Background & experience
Mechanova is led by a chartered mechanical engineer with extensive experience delivering complex electromechanical systems in industrial environments. This experience includes working within system integrator teams and on bespoke automation projects, with a strong focus on buildability, integration, and real-world constraints. That background informs a pragmatic approach to design, shaped by hands-on involvement in manufacturing, build, and commissioning activities, and an understanding of where automation projects typically succeed or fail.
How we work
Mechanova takes a pragmatic, engineering-led approach to project delivery. Work is structured around clear requirements, defined interfaces, and early identification of risk, with design decisions made to support buildability, integration, and long-term reliability. Clear communication, ownership of technical decisions, and practical trade-offs are central to how projects are delivered.
Contract & collaboration mindset
Engagements range from short-term contract support embedded within client teams to clearly defined, independent work packages. Mechanova works closely with internal engineering teams, system integrators, suppliers, and manufacturing partners to ensure designs integrate cleanly into existing automation, build, and installation workflows. Projects that are primarily branding, industrial design, or consumer product–led are generally outside the scope of work.
What Mechanova is (and isn’t)
Mechanova focuses on technically demanding automation systems and bespoke machinery where mechanical design, motion, and integration must work reliably in real production environments. This is not concept styling or consumer product design. It is engineering for systems that must be built, installed, and operated.
Our values
• Practical engineering focused on reliability • Clear, direct communication • Ownership and accountability • Design driven by real-world build and integration constraints

FAQs
Typical projects include automation equipment, robotic subsystems, motion and pneumatic systems, and specialist or low-volume machinery that require reliable electro-mechanical integration.
We work with automation and robotics companies, SMEs building specialist equipment, R&D teams needing extra expertise, hardware startups, and independent founders or technical leads.
The earlier the better. Mechanova is most effective when involved early, helping shape concepts before key mechanical and integration decisions are fixed. Support can also be added later as systems become more complex or move toward build and production.
Yes, the consultancy helps with rapid functional prototypes, test rigs, design refinement through testing, and production‑ready CAD, drawings, and BOMs.
Projects usually follow a structured process: defining requirements and constraints, developing concept architecture, delivering detailed mechanical and electrical design, supporting prototyping and testing, then supplying production‑ready outputs.
Yes, we often supplement in‑house engineers with specialist experience in mechanisms, tolerances, integration, and real‑world constraints when bandwidth or niche expertise is limited.
