Peratio LTD  ·  Through reason

Difficult engineering, solved by reason. Not by overhead.

We take on the awkward, cross-disciplinary problems that would normally need a whole engineering firm, but aren’t big enough to justify hiring one.

What we do

One team for problems that live between the disciplines.

Some problems don’t sit neatly inside one field. They might touch chemistry, electronics and software all at once, and that usually means pulling together a whole engineering firm, with all the cost and coordination that comes with it. That’s the sort of problem we’re built for. We bring enough breadth to think across the whole system, without the overhead of a big practice.

01  ·  Understand

Work out the real problem

We start by getting to the bottom of what’s actually being asked, across every part of the problem it touches.

02  ·  Reason

Treat it as one system

Chemical, electrical and software all get worked together as one connected system, not passed between separate silos.

03  ·  Hand back

Leave you with the capability

You get a solution that works, plus the thinking behind it, so your own team can carry it on.

Disciplines

Breadth where it matters.

The hard problems usually show up at the seams between fields. We’re happy working across all of them.

Chemical

Process and materials engineering: separation, filtration, heat pumps and the equipment that surrounds them.

Electrical

Electronics, control and measurement: the sensing and signals that hold a system together.

Software

Firmware, data and modelling that turn the physical system into something you can run and trust.

What we handle

Every project is different, but a lot of them come back to the same core areas. If your problem looks like one of these, we can almost certainly help.

Who we help

Two situations we’re built for.

The problem is too broad for one specialist

It really does need several engineering disciplines working together, but it isn’t big enough to justify hiring a full engineering firm and carrying all that overhead. We give you that breadth, scoped to just the problem in front of you.

You’ve lost the capability you were founded on

A lot of companies were started by an inventor or engineer and were once deeply research-led. As they grew into delivery, that R&D muscle quietly faded. Then a problem comes along that depends on exactly that kind of internal knowledge. We help you rebuild it and put it back to work.

Have a problem worth reasoning through?

Tell us what you’re stuck on. If it’s the kind of difficult, cross-disciplinary problem we’re built for, we’ll tell you honestly, and roughly how we’d go about it.
