Works Studio by Zeromachine

Automotive Electrical & Electronics System Design Consultancy


Introducing Works Studio, the specialist electrical and electronics design division of Zeromachine. We deliver advanced system and wiring harness design to meet our own in house needs and as a trusted engineering design partner to external clients across automotive, agricultural, construction machinery (NRMM), light marine, horticultural, and related sectors.

Drawing on decades of hands-on engineering experience, we create award-winning, sustainable high and low voltage electrical distribution system solutions for the next generation of machinery and vehicles—including battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell hybrid, internal combustion hybrid, as well as legacy and classic equipment. 

Whether you need a ground up system design or support for existing platforms, Works Studio offers flexible expertise wherever electrical reliability and technical excellence matter.

What we offer

Comprehensive Electrical & Electronics Design Services

 

Works Studio offers a full suite of electrical and electronics design services, meeting the diverse needs of modern non road mobile machinery, vehicles, and legacy equipment. Our expertise ensures robust, efficient, and compliant system architectures—whether you require design-only support, guidance for manufacturing partners, or managed prototype builds.

Key Service Areas

1. Wiring Harness Design and Engineering

  • Custom harnesses for automotive, construction machinery (NRMM), agricultural, marine, horticultural, and special machinery.
  • High-voltage (up to 700VDC), low-voltage (up to 60VDC), and hybrid system integration.
  • Detailed schematic capture in 2D/3D CAD, cable routing, breakout tables, and full documentation.
  • Focus on manufacturability, serviceability, and compliance (EMC/EMI, IP ratings, safety standards).

2. Control System & Electronics Design

  • Engineering of relay logic, contactor panels, and discrete control systems for rugged reliability.
  • Embedded microcontroller-based systems (PIC and others) for custom controls, automation, and monitoring.
  • Hybrid and legacy system modernization—bridging older platforms with new digital control, diagnostics, or remote monitoring features.

3. System Architecture & Prototyping

  • End-to-end electrical and electronics system development, from technical requirements to initial hardware.
  • Full system layout, interface design (CAN, LIN), and schematic validation.
  • Rapid prototyping: harness mock-ups, breadboards, or low-volume builds with trusted subcontractors.

4. Engineering Consultancy

  • Independent design-only engagements or design and support for manufacturing/manufacture selection.
  • Advisory on hydrogen fuel cell electrification, HV integration, retrofit strategies, and compliance (UKCA/CE, ISO, sector-specific).
  • Diagnostic support and troubleshooting for both contemporary and legacy machinery.

5. Documentation & Training

  • Comprehensive technical manuals, handover documentation, and detailed wiring diagrams.
  • Bespoke training solutions for technicians, engineers, and operators—tailored to your equipment and systems.

Specialist Expertise

Hydrogen & Electric Machinery: Design consultancy for fuel cell and BEV/EV platforms, including safe HV distribution and hydrogen fuel cell integration.

Typical Engagement Path

  1. Consultation:
    Understand project needs, existing equipment, targets, and constraints.
  2. System Design:
    Layout schematics, select components, and prepare documentation.
  3. Prototype & Validation:
    Build and test, using simulation or physical builds as required.
  4. Manufacturing Support:
    Handover to your manufacturer, or managed through approved subcontractors.
  5. Deployment & Training:
    Ensure a smooth transfer to operations and in-field teams.
