Innovations & Development
Not every engineering problem has an off-the-shelf solution. This service focuses on solving unusual, complex or one-off engineering challenges through practical development work — combining mechanical, electrical, control and automation knowledge to produce workable solutions.
Capability Overview
- Hydraulic cylinder redesigns and reliability improvements
- Bespoke machine modifications
- Custom automation development
- Battery emulator systems using VFD technology
- Process improvement systems
- One-off engineering solutions
- Reliability improvement projects
- Custom control system development
Development Examples
Battery Emulator Systems
Development of battery emulation systems using variable frequency drive technology. These systems replicate battery charge and discharge behaviour for test and development purposes, allowing battery-powered system development without the need for physical battery banks.
Hydraulic Cylinder Redesign
Redesign and improvement of hydraulic cylinder systems where original designs had reliability or performance limitations. Projects have included seal arrangement improvements, bore finish specifications and mounting arrangement modifications to address chronic failure modes.
Bespoke Automation Solutions
Development of custom automation solutions for production processes where standard products do not meet the specific requirements of the application. This includes custom PLC logic, bespoke HMI development and purpose-built control systems.
Have an Unusual Problem?
If you have an engineering challenge that doesn't fit a standard service category, get in touch to discuss it. Many of the most interesting and rewarding engineering projects start with an unusual problem and no obvious solution.
