Engineering Services For Integrators & Machine Builders

Engineering capacity for complex automation projects.

Kotec supports system integrators and machine builders with process engineering, mechanical design, 3D CAD, simulation, controls engineering, software development, and commissioning support.

We work as an extension of your project team, adding principal-led specialist capacity without competing for the turnkey system scope.

Principal-led engineering support for the companies delivering automation systems, with additional engineering capacity available when project scope requires it.

Process Engineering

Sequence, flow, station layout, and operating assumptions.

Mechanical & 3D CAD

Layouts, fixtures, EOAT, guarding, and design packages.

Simulation & Digital Validation

Robot simulation, virtual commissioning, digital twins, and cycle review.

Controls Hardware

Electrical, fluid power, safety, I/O, panels, and networks.

Controls Software

PLC, HMI, robot interfaces, diagnostics, and industrial code.

Commissioning Support

Installation, startup, debug, handover, and recovery support.

Engineer reviewing a robotic simulation project in a design office. Engineer working on machine layout and mechanical drawings at a workstation. Automation engineering team in a collaborative office environment. Engineer reviewing electrical design drawings across dual monitors.

Kotec supports automation delivery teams with practical engineering work across process, mechanical, simulation, controls, software, and commissioning disciplines.

Support where automation projects usually tighten up.

Kotec is most valuable when engineering workload increases, deadlines compress, or specialist skills are needed to keep an automation project moving.

Process Definition

Process is not fully defined.

The production sequence, flow, stations, or cycle-time assumptions need engineering before detailed design starts.

Mechanical Load

Mechanical design capacity is stretched.

Layouts, fixtures, tooling, EOAT, or design packages need additional engineering capacity.

Pre-Site Validation

Simulation and validation are needed before site.

Reach, access, cycle time, collision, controls behavior, or digital twin assumptions need validation before installation.

Controls Workload

Controls workload is increasing.

Electrical, fluid, safety, I/O, panels, PLC/HMI, diagnostics, or industrial software need extra capacity.

Commissioning Peak Load

Commissioning workload is compressed.

Installation, startup, debug, handover, or recovery work needs experienced engineering support.

Engineering support for delivery teams that need practical capacity.

Kotec supports system integrators, machine builders, and automation delivery teams when project workload increases or specialist engineering support is needed. We work inside your existing standards, tools, schedules, and delivery structure while your team keeps the turnkey customer relationship.

System integrators

Principal-led engineering support for defined work packages, overflow tasks, and urgent technical issues.

Machine builders

Additional engineering capacity across process, mechanical, controls, simulation, and commissioning phases.

Turnkey automation suppliers

Non-competing engineering support that works inside the client delivery model without taking over project ownership.

Controls teams

Support for PLC, HMI, diagnostics, interfaces, issue review, and release pressure points.

Robot simulation teams

Focused help with robot reach, access, cycle review, virtual commissioning preparation, and digital validation work.

Commissioning teams

Extra engineering capacity for startup debug, issue closure, handover readiness, and recovery support.

Specialist engineering services for automation delivery teams.

Kotec supports the engineering disciplines that integrators and machine builders rely on to deliver complex automation projects, with deliverables shaped around real project constraints rather than generic capability claims.
