Advanced Control Systems
Electrical, mechanical and software — because control problems rarely sit neatly in one.
Most systems — vessels, factories, vehicles, energy installations — rely on automation to run efficiently. When it works, operating costs stay down and equipment lasts. When it doesn't, you get inefficiency, unnecessary wear, nuisance trips and operators compensating for what the control system should be handling.
We design complete control systems from scratch, and we step into existing ones that are unreliable, inefficient or just not doing what was promised. Process analysis, control strategy, software, testing and commissioning — the full development cycle, under a single team, across electrical, mechanical and software disciplines. Our experience spans marine, industrial, automotive and energy, to the functional safety standards that apply in each.
The Problem
Automation that doesn't do what was promised
Either it was never quite right, or it used to be and isn't any more. The fix isn't always a full redesign — sometimes it's tuning, sometimes it's rebuilding a subsection, occasionally it's starting again. What matters is figuring out which.
What We Do
Cross-sector experience
Marine, industrial, automotive, energy. Techniques that are well established in one sector are often exactly what's needed in another. That cross-pollination is an advantage — not a novelty.
Full development cycle, under one team
Understand the process. Design the strategy. Build and test the software. Commission it on the real system. Electrical, mechanical and software, handled together so the handoffs don't become failure points.
New systems or fixing what's there
Design a complete system from scratch. Or step in to tune, extend or redesign existing automation that's unreliable, inefficient, or just not delivering. Both are routine — the difference is in the diagnosis.
Across regulatory and safety standards
Maritime class, automotive and industrial functional safety. We work to the standards that apply — not a generic process retro-fitted to whichever industry happens to be paying this time.
Proven through staged testing
Control strategies are validated through model-in-the-loop (MiL), software-in-the-loop (SiL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) — proving behaviour against simulated plant and fault scenarios before anything goes near a real vessel, vehicle or installation. See Test and Validation for how we run it.
