Selected work

Real products, real deployments, real years in the field.

A selection of the work we can talk about. Across water treatment, agritech, medical devices, hospitality tech, IoT and assistive technology - from concept and clinical trials to production runs in the thousands.

ArcStation

Brought in to rescue a failing vendor, then contracted to design ArcAqua's flagship industrial ozone sanitation system from scratch. CE certified first time, hundreds of units deployed, still the backbone of the business a decade on.

SmartSpreader

Nine years, five product generations, still active. What began as a simple GPS speed-control problem grew into a full precision-agriculture platform - electronics, firmware, mobile, web and cloud - that BMEC still designs and maintains.

Red Ant Onion Harvester

BMEC developed the steering control system for Red Ant's onion harvester - the control that keeps the trailed machine tracking true down the row so its lifting gear stays centred on the crop.

Draught Guardian

A beer-tap monitoring startup came to us for a modest hardware revision. We challenged the brief, re-architected the product, eliminated its biggest cost, and cut unit cost by roughly 10x.

Simba Pediatric Bed

A medical-device startup had a compelling concept for a paediatric bed but no path to manufacture. We provided the engineering backbone - 3D CAD, tolerance analysis, manufacturing drawings and CE submission. Parts fit first time; the device is in production.

QMAX

A permanent implant for the treatment of glaucoma - taken from concept through prototyping, IP protection and pre-clinical and clinical device production. Currently in human-stage trials.

HSBP

The hermetically sealed breast platform behind a screening device capable of simultaneous X-ray and ultrasound imaging - concept, prototyping, IP, electromechanical design and optical systems integration.

Timeline

A digital hourglass for the neurodiverse community - taken end to end, from cloud services and a mobile app through electronics, firmware, manufacturing, assembly and distribution. Three years in market.

AquaNode

An IoT water-tank monitoring solution well ahead of its time - electronic design, PCB layout, production and assembly, industrial design and enclosure prototyping. It was our introduction to the Espressif ecosystem.
