Engineering the Impossibles
5Tech provides AI automation, robotics, embedded systems, and custom engineering solutions for businesses in Canada.
Canadian engineering consultancy for AI automation, robotics, embedded systems, machine vision, and custom hardware/software prototyping. We work across robotics, AI, software, hardware, and mechanics — from an independent feasibility assessment through to a built, integrated, documented system — for businesses across Canada. Whether you are a manufacturer, a warehouse, a retailer, a facilities team, a research group, or a small business, we turn manual, error-prone, or unsafe work into dependable automated systems that target a measurable return.
AI, robotics, and embedded engineering services
Automation solutions for real business problems
We do not sell technology for its own sake. Every engagement targets a measurable outcome — fewer defects, less downtime, less manual work, or a validated prototype — and starts small so you can prove value before scaling. In practice that might mean machine-vision inspection catching defects at line speed, an AI agent taking repetitive back-office work off your team, a custom sensor giving you visibility you never had, or a robot handling a task that is hard to staff safely.
Industries we help
- Manufacturing Automation — Vision inspection, robotics, and monitoring engineered onto your existing line.
- Warehouse & Logistics Robotics — Mobile robots, robotic handling, and vision integrated into your warehouse.
- Retail & E-commerce AI Automation — AI agents for orders, support, and back-office automation.
- Smart Buildings & IoT — Custom sensing, connectivity, and dashboards for facilities and buildings.
- Research & Prototyping — Custom rigs, sensors, and prototypes to test research ideas fast.
- Small Business Automation — Practical AI and workflow automation scoped for smaller teams and budgets.
From idea to prototype to deployment
- Discovery: We map the workflow, constraints, and a measurable success metric before building anything.
- Prototype: We build the smallest thing that proves value on your real data, line, or equipment.
- Integrate: We connect it to your systems with safety, guardrails, and human approvals where they matter.
- Deploy and hand over: We harden, document, and transfer the solution so your team can run and maintain it.
How an engagement works
Most projects start with a short, free discovery call and a narrowly scoped first milestone — usually a prototype on your real data or equipment — so you can validate value before a larger commitment. From there we integrate with the systems you already run, add the safety, guardrails, and approvals the task needs, then harden, document, and hand over so your team can operate what we built. You keep the design files, source code, and documentation.
Why 5Tech
- A multi-disciplinary team across robotics, AI, software, hardware, and mechanics
- Independent, honest advice — including when not to build something
- Integration with the systems and equipment you already run
- Documented, maintainable systems your team owns
An engineering consultant serving Canada
5Tech is an AI automation, robotics, and embedded systems consultancy based in the Vancouver, BC area, working with businesses across Canada — remotely and on-site where a project needs it. We help manufacturers, warehouses, retailers, facilities teams, research groups, and small businesses turn manual, error-prone, or unsafe work into dependable automated systems. Our work spans AI automation and agents, robotics integration, embedded systems and IoT, machine-vision inspection, and custom hardware and software prototyping — from an independent feasibility assessment through to a built, integrated, and documented system your team owns and can maintain.
Start With One Automation Idea
You do not need to commit to a full automation project immediately. Send 5Tech one repetitive workflow, inspection task, sensor problem, robotics challenge, or prototype idea. We will review it and suggest whether it can be tested with AI agents, machine vision, embedded IoT, robotics, or custom software. If it is practical, we can move to a small prototype sprint before full implementation; if it is not practical, we will tell you. Start My Free First Phase.
