Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with Siemens, ABB, Omron, Rockwell, or other automation vendors?
Yes, we integrate platforms like Siemens, Allen-Bradley, ABB, Omron, and others. We choose the right platform based on your production environment, your team’s familiarity, and long-term scalability.
Do you work with Festo, SMC, or other pneumatic equipment suppliers?
Absolutely. We frequently use Festo and SMC components in pneumatic systems including actuators, grippers, and motion systems. These suppliers are trusted for performance and reliability in industrial environments.
What PLC brands and software platforms do you specialize in?
We work with a wide range of PLCs including Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Omron, AutomationDirect, and Schneider Electric.
Can you integrate systems that use different brands or older hardware?
Yes, we often work in mixed-brand environments. For example, we can connect a Siemens PLC to a Rockwell HMI or integrate legacy panels with new equipment. We use networking protocols and conversion strategies to make sure everything works together smoothly.
Do you incorporate Design for Manufacturing into a project’s cost and schedule?

We run DFM checks at every milestone so cost and lead times stay clear and under control.

Can you help us modernize or redesign existing mechanical systems?
Yes. We specialize in reverse engineering and upgrading legacy systems to meet today’s performance, compliance, and manufacturability standards.
Which fabrication methods can you provide, and when do you recommend each?

We design for CNC machining, casting, sheet metal, weldments, injection molding, hydro-forming and composite lay-up. We help you choose the best fit for your geometry, volume and budget based on your unique project requirements.

Which CAD and simulation tools do you use day to day?

Inventor and SolidWorks for modeling; ANSYS, Femap and Nastran for FEA; Ansys Fluent for CFD.

Can you engineer products to meet certifications like CE, FCC, UL, ISO or FDA?

Yes. As part of our process we identify the exact code sets—CE, FCC, UL, ISO, FDA, or sector-specific—that apply to your target market. Those requirements drive the design from day one, and we can oversee and guide you through each step of the certification process.

Our engineers have already delivered compliant hardware for medical devices, marine systems, industrial automation, and defence programmes.

Can you incorporate sustainable or eco-friendly practices into my design?
We specify recyclable metals, bio-based plastics and low-energy processes whenever your goals call for it.
How do you guarantee system reliability and safety?
We begin with a formal risk analysis, validate designs with FEA and CFD, then run Factory Acceptance Tests and Site Acceptance Tests to prove performance under various loads and operating conditions.
