Mechatronic drives the development of optimized engineering systems that typically involve some, or all, of the following: Control Algorithms | Software Implementation | Embedded Systems | Electronic Hardware | Hydraulics | Pneumatics | Mechanical Systems Application areas may include: Automotive Electronics | ABS/TCS/Vehicle Stability/Brake/Powertrain Control | Control Systems | IP | Functional Safety How we operate: Ideally we get involved at the inception of a project and are keenly aware of the overall business environment and commercial prospects for the proposed development. We will not hesitate to recommend against proceeding if we believe it is not in the client’s best interest. Generally, we have an agreed hourly rate and can work with the client’s engineering and marketing people where that makes sense. We also have relationships with other engineering service providers and IP Attorneys so we can deliver a comprehensive and effective solution for the client. In many cases, we can leverage engineering systems to create value beyond their nominal function. Value that, otherwise, could not be unlocked economically. That value could be in economy, safety, sustainability, productivity or simply convenience We also provide an expert witness service, particularly for patent infringement cases. In these situations, we like to get involved as early as possible. We can provide a factual basis for a negotiated settlement that minimizes legal costs and protracted court proceedings.
