Breadth of Experience & Applications:
small large
low
high
The FluxSys team has gained a reputation for
supporting our clients on a very wide range of
electromagnetic designs, analysis and builds.
The common link between them all is that they are all
‘special’ and benefit from our open innovation approach
o Miniature stepper motor design for
satellite application requiring high torque density,
design for extreme conditions and reliability
o High power generator design for down-hole application
with extreme long-thin form factor and design for harsh
conditions (e.g. 160oC ‘coolant’)
o Automotive traction motor design for manufacture,
modifying electromagnetic design to take advantage of
next generation winding process technology
and many more….
o Clean-sheet electromagnetic design for automotive
in-wheel motor, collaborating and
developing client’s in-house team
o Electromagnetic simulation for client-developed
innovative NDT application

Recent PEMD activities (last 2 years)
o Completed a design for manufacture study between two very large companies (OEM and Tier1)
o Acted as a system integration advisor to 3 large companies
o Designed several unique motors from scratch – including prototyping
o Investigated electromagnetic and electrostatic problems – not all motors!
o Investigated options for modifying existing motors for custom applications
o Delivered multi-day training courses
o Developed training courses & events
o Continued development of DriveLAB* modular teaching motor and ConceptEV software products
o Supported companies to build up their own PEMD teams
o Signposted PEMD teams to recommended suppliers and collaborators

Challenges
o As a microSME, customer demand can be difficult to predict or manage even in a periods of
increased electrification interest. Our ideal relationships are those that include repeat business
or ongoing technical service agreements where we can best support the customers with
improved staff availability, responsiveness and technical capability.
o As a small company we risk being overwhelmed by large OEM companies (documentation,
process, gateways etc.) even though we may hold the specialist knowledge and flexibility they
require.
o At times, our customers require us to have very specific software or versions of license to
match to theirs which can be challenging for a single project.
o There are occasions when we need to call upon fellow microSME and SME companies to
support us or to complement our capabilities. This requires good contacts and maintaining
relationships over time, and clients to be open to it.
o As a small company, requests for multiple quotations or quote modifications can be
disproportionate to the project in question.
o The recruitment and retention of skilled and flexible staff is particularly important in a small
SME where staff are required to undertake many roles.

Opportunities
o There is currently a very large, and increasing, draw on the need for training and instruction
in electrification topics
o There is a large and active group of microSME and SME companies operating in the UK
o The industry (customers) are calling for a wide variety of electrified powertrain components,
systems, simulations, design, training and consultancy
o The current level of experience and level of knowledge in the electrified powertrain topics
within industry is typically low due to recent rapid industry changes ( sudden need for
reskilling) and disjointed academic subjects (need for upskilling - electrification is not
covered by any one academic discipline). It’s a system problem!

11.
Confidential & Copyright FluxSys Ltd 11
How can we support the PEMD industry?
o We exist as a UK-based company offering specialist
electromagnetic and electric machines design services and
capabilities in an independent and pragmatic manner
o We specialise in electromagnetic topics, electrified powertrain
topics and the training and explanation of them for
upskilling and re-skilling activities
o Our unique selling point is that we’re very well rounded in our
discipline: we’re qualified, experienced, pragmatic and
willing & able to share information and knowledge
o Are there any other equivalent or complimentary companies
(viewing this presentation) who’d like to collaborate on similar
subjects or have gaps in their services that we may be able to
support each other with?
o We expect our products (training courses, DriveLAB* and
ConceptEV) to deliver substantial positive impact – “punching
above our weight”

12.
Confidential & Copyright FluxSys Ltd 12
How can the PEMD industry support us?
o We hope customers will understand that it is in their best interest to engage with
engineering and technical teams who are practicing these topics on a daily basis,
including small ones like us. By maintaining up to date practices, tools, techniques and
experience; customers benefit from quick and pragmatic solutions to their projects.
o As a small company we’d love to engage with government funding but it really needs to have
appropriate accessibility, appropriate intensity and typically be ‘micro funding’.
e.g. DER “Building Talent for the Future” would be a good example
o We’d like to remind larger companies that we have the technical capability, the flexibility and
the experience to be able to support them but not necessarily the administrative support –
hence accessibility and engagement processes need to be appropriate
o Regular (informal) connection points such as platforms like this enable companies like us to
openly discuss how we can play an active part in the PEMD industry
