01 / WHERE WE CAN HELP
For manufacturing teams, machinery OEMs, and businesses developing industrial products and processes.
“We need an experienced engineering perspective.”
Assess a technical problem, review a design, or evaluate options before committing to an equipment or process change.
Typical scope Feasibility studies · Design reviews · Technical troubleshooting · Engineering plans
“We need to develop a new machine.”
Define the architecture, mechanisms, web paths, hydraulics, and operating sequences around the production requirement.
Typical scope Concept layouts · Design reviews · Specifications · Detailed-engineering coordination
“Our existing equipment and processes should perform better.”
Develop mechanical retrofits, equipment upgrades, and process changes to resolve bottlenecks, improve quality, and reduce cycle time.
Typical scope Retrofit design · Root-cause analysis · Process review · Performance validation
“Our machines and processes need to work together.”
Develop and troubleshoot automation and control strategies for curing processes, web tension, and machine motion—including complex interactions between machines and processes.
Typical scope Automation concepts · Control philosophy · Operating sequences · Interlocks · Cross-machine coordination
“We need to get equipment into reliable production.”
Plan and support equipment installation, alignment, startup, and commissioning. Check operating sequences and interlocks, resolve startup problems, and validate production performance.
Typical scope Installation planning · Site supervision · Startup troubleshooting · Commissioning support
“We need a practical route to production.”
Connect product decisions with supplier capability, manufacturing cost, service access, and production readiness.
Typical scope Feasibility · Make-or-buy assessment · Supplier technical review · Manufacturing plan
Siva leads control strategy, operating sequences, and safety interlocks, with electrical design and programming delivered by specialists.

03 / DIRECT ACCESS TO EXPERIENCE
Siva AddankiFOUNDER · EMDWORKS, LLC
View professional backgroundGood engineering makes equipment, processes, and controls work together on the factory floor.
Siva brings more than 40 years of experience across machinery design, process improvement, control strategy, installation, commissioning, supplier development, and industrial business leadership. He has worked on various industrial projects with an estimated combined value of USD 1–2 billion over his career.
His career includes chief-designer responsibility for curing machinery, complete converting and process lines, and international manufacturing programs. He has led engineering teams and businesses across India and the Americas.
You work directly with Siva to define the problem, agree on scope, and identify the engineering and specialist resources the project needs.
04 / A PRACTICAL FIRST STEP
Explain the equipment, process, or controls problem and what success would look like.
Define deliverables, responsibilities, timing, and commercial terms before detailed work begins.
A feasibility review, a design package, or an improvement plan—with the evidence needed to act.
BEFORE WE TALK
Yes. Bring an early concept, an existing machine or process problem, or a proposed retrofit. We can begin with a focused technical review and agree on the next steps.
Yes. This includes automation concepts, curing-process controls, web tension, machine motion, and coordination between machines and processes.
We agree on deliverables, scope, fees, and any specialist support before work begins.
Start with a non-confidential outline. Agree on confidentiality and secure document exchange before sharing sensitive information.
Contact Siva to discuss an investment or industrial partnership. Manufacturing investment in India.
