Novium Designs
Fostering Innovation in Robotics-Inspired Engineering

Robotics-inspired engineering solutions have become indispensable assets in modern industries, revolutionizing productivity and problem-solving approaches. As companies seek to incorporate these into their workflows, Novium Designs leverages its niche robotics specialization to help them navigate the terrain of industrial robotics.

Rooted in innovation and cutting-edge technology, Novium pushes the boundaries of conventional robotics-inspired engineering. It boasts a team with a rich NASA heritage, utilizing this unique pedigree to catalyze advancements across diverse sectors ranging from agriculture and manufacturing to the frontier of space exploration.

Its vision is to empower engineers and promote ingenious problem-solving techniques. Instead of using automation to reduce labor, Novium significantly boosts productivity, enabling one worker to produce the output of ten. This strategic perspective gives it a competitive advantage, especially in regions where labor costs are low, by maximizing the performance of the existing workforce.

“We are not driven by profits, but by values. We treasure integrity, personal growth, teamwork, and technical excellence by building meaningful relationships with our clients, partners, and communities. We think like robots but do business like humans,” says Brice Howard, President.

Novium adopts the highly efficient engineering process encapsulated in NASA’s standard EA-WI-023. The methodology starts with an understanding of customer needs during the planning phase. It assists in formulating project requirements, and creating a detailed requirements document, to ensure a tailored solution. Once the customer approves the initial design, its team moves forward with the technical and critical design phases.

This structured approach reflects Novium’s professionalism and methodical process execution. Attention to detail at every stage guarantees optimal utilization of the customer’s investment, resulting in efficient and high-value outcomes.

This is enhanced by its 7500-square-foot facility, outfitted with a high bay and a five-ton crane. It houses a diverse team of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers. The facility is a one-stop shop for problem-solving, seeing each project through from conception to delivery.

A recent success story sheds light on the company’s superior capabilities. A construction industry client, who had a robotic platform for marking construction lines, was hindered by the laser’s limited accuracy. Novium created a two-camera gimbal system that exceeded the client’s accuracy requirement for their robot, reducing setup times and increasing job capacity.

Such successes can be traced back to Novium’s team, composed of individuals with experience working with various robots in diverse environments, from the deep sea to mines. This enables it to utilize this expertise across diverse scenarios.

In just two years, the company has impressed its clientele with the speed and sophistication of its solutions. It has developed space modules, inflatable technologies, and mechanisms for space while also solving complex problems in different industries. Its ability to quickly understand the challenges and devise solutions that the clients would not have thought of themselves is a hallmark of their work.

Novium Designs is a company built by engineers for engineers’ empowerment. It strives to create a culture of efficiency and creativity, fostering an environment that allows engineers to swiftly solve problems and instill passion into their work. This ethos has also impacted its customer relationships. It believes in its customers’ missions, advancing them with care and speed. As they navigate the landscape of robotics and engineering, their focus remains on their core values, which continue to guide them toward a future where they can create, innovate, and solve more.
