Intelligent systems for real operations.

We build software, robotics and connected systems that improve how complex work gets done.

How we work
  • Connected and embedded systems

    Connected devices, embedded software and field systems that share reliable operational data.

  • Robotics and controls

    Robotics, control systems, machine perception and automation for physical operations.

  • Applied intelligence

    Applied AI for operational analysis and controlled workflows where accuracy and traceability matter.

Who we work with

Teams that need engineering expertise beyond their own.

Operators, manufacturers and product teams bring us in when the work crosses software, electronics and machines.

Sectors

  • Manufacturing
  • Industrial operations
  • Logistics
  • Hardware product teams

Pricing

How we work.

See how a project runs
  • Technical Discovery

    For an idea to assess, a system to review or a risk to resolve.

    From

    $5,000

    one-off

    • Requirements and current-system review

    • Feasibility and architecture options

    • Risks, dependencies and trade-offs

    • Written recommendation, walked through with you

    • Scoped delivery plan and a quote for the build

    Fixed fee, agreed upfront and paid in full on booking.

  • Engineering Delivery

    For one defined project: a prototype, feature, integration or system build.

    Quoted per project, minimum

    $8,000

    • Agreed scope, price and deliverables

    • Hands-on design and implementation

    • Testing against agreed criteria

    • Weekly progress updates

    • Documentation and handover

    Advance payment, then agreed milestones or capped time. The quote follows a Technical Discovery, or a short call where the scope is already defined.

  • Engineering Partnership

    For products already built or in service that need ongoing engineering.

    From

    $6,000

    / month

    • Monthly priorities and delivery plan

    • Hands-on engineering and development

    • Architecture and design reviews

    • Support for agreed systems

    • Progress, capacity and next-step report

    Monthly in advance. Each month's work is agreed up front; anything beyond it moves to the next month or is quoted as a project.

Early-stage teams are welcome here. Move from Technical Discovery into your first build within 90 days and the Discovery fee can credit against your first project.

Prices ex GST. Hardware and fabrication costs are quoted separately and approved before purchase.
