About Us
Our Founding Story
“Imagine a factory where every engineering process flows seamlessly, where every product bears the mark of excellence.”
This vision belongs to our Co-Founder, Martin, whose journey to transform manufacturing and engineering is deeply rooted in real-world experiences.
Martin’s career began on the shop floor of Tier One Automotive companies where he spent his days as a Manufacturing Manager, fighting fires that could have been avoided. He witnessed firsthand the repercussions of manual errors and the frustration of apologising to customers for faulty products. These moments ignited a desire in him, for a better way forward.
In 2009, Martin, along with his wife Bernadette, co-founded Metis Automation. Their shared vision was clear: to develop LabVIEW software solutions that elevate the working lives of engineers and manufacturers, enabling them to produce outstanding quality products they can be proud of. Since then, Martin has become the only software Architect in the world to score 100% on the Architect exam.
Metis Automation has completed over 150 projects, including prestigious collaborations like working with the European Space Agency on testing the Solar Orbiter, for which they were finalists in the NI Engineering Impact Awards. Our expertise in LabVIEW has allowed us to solve complex engineering problems and streamline manufacturing processes, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and excellence at every step.
With the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, Martin knew that the time had come to create a software product to create impacts for manufactures on multiple levels throughout the factory. Him and their team channelled their collective expertise into Tascus. Each feature of Tascus was designed working directly with real customers to alleviate their problems.
Tascus garnered recognition by winning the prestigious Industry 4.0 Award from the Northern Automotive Alliance, but the true victory lies in the positive impact Tascus has on the daily operations of its users.
At Metis Automation, our team is dedicated to enhancing the quality of your working life by providing the tools you need to excel in engineering and manufacturing. We empower you with LabVIEW software solutions that transform your challenges into triumphs.
