ABOUT
NovusWorks is the mechanical engineering consulting firm Minneapolis industries have relied on to create innovative solutions to increase efficiency and streamline productivity. I provide comprehensive services for advanced manufacturing, process development, custom equipment and product design needs.
NovusWorks was built on a foundation of fifteen years of design experience creating unique, one of a kind machines primarily for medical device companies. These projects ranged from simple bench top systems to multi-axis robotic work-cells and integrated production lines. The medical manufacturing industry combines process, material, and precision constraints verging on the exotic; and every project, even “repeat” builds, had its own challenges and surprises. Nearly every project had far more unknowns and variables than engineers are normally comfortable with and that is a crucial hurdle for most customers.
Many manufacturing process projects are delayed or abandoned because of the resources needed to define them accurately, or the inability to answer a few fundamental questions. The years of experience dealing with unique challenges has not given us all the answers, but it has helped us to focus on asking better questions. Because of this, NovusWorks has become the automation engineering consulting firm Minneapolis businesses trust to formulate creative solutions to unique challenges.
All projects start with a conversation
I have over twenty years of experience in building custom equipment for manufacturing medical devices, electronics, industrial applications, and sheet metal fabrication. Whether you are from a large corporation or you may have an idea to discuss, I can help with development, manufacturing, design, prototyping and wrangling the unknowns. There are always unknowns!
Concept Development
It can start with a sketch or an idea. Concept development can include a feasibility analysis or a more detailed research study.
Prototypes
Sometimes the only way to evaluate a concept is to build a prototype. A good prototype should have enough detail to answer questions that are hard to quantify, but simple enough to allow for iteration if necessary.
Hardware and Equipment Development
I only commit to what I can guarantee. Before any metal is cut the scope of the work will be defined. This includes if additional resources are necessary for a successful project. Using an accepted concept as a reference, I can bring your concept to reality.
Confidentiality
Just about everything I have ever built is proprietary and confidential. Trade secrets and know-how are the critical knowledge that companies rely on to be competitive. Customer confidentiality is a routine part of any project.
