The Rare Combination
Most stop at the drawing. We take it to the machine — and secure it.
Industrial-design shops make things look good but can't make them work. Software firms can't touch hardware. Almost nobody spans the whole thing: mechanical → electronics → control → embedded software → cybersecurity. That full stack is exactly what a modern smart, connected product needs — and it's the one ASi is built on. When your product has a motor, a sensor, a circuit board and a network connection, you don't want four vendors pointing at each other. You want the engineers who understand all of it.
What We Do
Design, prove it, then build it.
The full path from concept to a product that can be made — with the simulation in the middle that saves you from building the wrong thing.
Product design & 3D CAD
Concept development and detailed 3D mechanical design in industry-standard CAD — parts, assemblies and the drawings a workshop can actually build from.
Engineering simulation
Structural (FEA), fluid and thermal (CFD), motion and kinematics — so you find out whether a design holds up on screen, before you spend money making it.
Electronics, control & embedded
Sensors, actuators, motors, control logic and embedded/PLC software — the intelligence that turns a mechanism into a product that senses and acts.
Prototyping & 3D printing
Bringing designs into the physical world for testing and iteration — 3D-printed and machined prototypes, with specialised fabrication handled through vetted partners.
Design for manufacture (DFM)
Refining the design so it can be produced reliably and affordably — materials, tolerances, assembly and cost engineered in, not discovered later.
Smart & connected products
IoT connectivity, data and dashboards — and, crucially, the OT/ICS-grade security to make sure a connected product can't be turned against its owner.
The Path
Idea → product, in deliberate steps.
Consulting & Straight Talk
Building it yourself? Get the engineering right first.
A lot of good product ideas die because a design flaw or a manufacturing reality wasn't caught until it was expensive. If you (or your team) are developing a product, we consult on the parts that carry the risk — feasibility, design review, simulation-led validation, and product architecture — the same independent-oversight discipline we bring to AI and security. And we're honest about the line: our edge is the engineering design, simulation and integration that make a product actually work; for specialised tooling and high-volume manufacturing we bring in the right fabrication partners rather than pretend to be a factory.
Who It's For
Ideas that need to become things.
Founders & hardware startups
You have a product idea and need it engineered from concept to something you can prototype, protect and pitch.
Manufacturers & industry
You need a new product, a redesign, or simulation to validate a change — without gambling on the first build.
Industrial & OT operations
Custom equipment, automation and connected machinery — designed by engineers who also understand IEC 62443 security.
Common Questions
Straight answers.
Do you actually make physical products, or just design them?
Both, honestly framed. We design, simulate and develop the product, and we build prototypes to test it. For specialised tooling or high-volume manufacturing we work with vetted fabrication partners — our strength is the engineering that makes it work and manufacturable, and we're upfront about where a specialist factory does the production.
Why does simulation matter — can't you just build and test?
You can, but it's slow and expensive. Simulation (FEA, CFD, motion) lets us find out whether a design is strong enough, cool enough and moves correctly on screen — catching the costly problems before a single part is cut. It's how you get to a working prototype in fewer, cheaper iterations.
What makes a mechatronics background different?
Mechatronics is the deliberate combination of mechanical, electronic, control and software engineering. For any product that senses, moves or connects, that combination is the whole game — and pairing it with cybersecurity means a connected product is designed to be safe, not just clever.
Can you secure a connected/IoT product too?
Yes — that's a core reason clients come to us rather than a pure design shop. We design the product and secure it, aligned to IEC 62443 for industrial systems, so a smart product can't become an open door. See penetration testing and cyber defence.
