Engineering data, equipment selection and calculation tools – automated
Engineering teams hold huge amounts of technical data. The value is in applying the right rules to it, consistently and quickly.
Trusted by New Zealand organisations from national insurers to specialist manufacturers.
Equipment specifications, ratings, sizes, materials and field data often sit in spreadsheets and legacy tools, and checking whether a component fits an application can mean hours of manual lookups and calculations.
We turn that engineering knowledge into rule-based Excel tools and custom applications. Load your technical data, apply the selection and validation logic, and get a clear, documented result that shows whether a component suits the application, with the reasoning visible to the engineer who signs it off.
Challenges we see in engineering
- Equipment selection and compatibility checks are manual and slow
- Technical datasheets and ratings live in disconnected spreadsheets
- Engineering calculations depend on one expert's workbook
- Selection rules live in one person's head and are hard to hand over
- Project estimates and reporting are rebuilt for every job

Where AI fits in engineering
AI helps engineers find and compare information; the rules and sign-off stay deterministic and human.
- Extract specifications from manufacturer datasheets into a structured component library
- Suggest candidate components for an engineer to validate against the rules
- Summarise inspection notes and defect reports across assets
Systems we connect
- SAP PM exports
- Maximo exports
- GIS exports
- SQL Server
- SharePoint
- Power BI
We build tools that apply your engineering standards and document the logic used. Final engineering judgement and sign-off stay with your qualified engineers.
Frequently asked questions
Can you turn our existing selection spreadsheet into a proper tool?
Yes. That's a common starting point. We take your current logic, formalise the rules, add validation and make it usable by the wider team.
Can it handle thousands of components and specifications?
Yes. We structure the data as a proper component library and use Power Query, SQL or an app where volume demands it.
Will engineers be able to see why a result was given?
Yes. Every result shows the rules and inputs that produced it.
Can field teams use it?
We can extend it to tablet or web-based field apps.
