Practical engineering for manufacturing and business systems.
Ardelis Innovations helps manufacturers and growing businesses solve real problems — on the shop floor and in the systems behind it. We design, build and support automation, ERP and the software that connects them.
Two engineers.
One straightforward promise.
We're a B2B services and product development company built on decades of hands-on work in industrial automation, production engineering and business systems. No layers, no hand-offs — the people you talk to are the people who do the work.
If a problem sits between machines, software and the way a business runs, that's exactly where we like to be.
Services & offerings
From the PLC on the line to the ERP in the office — and everything that should talk in between.
Industrial automation
PLC programming, machine software and robotics — from new lines to upgrades of running production, commissioned on site.
Business systems & ERP
Implementation, extension and support of ERP for manufacturers — configured around how you actually work, not the other way round.
Systems integration
Connecting ERP, machines and third-party tools so data flows without retyping — one source of truth across your operation.
Production & process engineering
Production systems, layout and flow: finding the bottleneck, sizing capacity and making improvements stick.
Custom software & tools
Purpose-built applications, dashboards and engineering tools where off-the-shelf software falls short.
Product development
From concept to manufacturable product — mechanical design, prototyping and preparing for serial production.
Plain talk, careful engineering
Every engagement is different, but the shape is the same: understand the problem properly, then build the simplest thing that solves it well.
Listen first
We start on your floor and in your numbers — understanding the problem before proposing anything.
Design the simplest fix
A clear proposal in plain language: scope, cost and what it will change. No jargon, no padding.
Build and prove it
We do the engineering ourselves and test against the real process, not a slide deck.
Stand by it
Documentation, training and support after go-live. If something wobbles, you call us and we fix it.
Things we've done before Ardelis
A few highlights from the partners' careers.
Programmed and commissioned automated process lines across Europe for a global process-engineering group — Siemens PLCs, drives and the software around them.
Guided manufacturers through ERP-centred digitalisation — turning spreadsheets and tribal knowledge into systems the whole company can run on.
Implemented, extended and supported Epicor Kinetic ERP for manufacturing companies — from configuration to custom integrations.
Delivered machine and robot software for demanding production environments in the food and process industries.
Production and systems engineering in real plants: layout, flow and capacity work that had to hold up on the floor, not just on paper.
Automated business workflows connecting ERP, logistics and finance systems — removing retyping and the errors that come with it.
