Who we are
An engineering company in Pune
Vebix Automation is an engineering company in Pune. Embedded systems, robotics, naval hardware and precision mechanical work, run by engineers who came out of industry and research.
Defence, subsea and UAV engineering · Pune, India
Hardware for
hard places.
Vebix Automation builds UAV, underwater and defence systems — and is the authorised Indian distributor for Blu-Sub Mechatronics subsea components, Holybro UAV avionics and T-Motor propulsion.

01 — Choose your environment
One team. Every layer of the build.Where will your
next idea go?
Start with the environment. Discover the engineering, components and experience to get there.
UAV / FLIGHT SYSTEMSBuilt to take flight.
Custom UAV platforms, flight avionics and propulsion. From an autopilot to an integrated aircraft, with the engineering to connect it all.
SUBSEA / UNDERWATER SYSTEMSEngineered for the depths.
Pressure-rated enclosures, underwater thrusters and sealed connections. Build an ROV or AUV with parts selected to work together.
ROBOTICS / INTEGRATED SYSTEMSIdeas put into motion.
Robotic arms, embedded controls and precision mechanical assemblies. Mechanics, electronics and software developed by one team.
The company
A small team that
builds its own hardware.
We are not a consultancy that writes reports. Things leave this building as objects — welded, wired, sealed and tested.
How we work
From requirement to drawings
You tell us what it has to do. We work out the mechanics, the electronics and the control, then hand back CAD models, manufacturing drawings and the tests to prove it.
What we get asked for
Replacing an imported part
A lot of jobs start the same way: a part that has to come from abroad. We measure it, model it, check the material, and design an equivalent that can be made here.
Where it has to work
Where the hardware has to work
Submarine and torpedo systems. Communications aboard a ship. Instrumentation at −40 °C. The environment settles the design long before the bench gets a say.
Who we work with
A university and three manufacturers
Joint research and prototyping with MIT-ADT University, Pune. Manufacturing through Gandharva Engineers, Shravani Engineers and Kyue Measurement & Control.
What we do
Four disciplines,
handled by one team.
A drone that logs flight data is a mechanical problem, an electrical problem, an embedded problem and a control problem at the same time. We take all four, so nothing falls down the gap between them.
Robotics
Six-axis arms, and arms on wheels. The kinematics, the control loop, and a panel someone can actually drive it from.
Electronics
Schematics, BOMs and board bring-up — including the unglamorous business of working out why a board ignores its own datasheet.
Embedded
Sensors, telemetry and logging. Firmware that keeps its own time when GNSS drops out and the ground station stops answering.
Mechanical
CAD to drawing to part. Enclosures, fixtures and tooling, drawn well enough that a vendor can quote without ringing you up.

Selected work
Drones, data loggers and
naval cable assemblies.
Thirteen projects for defence trials, Indian Navy equipment and research labs. Some we designed from nothing. One arrived in pieces. One we rebuilt from the part itself, because the drawings no longer existed.
ARDE hexacopter
Six motors, 10 kg all up, up to 40 minutes in the air. Built for fuze-height simulation, with waypoint navigation, return-to-home and encrypted two-way comms.

Naval cable hardware
Casings, flanges and couplings on a ship’s communication system, with no drawings anywhere. We measured the parts and drew them back into existence.
View project →
Navy quadcopter, repaired
It arrived broken. GNSS dropping out, the ground station silent, timestamps disagreeing. It went back logging properly again.
View project →
Airborne data logger
RTD, thermocouple, IMU and pressure on one board. Up to 500 samples a second, down to −40 °C, under 100 grams.
View project →Six-axis arm on wheels
Six joints and a mobile base, driven from a single MATLAB panel. Move a joint, watch it move, adjust. No editing code between attempts.
View project →
Submarine cable assembly
An imported assembly for submarine and torpedo systems. Reverse-engineered, redesigned for Indian manufacture, then pressure- and insulation-tested.
View project →Parts
Three manufacturers we
distribute in India.
Thrusters that work 300 metres down. Autopilots for anything unmanned. Motors that lift. We are the authorised Indian distributor for all three, so the part arrives with someone to ask about it.
62 products
Blu-Sub Mechatronics
Thrusters, housings, penetrators and connectors rated to 300 metres. The parts an ROV is actually made of.

116 products
Holybro
Autopilots, GNSS, telemetry and power modules. The flight stack for anything unmanned, plus the kits to develop on.

53 products
T-Motor
Motors, speed controllers and propellers, chosen as a set — because picking them separately is how a build ends up under-powered.
Browse the range →Building a whole vehicle?
A 300 metre thruster on a 100 metre housing gives you a 100 metre vehicle. The parts have to agree with each other, and two pages here walk through how.
