Five sectors where measuring and automating pays back
Sectors where the same problems come up again and again, and where measuring and automating has a payback you can calculate from your own data.
01Industrial retrofit · Monitoring · Control
Automating existing factories
Many companies run machines that still work, but with no connectivity, no monitoring and no efficient control. Replacing them is expensive; leaving them as they are is expensive too: stoppages nobody sees, consumption nobody measures and spare parts that no longer exist. Meanwhile, industrial automation is moving into a phase of deeper integration with data and autonomous systems.
What we offer
- Modernisation of machines and controls
- Data acquisition and sensors
- In-house controllers
- Predictive maintenance
- Remote monitoring
Why it makes sense
We start by integrating off-the-shelf components. The problems that repeat from one plant to the next are the ones we turn into our own hardware and software.
02Motors · Pumps · Compressors · Energy management
Energy efficiency and industrial electrification
Industry accounts for around 40 % of the world’s final energy consumption, and a large share goes into motors, pumps and compressors working harder than they need to. Optimising motors, processes and energy management remains one of the most direct ways to cut costs.
What we offer
- Electrical monitoring per machine and per line
- Motor speed control
- Pumping optimisation
- Detection of abnormal consumption
- Energy management systems
Why it makes sense
Savings can be measured. Every proposal is justified by consumption, operating hours and a payback calculated on your data, not on catalogue estimates.
03Desalination · Treatment · Irrigation · Reuse
Water, pumping and treatment
Water is essential to cities, agriculture and industry. Automating pumping, filtration, dosing and leak detection raises concrete, measurable technical problems.
What we offer
- Pumping station controllers
- Pressure and flow monitoring
- Automated dosing
- Alarms and telemetry
Why it makes sense
Technical specialisation with solutions that can be replicated from one site to another and from one country to another.
Worth bearing in mind
Each application has its own reliability and safety requirements. We take them on at the design stage, not at the end.
04Custom machines · Jigs and fixtures · Prototypes · Spares
Special machinery and advanced manufacturing
Many companies need a small machine, a test rig, an assembly fixture or an adaptation that does not justify buying a complete piece of industrial equipment.
What we offer
- CAD design
- Additive manufacturing
- Machined components through partner workshops
- Control electronics
- Compact machines for one specific task
Why it makes sense
This is where developing our own products fits best.
Worth bearing in mind
3D printing shortens development, but it does not replace CNC, metal or other processes when mechanical requirements call for them.
05Hydroponics · Fertigation · Climate control · Sensing
Controlled-environment agriculture
It brings together automation, sensors, electronics, pumping and module manufacturing. It makes most sense where water, space or climate control limit production.
What we offer
- Dosing modules
- pH and conductivity control
- Automated irrigation
- Monitoring systems
Why it makes sense
It lends itself to standardised equipment.
Worth bearing in mind
Each farm’s profitability depends heavily on energy, crop, scale and selling prices. We look at that with you before proposing anything.
