Martin Paul Hill CEng founded MPH Technical Consultancy in 2018 to provide client services due to the increasing engineering skills gap and shortages
MPH Technical Consultancy assists and collaborates with clients, provides technical support, and refines the design and development of products.
The range of services we offer spans electronic, electrical, software, and mechanical design disciplines. The rationale is to align with clients who want to outsource or require a turnkey solution (effectively design through to manufacture). This plays to the utilisation of distributed resources and lean working.
Our specialist skills cover Electric Motor Technology in particular. We have built these skills over 30+ years of industry experience, working for blue-chip companies using or designing motor control systems.
With the trend toward motor + battery-powered products, the focus is on efficiency and extended time between charging. Expert modes of operation and system refinements come into play, and this is where our knowledge across different applications can add value and make a difference to the overall design competitiveness. In our experience, customers transitioning from one motor type to another, or those wanting to develop their control hardware and firmware, are known to benefit from this service.
We have also developed sensing, wireless (including Android App), and safety sub-systems to enhance the motor control, and meet other project requirements.
Supplementary services include training and professional speaking, which is aimed at self sufficiency provision and/or knowledge transfer and education.
The fact that we use advanced manufacturing processes, industry standard design and system simulation software enables us to rapidly turnaround initial concept/prototype designs. This is complemented with the use of goal-centric project management methods.
EMC pre-compliance testing/reports can be carried out in our lab and we recommend this is done at various stages of a project.
Our experience has aligned with mobility, medical and industrial automation applications using one or dual motors respectively. We relish integrating brushless motors with controllers and power sources to form intelligent systems, especially as this is a prevalent trend/market need.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for an initial, no-obligation discussion about your requirements.
