OUR CAPABILITIES
Bespoke Engineering Systems from Sensor to Software
We combine measurement, automation, control and software expertise to solve engineering challenges that off-the-shelf products cannot.
Key Engineering Solutions can support a focused technical study, develop a proof of concept, upgrade an existing system or deliver a complete commissioned solution.
What Can We Help You Build?
Our projects often combine several of these capabilities into one integrated system.
Test & Measurement Systems
Purpose-built systems that acquire reliable data, automate test procedures and give engineers clear, repeatable results.
- Data acquisition and instrumentation
- Automated test sequences and reporting
- Sensor integration and synchronisation
- Production, laboratory and field systems
LabVIEW & Engineering Software
Maintainable software that connects specialist hardware, guides users and turns technical processes into dependable tools.
- LabVIEW and TestStand development
- Application modernisation and upgrades
- Hardware drivers and communications
- Installers, deployment and support
Automation & Control
Control and automation solutions that improve consistency, safety, efficiency and visibility across equipment and processes.
- Real-time and embedded control
- PID, model-based and advanced control
- Process and test-rig automation
- System identification and optimisation
Machine Vision & Image Analysis
Integrated imaging systems that capture consistent images and extract measurements, features and quality information.
- Camera, lens and illumination integration
- Synchronised image and sensor acquisition
- Inspection and measurement algorithms
- AI-assisted classification and analysis
Data Analysis & Intelligent Tools
Tools that convert complex engineering data into reliable metrics, visualisations, reports and actionable information.
- Signal processing and algorithm development
- Dashboards, databases and reporting
- Applied AI and machine learning
- Traceable data and analysis workflows
Robotics & Technology Development
Multidisciplinary development for novel products, research platforms and systems that bring physical and digital technologies together.
- Proof-of-concept and prototype development
- Robotics and mechatronic systems
- Feasibility studies and technical roadmaps
- Research collaboration and funded innovation
Flexible Support at Every Stage
You do not need a finished specification before speaking to us. We can help define the requirement and identify the most sensible next step.
1. Discover
Clarify the problem, risks, users, interfaces and success criteria.
2. Prove
Reduce uncertainty through feasibility work, simulation or a prototype.
3. Develop
Build and test the integrated hardware, software and analysis solution.
4. Deploy
Commission the system, train users and provide ongoing support.
Experience Across Demanding Sectors
We transfer ideas and engineering methods between industries while respecting the standards, risks and practical constraints of each application.
Our work spans healthcare and medical technology, rail measurement, energy and heating, advanced manufacturing, consumer products, scientific research and other specialist engineering environments.
A Useful First Conversation
