on the floor full-suite engineering· supply · controls · software · AI

Your line has five vendors. It needs one engineer.

Emdemex is a full-suite engineering firm: industrial supplies, custom software, mobile apps, sensor and automation integration, and AI process automation — specified, wired, coded, and stocked by the same bench. One contract, one number to call, one team that can’t point at anybody else.

t+00 · the problem

Five vendors, one line, nobody’s fault.

06:12Line 3 stops. The vibration alarm nobody has trusted since 2023. Shift lead calls it in.
06:19Emdemex is on the line — the engineer who wired the sensor wrote the software. Root cause in forty minutes.
08:40The replacement bearing comes off your own consignment shelf. No PO, no expedite fee.
FRIThe cell gets an interlock so the same failure can’t run to destruction again.
Q3Line 3 is the reason you don’t reforecast. Nobody writes a memo about it.

The advantage isn’t better vendors. It’s fewer seams between them.

Most plants buy engineering in pieces: a distributor for parts, an integrator for controls, a dev shop for software, an agency for the app, and a consultancy for the AI pilot that never shipped. Each one is competent. None of them owns the space in between — and that is exactly where your downtime lives.

Emdemex is built the other way around. One bench holds all five disciplines, so the sensor spec, the PLC logic, the database schema, the technician’s screen, and the spare on the shelf are decided by people who sit ten feet apart — and who answer the same phone at 2 a.m.

one job — start to signed-off

Follow one job from a noise to a fix.

This is the whole firm, told through one bearing. Six steps here — and every one of them is a different discipline you would otherwise have had to hire separately.

01 · industrial supplies

06:12. A gearbox starts telling you something.

The vibration sensor on GB-3 is one we specified, sourced, and mounted — along with the cable, the gland, and the spare sitting on your shelf under the same part number. Industrial supply isn’t a catalog to us; it’s the first component of the system we’re about to build.

02 · manufacturing integration

The signal leaves the machine for the first time.

We map the tag in the PLC, publish it over OPC UA through an edge gateway, and land it in a historian that keeps every sample. Thirty-year-old iron, modern protocol. No rip-and-replace, no proprietary cloud you can’t leave.

03 · software development

Your system decides what it means.

The application we wrote for your plant compares the spectrum against the last eighteen months of this exact gearbox — not a generic threshold out of a vendor manual. Outer-race harmonic, third occurrence, trending. Severity scored, evidence attached.

04 · AI process automation

The work order writes itself.

An agent opens the WO, pulls the correct bearing from the BOM, checks it against on-hand stock, reserves the window against the production schedule, and routes it to the tech who is certified on that gearbox. A human approves it. Nobody retypes anything.

05 · the record

A work order, not a hunch.

Asset, fault code, evidence, part number, scheduled window, and the engineer who signs it off — written once, queryable forever. Next quarter’s reliability review argues with data instead of memory.

06 · mobile app development

06:41. It’s in the technician’s hand.

The job, the torque spec, the drawing, the bin location — on the phone already in their pocket, working with no signal in the back of the building. They close it out with a photo. The historian, the CMMS, and the stock count all update themselves.

Total elapsed: twenty-nine minutes.
Vendors to coordinate: one.

the services

One bench. Five disciplines.

Hire us by discipline — start with whichever one is costing you most this quarter. The bench doesn’t split: the engineer who specifies the sensor talks to the one who writes the software, because they sit ten feet apart.

in every engagement

The bench underneath

Whatever you hire us for, the whole bench is on the job.

  • Licensed engineers on every project
  • Drawings, source code and specs handed over — you own them
  • On-site commissioning, FAT and SAT
  • Spare-parts continuity for everything we install
  • 24/7 escalation on anything running in production

the second project

Every job makes the next one cheaper.

The first engagement pays for the learning curve — your drawings, your tag names, your obsolete part numbers, the press that only starts on the second try. After that we begin where the last job ended, not at another discovery call.

◆We never re-learn your plant. Tag maps, P&IDs and as-builts stay live in our hands, so the next integration starts with them instead of a week of site survey.
◆One part number, one source. What we install, we stock. The spare is cross-referenced the day the sensor goes in — not the day it fails.
◆You own everything we write. Ladder, repos, schematics, schemas. No lock-in, no license hostage — we just expect to be the ones you call back.

how we work

Run like a commissioning plan.

Four phases, fixed deliverables, and a named engineer whose mobile number you get on day one. No discovery theater, no change-order ambush.

01 · walk

Walk the floor

We show up, follow the process end to end, and leave with a scope that names machines, tags and part numbers — not “solutions.” The walk is free; the scope is yours either way.

02 · engineer

Design it once

Drawings, data model, bill of materials and acceptance criteria, approved before anyone buys anything. You sign off on what “done” means, in writing, at a price.

03 · build

Build, wire and prove it

Panels built, code written, sensors installed, apps shipped — then FAT, SAT and a punch list closed on your floor with your people watching.

04 · support

Stay on the hook

Spares stocked, documentation handed over, escalation path live. We answer at 2 a.m. because we’re the ones who wired it — and we’d rather not be woken up either.

engagements

Hire the bench you actually need.

Emdemex works three ways. All of them come with the same engineers, the same documentation, and the same phone number — the only thing that changes is how much of the plant we’re standing behind.

project

One job, fixed scope.

A retrofit, an app, an integration, a stocking program. Scoped on your floor, priced before we start, warrantied when we leave.

  • Fixed scope and written acceptance criteria
  • Named project engineer
  • Drawings and source handed over
  • Workmanship warranty on everything we touch

embedded bench

Your engineering department, on retainer.

A standing block of hours across every discipline — pull whoever this week needs: controls, software, mobile, supply.

  • Monthly hours across all five disciplines
  • Priority scheduling and expedites
  • Consignment stock for your critical spares
  • Quarterly reliability and roadmap review
  • 24/7 escalation on anything we built
Talk to an engineer

full suite

Sensor to shelf, under one contract.

We stand behind the outcome across the plant — supply, controls, software, apps and the AI on top — with uptime commitments on the lines that matter.

  • All five disciplines, one contract, one invoice
  • Resident engineers on site
  • Vendor-managed inventory across your critical BOM
  • Uptime commitments on covered lines
Design the program

Everything quoted in writing before work starts. Adding a discipline later takes a phone call, not a new vendor — the bench is already on site.

Something on your floor is still being done by hand.

Tell us which line, which part, or which spreadsheet. We’ll walk it with you and come back with a scope, a price, and the name of the engineer who’ll do the work.
