About Canopus Innovation

We move more than machinery. We protect production.

Canopus Innovation brings engineering, field execution and digital documentation together to deliver complex industrial change as one coordinated project.

Who we are

Industrial change is never just a move.

A production line is a connected system of geometry, utilities, controls, equipment and knowledge. Moving it successfully means preserving all of those relationships.

We support manufacturers through factory relocations, production-line transfers, press-system moves and individual machinery projects. Our work can begin with 3D scanning and technical registration, continue through dismantling, packing and transport, and finish with installation, alignment and recommissioning.

When new capacity is required, we also source machinery and complete production lines against the customer’s technical and commercial brief.

How we think

The move begins long before anything is lifted.

Good execution starts with an accurate understanding of the existing factory. We document what is there, define what must remain connected, and build the sequence around safety, access, schedule and restart.

  1. 01

    Precision before force

    Measure, register and engineer before dismantling begins.

  2. 02

    One chain of responsibility

    Keep disciplines aligned through a single coordinated plan.

  3. 03

    Production is the finish line

    A move is complete when the system is safely working again.

Our operating model

From reality capture to restart.

Every project is different, but the discipline remains the same: understand the system, control the interfaces, and make each phase prepare the next.

  1. 01

    Understand the existing reality.

    Site assessment, 3D scanning, asset registration and interface documentation establish a reliable technical baseline.

  2. 02

    Design the sequence.

    We plan access, lifting, separation points, packing, transport, foundations, utilities and the installation path.

  3. 03

    Control the movement.

    Specialist teams dismantle, protect, rig and transport equipment according to the agreed project sequence.

  4. 04

    Return the system to production.

    Equipment is positioned, aligned, reconnected, tested and handed over for a controlled restart.

Why Canopus Innovation

  1. 01

    Proven on mega projects

    We have successfully delivered numerous large-scale and mega industrial projects, including complex programs lasting one to two years from initial planning to final commissioning. These projects involve multiple production lines, heavy machinery, specialist teams, international logistics and tightly coordinated installation schedules.

  2. 02

    Experience earned through real challenges

    Our experience has been built on demanding industrial sites—not in theory. We have overcome heavy lifts, restricted access, structural limitations, unexpected site conditions, schedule changes, cross-border logistics and complex technical interfaces. This practical knowledge allows us to anticipate problems, respond decisively and keep critical projects moving forward.

  3. 03

    Planning connected to site reality

    Using detailed site assessments, 3D scanning and technical documentation, we connect the project plan to the actual conditions on the ground. Every machine, connection and interface is considered before dismantling begins, reducing uncertainty during transport and reinstallation.

  4. 04

    One coordinated path to production

    From documentation and dismantling to packing, transport, installation, alignment and commissioning, every stage is planned around the next. We remain focused on the final objective: returning the complete system to safe, reliable and production-ready operation.

Where we create value

Built around the project — not a single trade.

Customers can engage Canopus for a complete relocation or for a clearly defined specialist scope within a wider project.

  1. 01

    Industrial relocation

    Complete factories, linked production systems, heavy press lines and individual machinery — planned from shutdown through restart.

  2. 02

    3D capture and documentation

    Accurate as-found records of facilities and equipment for relocation, design coordination, verification and future planning.

  3. 03

    Machinery and line sourcing

    Technical search, inspection and coordinated delivery of machinery or complete production capacity against the customer brief.

Industries we support

Complex environments demand disciplined delivery.

Our approach adapts to the technical, regulatory and operational demands of each facility while maintaining the same focus on safety, traceability and production continuity.
