Root Cause Analysis
Systematic investigation of failures, intermittents, and performance issues — finding the actual cause rather than treating the symptom and watching the same problem return three weeks later.
Reliability
Engineering reliablerobotics systems.
Root-cause analysis, embedded systems integration, and robotics controls programming across Codesys, EtherCAT, and UDP. The depth required when intermittents and reliability issues need to actually get solved.

Capabilities and scope.
Embedded Systems Integration
Hardware and software integration across robotics and automation platforms — controllers, sensors, firmware, and communication layers. The seam between disciplines is where most reliability problems live.
Robotics Controls
Programming and integration across modern controls stacks: Codesys, EtherCAT, UDP, and custom communication protocols. Depth where it matters most for system reliability.
How We Work
A clear working process.
Step 01
Reproduce the Problem
Failures you cannot reproduce, you cannot fix. We instrument the system to capture the failure mode reliably before chasing causes — most reliability investigations waste weeks skipping this step.
Step 02
Investigate the System
Mechanical, electrical, firmware, and protocol-level analysis. Root cause sits at the seams between disciplines more often than within any one of them — investigations need to cross those boundaries.
Step 03
Verify the Fix
Test that the fix actually addresses the cause across the conditions that triggered the original failure — not just the conditions where the bug was found. Verification is part of the work, not a postscript.
Who It's For
Built for specific situations.
- Programs facing reliability or yield issues in the field
- Teams with intermittent failures their current resources cannot resolve
- Robotics integrators needing controls programming depth on tight timelines
- Operations dealing with embedded systems failures across multiple sites
Your Embedded Engineering Partner
Scale Your Engineering Capacity
Without the Overhead
Not a traditional engineering firm — and not a staffing agency. Emtech embeds specialized technical teams directly in your environment, integrated into your workflow, accountable to your outcomes.
-
Technology-agnostic — recommending what's right, not what earns a margin.
-
Same execution depth at 1 site or 20 — scaling with the project.
-
R&D through live ops — owning the outcome, not just the kickoff.
