When you need more than just an electrician
Some problems need an engineer on site before anyone lifts a tool: power distribution that's run out of headroom, a process that bottlenecks the whole plant, machinery that needs to comply before it can run, an automation idea that needs a feasibility answer. Mobile Automation provides hands-on electrical engineering consultation across Victoria — site-based assessments and practical recommendations, not cookie-cutter reports.
What we assess
- Power distribution and capacity — load studies, switchboard condition, supply upgrades and staged plans for growth
- Control system health — obsolete PLC/SCADA risk, spares exposure, migration roadmaps
- Automation feasibility — where robotics or automation genuinely pays, with honest numbers either way
- Energy efficiency — metering, VSD opportunities and demand management that actually stack up
- Compliance and risk — machine safety, hazardous areas and standards gaps, prioritised by real risk
Advice you can act on — from a firm that can also do the work
Our recommendations come with budgets, staging and constructability already considered, because the people writing them also deliver projects. Use the report to brief any contractor you like — but most clients find it convenient that the firm that found the problem can also fix it, from engineering through electrical, mechanical and robotics.
Frequently asked questions
Is the consultation independent if you also sell the solution?
Our reports are engineering documents you can hand to any contractor — itemised, standards-referenced and defensible. We win the follow-on work by being right, not by being the only option.
What does an engineering assessment cost?
Scoped to the question: a focused single-issue site assessment is typically a day or two of engineering; plant-wide studies are quoted after a walk-through. Outline the problem and we'll scope the engagement with you.
Which industries do you consult to?
Manufacturing, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, water, mining/quarrying and industrial processing across Victoria — the same industries we've serviced since 1987.
