Some of My Clients
Most of my clients for large projects are not listed below for confidentiality reasons.
Mechatronic Solutions LLC welcomes a wide range of mechatronic projects. With 32 years of experience in product durability and performance testing, data acquisition, and analysis in the automotive and agricultural vehicle sectors, I bring deep industry expertise to every project. My lifelong passion for programming and electronics fuels innovative solutions, delivering top-notch services tailored to your needs.
I only work remote. I will work in sprints of 40+ hours per week for approximately two weeks as needed, but not on a full-time basis. Please DO NOT ASK ME TO BE PHYSICALLY ON-SITE AT YOUR LOCATION.
I prefer to quote a fixed price for a project based on a functional specification that I will create based on your stated project needs. If your project exceeds the scope defined in the functional specification, then I will quote the additional work separately. If I have to learn something new for your project, I typically will not charge you for that effort. My rate is very competitive. I may be willing to do your project for FREE if it is of particular interest to me, in exchange for a testimonial from you, and the ability to share a vague description of the project on my website. Anything I do for you under contract is owned by you, and the confidentiality of the project is assured.
I can help you with anything related to the use of NI DIAdem for the analysis of test and/or sensor measurement data, including custom scripts and apps to automate data processing, analysis, and visualization. I can create a custom DataPlugin for you to use with NI DIAdem or NI LabVIEW.
Extraction of data from sources online using techniques such as web scraping or an online API. Measurement and recording of raw data from sensors using a device I will build, leased equipment, or your data logging device(s).
Data extraction from multiple sources and formats cleaned and then combined into a single structure (ETL - extract, transform, load).
Confidence in data is hard to get, but easy to lose. Avoid at all costs showing inaccurate data to stakeholders, otherwise, their confidence in the data will fade very quickly. Taking care of data quality is an investment that is worth doing as early as possible.
Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) Model building & deployment. Time series data analysis, forecasting, and anomaly detection.
Remote control, monitoring, and data recording packaged within a custom enclosure and electronics on a custom printed circuit board (PCB) and custom firmware on a microcontroller can be quickly and inexpensively developed. Monitoring and control from a custom iOS or Android phone app is possible and inexpensive.
I can help you determine the frequency content of whatever you are measuring, and then tell you the maximum sensor response time and minimum sample rate that should be employed. I will work with your team to determine the product characteristics or process variables that influence your product/process performance, and I can guide them through a design of experiments if necessary.
Once the basic data collection parameters are determined, I can help you to either choose and deploy commercially available product and services for your needs, or I can create a custom hardware and software solutions, beginning from data collection and all the way to data storage, visualization, and analytics. I know how to minimize transmitted data payloads, and to use secure protocols efficiently.
The design and manufacture of small volume printed circuit board (PCB) is very fast and affordable. I can also design one with surface mounted components that are assembled in high volume by a supplier at a low cost.
Design components with the proper strength, dimensional characteristics, and functional capabilities to meet your application requirements. I can also procure for you of one-off proof-of-concept (POC) units and connect you with high volume suppliers. Assembly, welding, etc. through local reliable suppliers too.

“Mark has assisted me with several data analysis projects. Each time, he has gone above and beyond the scope of the project to confirm that the solution delivered meets our needs and functions exactly as promised.”
Chip Hunter
CEO of Hunter Hobbies LLC
”Mark helped streamline my business by converting a manual assembly of electronics components to a printed circuit board. He also created an easy to use e-commerce store. The time this has saved me is priceless and has helped my business to grow.”
Vinitha Moskal
CEO of SmartCost Inc
“When you are on a mission to build and deploy highly connected business processes across the manufacturing and supply chain operations, understanding data and having the ability to gather it is crucial. Having a trusted partner who can brainstorm, test, and help deploy such solutions is critical for our organization. Mark Kiehl and Mechatronic Solutions LLC has never let us down. Managing various industry needs while ensuring supply risk is mitigated in all our designs, Mark is my go-to solutions partner when it comes to developing custom IoT solutions and providing data analytics.”
Andrew Tarman
Engineer for CNH Industrial
“Mark developed and delivered DIAdem training specific to our needs. The resulting videos, printed training materials, and examples are exactly what we needed to help develop our team.”
South West Cape Coral Action Committee (SWCCAC) Board of Directors
"Our association was at a crossroads when we hired Mark Kiehl to provide consulting services. We needed an honest assessment of our technological strengths and weaknesses in order to make policy decisions after a change in leadership, and his expertise and patience have given us the understanding and direction we need to move forward effectively as an association. "
Björn Michalski
Graduate student at Fachhochschule Dortmund - University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Dortmund, Germany
“I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Mark Kiehl on programming a script in the Diadem software from the manufacturer NI. The aim of this script was to evaluate the emissions measured on a chassis dynamometer. The measurement data from two different measurement systems had to be synchronized and the results output in a clear report.
Mr. Kiehl proved to be extremely professional during our collaboration. He implemented the client's specifications reliably and promptly. He also contributed his own ideas, which helped to improve the results. His expertise and commitment contributed significantly to the success of this project.
I can recommend Mr. Kiehl without reservation and look forward to working with him again in the future.
