality results.

2D Civil Temporary Works Designs
A temporary works design is a necessity for many civil projects and having one could mean the difference
between being awarded a contract or not. If you are a smaller subcontractor lacking an in-house draughtsman
or simply the man-hours then we can help draft designs on your behalf.

3D design/rendering/animation
The first milestone in the prototyping is the generation of computer designs and schematics. This process tends to be iterative, meaning that the design is reviewed by the client and project team and changes are made where necessary before prototypes are built.
