We do all that boring, complicated stuff so you don’t have to!
Who are we?
We are currently just a one man band.
I'm Daniel Brant CMSE® MIET, a Controls Engineer with 10+ years experience working mostly in special purpose machinery, but also process automation.
I've done multiple machines and a plethora of plants: simple assembly benches; leak test machines; ostomy bag testing; plastic injected railway sleepers; waste water treatment; and many more!
I've covered a lot of industries including automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical, defence and food.
I've interfaced with dozens (possibly hundreds) of pieces of equipment, from servos and steppers to vision systems, robots and laser markers.
Finally, I've also worked on projects from cradle to grave:
- Quoting and sales concepts
- Writing specifications
- Project management
- Risk Assessment
- Safety Calculations
- Electrical design
- Programming
- Commissioning
- Writing manuals
- Operator training
What's with the name?
I wanted a name that was an actual defined word, so I wouldn't have to spell it down the phone, but I also wanted to name this legacy in honour of my greatest legacy - my sons Elijah (ELI) and Caleb (CAL)!
And the logo?
Well it's a DNA double helix, because it's named after my sons who share my DNA and the shape is helical in nature. It also encompasses the DNA of the business. Born in the Black Country, the birthplace of the first industrial revolution. Innovation, invention, engineering; it’s in our blood! It also lends itself well to being turned into a H and A for Helical Automation, which totally didn't happen by accident midway through the logo design process...
