End-to-end system integration solutions
Most generalist engineering service providers treat system integration as a fragmented process, writing software off-site but lacking the heavy industrial capability to safely align the mechanical hardware and wire the control panels. This disjointed approach leads to communication faults, unsafe workarounds, and increased risks of unpredictable downtime.
MEX Engineering Group provides a complete, full-stack integration solution. By deploying stable, long-term technicians who learn the precise history of your assets, we build deep institutional memory. From integrating high-speed conveyors and robotic arms to custom low-voltage power distribution and SCADA networks, we engineer strategic, long-term upgrades that eliminate recurring bottlenecks and maximise your asset lifecycles.
Types of industrial integrated systems
Our industrial electricians and mechanical fitters specialise in the rigorous digital and physical environments of heavy industry. We are highly experienced in integrating and maintaining a wide variety of complex production systems, including:
High-speed packaging lines
Integrating bottling machines, and servo drives requiring microsecond precision.
Automated conveyor networks
Synchronising heavy-duty belts, sensors, and sorting lines for fast-moving goods.
Process fluid and temperature controls
Integrating custom Motor Control Centres (MCCs) with complex valve manifolds and refrigeration systems.
Machine safety networks
Upgrading legacy equipment with modern safety PLCs and interlocked guarding to meet current Australian Standards.
Trusted by Australia’s Leading Manufacturers
MEX Engineering Group provides embedded site teams and engineering services to some of the country’s largest production facilities. We maintain critical infrastructure for industry leaders across FMCG, food and beverage, and high-speed packaging, including Tooheys, CHEP, Ullrich Aluminium, Goodman Fielder, and BlueScope Steel.
From engineering design to boots-on-the-ground execution
We eliminate contractor inconsistency by managing the entire lifecycle of your industrial business. Our process begins with detailed CAD-based mechanical design and control system architecture.
We then deploy our in-house tradespeople to execute the installation, ensuring that the engineering strategy is perfectly translated into practical, on-site reality. We secure this investment by providing comprehensive as-built drawings and ongoing fractional maintenance coverage.
Complete turnkey system integration for high-volume food production
Our food production client operates a critical high-volume production facility requiring precise mechanical and electrical synchronisation. MEX Engineering Group was engaged to execute a complete turnkey system integration for their Line 2 packaging upgrade.
Our in-house engineering team designed and installed the new mechanical conveyors, a bag closing machine, and a metal detector. We subsequently programmed the PLC and servo drive for the new bag lifter, integrating these diverse components into a single, cohesive production line. By handling both the mechanical installation and the electrical automation in-house, we eliminated third-party delays and delivered a high-performance system that significantly improved their packaging throughput.
Reliable system integration framework
We follow a structured 6-step framework to embed our integration expertise inside your facility:
System capability assessment
Identifying communication bottlenecks, unsupported legacy controls, and physical mechanical constraints.
Fractional Maintenance Integration
Embedding our technicians to build site knowledge, applying diagnostic tools like vibration analysis to stabilise reactive faults before major integration begins.
Engineering design & architecture
Using the latest CAD software to design robust Low Voltage power distribution and AS/NZS compliant control architectures.
Safety concept development
Translating identified risks into an engineered design, specifying the required safety PLCs and physical guarding.
Turnkey System Commissioning
Executing mechanical, PLC, and SCADA upgrades securely during planned shutdown windows to protect throughput.
24/7 breakdown availability
Providing rapid-response on-call support to act as your safety net once the integrated system goes live.
What Our Clients Are Saying
We would highly recommend MEX Engineering Group to any business looking to improve equipment reliability, product quality, and operational performance. Their response time is fantastic for breakdown support 24 hour 7 days a week.

Adapting to High-Speed Manufacturing Demands
Australian manufacturing facilities face immense pressure to increase throughput, automate processes, and run 24/7 rosters. Operating isolated legacy machinery that cannot communicate with modern SCADA networks poses a severe risk to your output.
Fragmented communication between separate mechanical and electrical contractors leads to extended shutdowns and blown budgets. Engaging a single, authoritative engineering service provider for system integration is no longer a luxury; it is the only reliable way to safely transition to high-speed automation while protecting your critical uptime and preventing the massive cost of halted production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is system integration critical for modern manufacturing?
System integration connects isolated machinery, electrical controls, and data communications into a single, cohesive line. This prevents operational bottlenecks, reduces manual handling errors, and ensures that mechanical and electrical components operate in perfect synchronisation to maximise throughput.
How does in-house engineering capability reduce integration risks?
Most safety consultants and generalist firms only provide advisory services or write software off-site, forcing you to source separate electrical and mechanical contractors. This creates massive contractor handoff risk. Through our in-house engineering capability, we execute the mechanical fabrication, electrical wiring, PLC programming, and final commissioning with our own licensed tradespeople.
What is the difference between PLC automation and a SCADA system upgrade?
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) provides direct, on-machine automation, instructing mechanical parts on exactly how and when to move. A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is the overarching software that connects multiple PLCs, allowing plant managers to monitor the entire production line, gather data, and control processes remotely from a central interface.
Do you provide fractional maintenance for newly integrated systems?
Yes. When production demands surge or your internal staff need time to adapt to newly integrated technology, we supply embedded, highly skilled technicians to provide fractional contract maintenance. This ensures your line remains fully supported during peak runs without the overhead of hiring full-time staff.
How does your 24/7 Breakdown Availability work?
Unlike generalist engineering firms who quote fast but mobilise slowly, MEX Engineering Group operates a true 24 hour, 7 day breakdown infrastructure. We provide rapid, on-call mechanical and electrical response capabilities designed specifically to shorten recovery time and restore production when critical infrastructure fails.
Are your engineering services compliant with Australian Standards?
Absolutely. We operate under rigorous HSEQ frameworks, and international certifications. Our engineering designs strictly adhere to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and are supported by in-house TÜV Nord-certified CMSE® – Certified Machinery Safety Experts.
