Why Choose 4M Controls?

We're a hands-on, engineer-led team. Four things set us apart.

Engineers, not consultants

We design the systems, write the software, commission the hardware and stay with projects through to in-service support.

Electrical, controls and software — one team

Engineering problems rarely sit neatly in one discipline. We cover all of them rather than hand off between them.

Cross-sector experience, applied

Marine, automotive, industrial, energy. Techniques proven in one sector routinely solve problems in another.

Standards that actually apply

From IEC and ISO to DNV and LR — broad experience applying the standards that matter across marine, automotive and industrial work.

Selected Engagements

Our customers come back to us project after project — across motorsport, marine, energy storage and heat-pump development.

What We Do

Eight core capabilities, delivered by a single team — from feasibility through to in-service support.

Marine Electrification & Hybrid Systems

Power, energy and safety integration for hybrid and battery-electric vessels - retrofits and newbuilds.

Power Quality Analysis

Modelling, onboard monitoring and data analysis to find the fast electrical events standard instruments miss.

Advanced Control Systems

Control Strategy, software and commissioning across marine, industrial, automotive and energy sectors.

System Integration

Getting equipment from different suppliers to work together reliably - with functional safety built in.

Software Development

Industrial PLC and embedded controller software - maintainable, well-documented, properly tested.

Test and Validation

MiL, SiL and HiL testing in our dedicated facility - finding problems in the lab before they turn into expensive surprises in service.

Energy Storage & Battery Development

Cell selection, safety architecture and supervisory control for vessels, vehicles and stationary installations.

Cybersecurity

Threat analysis, recommendations and management frameworks for automotive, marine and industrial systems.

Industries We Work In

Cross-sector experience — solutions from one industry often turn out to be exactly what's needed in another.

Energy Storage

Automotive

Motor Sport
